What's involved

Flat Roofing in North Walsham

Flat roofing is needed on single-storey extensions, garage roofs, bay window tops, and outbuildings — property types that are very common across North Walsham and the surrounding villages. A poorly installed flat roof will leak within a few years. A correctly installed modern system should last 20–25 years without major intervention.

We install three main types of flat roofing system. EPDM rubber membrane is a single-ply system that is glued in large sheets with very few joins, making it highly resistant to leaks. GRP fibreglass roofing is laid as a continuous moulded surface that is particularly durable and handles foot traffic well. High-performance torch-on felt is a lower-cost option that still outperforms traditional mineral felt by a significant margin. We'll talk through the pros and cons of each system for your specific situation — bay roofs, for example, benefit from EPDM due to the awkward angles, while flat garage roofs in exposed locations often suit GRP.

Flat roofs installed without proper falls — the slight slope that drains water off the surface — will pond water and fail early. We cut all new decking to create the correct drainage falls before applying any membrane. We also fit proper drip trims, outlets, and upstands where the roof meets a wall or parapet. These details are often where cheap flat roof jobs fail.

We survey the existing structure before quoting, replacing any rotten decking boards as part of the job. Most garage or small extension flat roofs in North Walsham can be completed in one to two days. We provide a written guarantee of 20 years on EPDM and GRP systems.

Flat roof installation in North Walsham typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, depending on the system chosen and the condition of the existing deck.

Questions

What people ask first.

For a standard semi-detached or detached house in North Walsham, a new roof typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000. The price depends on the size of the roof, the pitch, the materials chosen, and whether any structural timbers need replacing. We provide a full written, itemised quote after a free survey so there are no surprises.
If more than 25–30% of tiles or slates are damaged, if the felt underlay has broken down and water is getting into the roof space, or if you've had repeated leaks in different areas, replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We offer a free roof survey and will give you an honest assessment — we won't recommend a replacement if repairs are the right answer.
Minor repairs such as replacing a few slipped or broken tiles typically cost between £150 and £350 in North Walsham. More involved jobs like re-bedding ridge tiles along a full ridge, or replacing lead flashings around a chimney, usually range from £400 to £900. We always provide a written quote before starting so you know exactly what you'll pay.
Flat roof installation in North Walsham typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, depending on the system and the condition of the existing deck. A standard single-car garage roof of around 15 square metres would usually cost between £1,100 and £1,800 fully installed. We survey the existing structure before providing a written quote, so there are no surprises if the deck needs replacing.
For a typical three-bedroom semi-detached in North Walsham, replacing fascias, soffits, and guttering in uPVC usually costs between £900 and £1,800. The price depends on the size of the property, the number of downpipes, and whether any rafter feet need treating or replacing. We provide a fixed written quote before any work begins.
Replacing the lead flashing on a standard single chimney stack in North Walsham — including step flashings, cover flashings, and a back gutter — typically costs between £250 and £550. Larger or more complex stacks with multiple sides or decorative brickwork will sit toward the higher end. We quote on site after inspecting the stack so there are no surprises.
A chimney rebuild from the lead flashing level on a typical two-storey house in North Walsham costs between £1,200 and £2,500. The price depends on the height of the stack, how many flues it contains, and how much brickwork needs replacing. We provide a detailed written quote after inspecting the stack from scaffold or, where access allows, with binoculars from the ground first.
Taking down a chimney stack and making good the roof on a typical North Walsham property costs between £1,000 and £2,000. The price varies depending on the height of the stack, the number of flues, and the size of the roof area that needs tiling or slating back in. We include scaffold erection and full debris removal in all our quotes.
