We install and repair flat roofs on garages, extensions, and outbuildings across Wells-next-the-Sea using modern EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems that last far longer than traditional felt. Flat roofs in coastal North Norfolk need proper specification — we choose materials that won't be compromised by UV exposure, salt air, or standing water. Free inspection and written quotation on all flat roofing work.

Flat roofing is used on garage roofs, single-storey extensions, bay window tops, and outbuildings throughout Wells-next-the-Sea. Traditional three-layer felt systems, common on properties built before the 1990s, have a lifespan of around 10 to 15 years and are prone to blistering, cracking, and ponding water in the coastal climate here. When these fail, they fail quickly and can cause significant damage to ceilings and internal walls before the source is obvious.
We install EPDM rubber membrane and GRP fibreglass systems as our primary flat roofing solutions. EPDM is a single-piece rubber membrane bonded directly to the deck — there are no seams to split and it handles the thermal movement that occurs in exposed coastal locations very well. GRP fibreglass is extremely durable and gives a hard, seamless finish well suited to walkable surfaces or areas with complex upstands and trim details. Both systems carry manufacturer warranties of 20 to 25 years and require very little maintenance. We assess the existing roof deck during inspection and replace any soft or rotten plywood or OSB boarding before laying the new system.
A flat roof installed by an unqualified contractor — particularly with cold-applied felt or low-grade torch-on systems — will typically fail within five years in the Wells-next-the-Sea environment. Poor falls, insufficient upstands, and inadequate weathering around rooflights or parapets are the most common causes of premature failure we see when inspecting other contractors' work.
We survey flat roofs at no charge and provide a written fixed-price quotation. Most garage or single-storey extension flat roofs are completed within one to two days. We install GRP trim and drip edges as standard, and all work is fully insured.
Flat roofs in Wells-next-the-Sea typically cost between £70 and £120 per square metre for a new EPDM or GRP installation, including deck preparation and all edging details.
