Flat Roofing

Flat roofs on garages, extensions and commercial buildings need the right system from the outset — poor installation is the most common reason they fail early. We install and repair flat roofs across Cromer using GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt systems, all with long-term guarantees.

What's involved

Flat Roofing in Cromer

Flat roofs have a bad reputation, and it's largely undeserved — most of the problems people associate with them come from outdated felt systems or poor installation, not the concept itself. Modern flat roofing systems, installed correctly, are reliable, low-maintenance and genuinely long-lasting.

We work with three main flat roofing systems: GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber membrane and reinforced felt. GRP is our most commonly specified system for domestic extensions and garage roofs in Cromer — it's seamless, highly resistant to ponding water, and carries a 25-year product guarantee. EPDM is an excellent choice for larger roof areas or roofs with more complex geometry, and modern reinforced felt systems are a cost-effective option where budget is the primary concern. We'll explain the differences and match the system to your building and budget.

Flat roofing looks straightforward but the details are what determine whether it lasts. Falls need to be set correctly so water runs to the outlet rather than pooling at the low point. Upstand heights, edge trims and penetrations — for pipes, rooflights or AC units — all need to be detailed properly, or that's where water will find a way in. A flat roof installed without proper attention to these points will start leaking within a few years regardless of how good the membrane itself is.

We survey the existing deck or new structure before specifying a system, and we install all flat roofs to current BS 6229 standards. New flat roof installations typically take one to three days depending on size and complexity. All our flat roof installations come with a workmanship guarantee alongside the manufacturer product warranty.

Flat roofs in Cromer typically cost between £70 and £120 per square metre installed, depending on the system chosen and access requirements.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cromer typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000. The final figure depends on the roof area, pitch angle, your choice of materials — natural slate costs more than concrete tiles — and how easy it is to access the property. We provide a free, itemised written quote so there are no surprises.
If you're having the same sections repaired repeatedly, if the felt underneath is visibly sagging or rotted, or if more than 20–25% of the tiles are cracked, slipped or missing, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective. We offer a free roof survey in Cromer and will give you an honest assessment — we won't recommend a replacement if a good repair will do the job.
Most standard roof repairs in Cromer — replacing a handful of slipped tiles, repointing ridge mortar or resealing a flashing — cost between £150 and £600. Jobs that require scaffolding, such as chimney repairs or work on a steeply pitched roof, will cost more. We'll assess the job first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Flat roofs in Cromer typically cost between £70 and £120 per square metre installed, so a standard single-garage roof of around 15–18 square metres would cost roughly £1,050 to £2,160. GRP fibreglass sits at the higher end of that range, reinforced felt at the lower end. We provide a free survey and written quote for all flat roofing work.
Fascia and soffit replacement in Cromer typically costs £80–£120 per linear metre for a full strip-and-replace using UPVC, including disposal of the old material. A standard semi-detached property usually runs to around £600–£1,000 for the full roofline. We provide a fixed written quote after inspecting the job, so you won't face unexpected extras.
The most common signs are a damp patch on the ceiling near a chimney breast or dormer window, particularly after heavy or wind-driven rain. You may also see the lead itself has lifted, cracked, or been patched with grey mastic or flashing tape. If a ceiling stain reappears after being replastered, there's a good chance the lead joint above it has never been properly addressed.
A partial chimney rebuild from the flashing line upwards on a standard terraced or semi-detached property in Cromer typically costs £800–£1,800, including new lead flashings and re-bedding the pots. A full rebuild down to roof level will cost more, depending on the height of the stack and the availability of matching brick. We provide a fixed price after inspecting from scaffold — never from the ground.
Chimney take-downs in Cromer typically cost £600–£1,400 for the full job, including scaffold, brick removal, making good the roof covering, and disposal of all material. The final price depends on how high the stack is above the roof line, the type of roof covering, and ease of access. We include everything in a single fixed price so there are no additions on the day.
