Flat Roofing

Flat roofs on extensions, garages, and outbuildings need the right system to perform well in Norfolk's damp climate. We install and repair flat roofs across Aylsham using modern EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems that outperform old felt by a considerable margin.

What's involved

Flat Roofing in Aylsham

Flat roofing is needed on house extensions, single-storey additions, bay window canopies, garages, and commercial premises. Old felt flat roofs fail regularly and are no longer worth replacing like-for-like - modern EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems are far more durable and better suited to the wet Norfolk winters.

For a new flat roof or a full replacement, we begin by stripping the existing covering and inspecting the deck beneath. Any soft or rotten chipboard or plywood is replaced before the new system goes down. For EPDM installations, the rubber membrane is bonded to the deck in large sheets with very few joins, which is where most flat roof leaks originate. For GRP, we lay fibreglass matting and apply resin in layers to form a fully seamless, rigid covering that is then finished with a coloured topcoat. Edge trims, drip edges, and upstand details are finished to prevent water from tracking back under the membrane. Falls are checked to make sure water drains to the outlet.

A poorly installed flat roof is the most common source of water ingress in single-storey extensions across Norfolk. The difference between a five-year and a 25-year lifespan on a flat roof comes down to the quality of the material and the care taken with edge and upstand details.

We survey flat roofs before quoting and provide a written breakdown of the work. Most domestic flat roof replacements are completed in one to two days. We work across Aylsham and the wider North Norfolk area.

Flat roofs in Aylsham typically cost between £70 and £110 per square metre for a GRP or EPDM system installed, depending on the size, access, and condition of the existing deck.

Questions

What people ask first.

Most homeowners in Aylsham should budget between £5,500 and £12,000 for a new pitched roof on a standard semi-detached or detached house. The main cost factors are roof area, pitch, and whether you choose concrete tiles, clay tiles, or natural slate. We provide a full written quote after surveying the roof, so you know exactly what's included.
If more than a third of the tiles or slates are cracked, slipping, or missing, or if you are getting water ingress in multiple places, a full replacement is usually better value than ongoing repairs. We can carry out a survey and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your property.
Minor repairs such as replacing a small number of broken tiles or re-bedding loose ridge tiles typically cost between £150 and £400 in the Aylsham area. More involved work like repairing a chimney flashing or fixing a leaking valley will usually fall in the £300 to £700 range. We give you a clear price before we start.
Flat roofing is almost always priced per square metre, with the total depending on the system chosen, the size of the roof, and whether the deck needs replacing underneath. In Aylsham, EPDM and GRP flat roof installations typically run between £70 and £110 per square metre fully installed. A small garage or extension roof of 20 square metres would therefore fall in the £1,400 to £2,200 range.
For a typical semi-detached property in Aylsham, most customers budget between £800 and £1,500 for a full fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement. The final price depends on the total run of boards, whether any rafter feet need repair, and how many storeys need access. We provide a written quote after a free roofline survey so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Replacing the lead flashing on all four sides of a standard chimney in Aylsham usually costs between £400 and £700, including repointing the chase. If only the front apron and back gutter need attention, the cost is lower. We quote per job after inspecting the chimney, not on a blanket day rate.
Chimney rebuild costs are not usually quoted per metre because access, brick matching, and the number of pots all affect the price significantly. As a rough guide, a full rebuild of a standard single stack above the roofline in Aylsham, including scaffold and new lead, runs between £1,500 and £2,800. A partial rebuild of the top two or three courses is typically £900 to £1,400.
For a standard two-storey property in Aylsham, chimney removal including scaffold, making good the roof, and disposing of the brickwork typically costs between £900 and £1,800. The price varies with the height of the stack, the type of roof covering, and how much tile or slate work is needed to close the opening neatly. We give a fixed price after seeing the job.
