What's involved

Flat Roofing in Fakenham

Flat roofing covers a wide range of buildings in the Fakenham area — rear kitchen or dining room extensions, garages, barn conversions, and commercial premises. Older felt flat roofs typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, but the EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems we install today are rated for 25 to 50 years with virtually no maintenance required.

For a new flat roof or a replacement, we first strip back the existing covering and inspect the roof deck — usually timber decking or concrete. Any rotten or damaged boards are replaced before the new system goes on. We then install either EPDM rubber membrane, bonded in a single sheet with no seams across most standard extension roofs, or GRP fibreglass, which is laid wet and cures to a rigid, seamless surface. Both systems are fully waterproof, UV-stable, and suited to the North Norfolk climate. We also install code 4 and code 5 lead for traditional details, bay window tops, and porches.

Old felt flat roofs are one of the most common sources of water ingress we see on properties in Fakenham. Felt degrades quickly under UV exposure and thermal movement, and small blisters or cracks can allow significant water penetration before the damage becomes visible internally. Replacing a failed felt roof with a modern system is nearly always more cost-effective than repeated felt repairs.

We carry out a free survey, provide a written quote within 48 hours, and most domestic flat roofs are completed in one to two days. All our flat roofing work carries a 20-year manufacturer-backed guarantee on the membrane, in addition to our own workmanship warranty.

Flat roof replacement on a standard single-storey extension in Fakenham typically costs between £900 and £2,500 depending on the area, system chosen, and deck condition.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fakenham ranges from £6,000 to £12,000. The final price depends on the roof area, pitch, access, and whether you choose concrete tiles, clay tiles, or natural slate. We provide a fixed written quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
If you're having the same leaks return within a season, seeing multiple cracked or slipping tiles across different areas, or there is felt hanging down in your loft, a full replacement is usually the more cost-effective route. A repair makes sense when the damage is isolated — one or two tiles, a small section of flashing. We always inspect first and give you an honest recommendation.
A straightforward repair such as replacing a few slipped tiles or repointing a section of ridge typically costs between £150 and £500 in the Fakenham area. More involved repairs — re-flashing a chimney, fixing a valley, or repairing storm damage across a larger area — can range from £400 to £900 or more. We always quote before starting any work.
A flat roof replacement on a typical single-storey rear extension in Fakenham costs between £900 and £2,500. The price depends on the roof area, the system chosen (EPDM or GRP), and the condition of the existing deck. A garage roof of around 20 square metres in EPDM would usually fall in the £900 to £1,400 range. We provide written quotes after a free survey.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fakenham, fascia and soffit replacement including new guttering typically costs between £900 and £1,600. Larger detached properties or those needing scaffold rather than ladders will sit at the higher end. We give a fixed price after a free survey so there are no surprises.
Replacing lead flashing around a chimney stack in Fakenham typically costs between £250 and £600, depending on how many faces need new lead and whether any masonry repointing is required at the same time. A full lead valley replacement on a larger roof will cost more — we'll give you a firm price after inspecting the roof.
A full chimney rebuild on a standard domestic property in Fakenham typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. The main variables are how high the stack is, how much brickwork needs to come down and be rebuilt, and whether scaffold needs to be hired for multiple days. We provide a fixed written quote after a free inspection.
A chimney take-down and roof make-good on a standard residential property in Fakenham typically costs between £800 and £1,800. The price depends on the height of the stack, how many pots are present, and the complexity of the tile matching required. We provide a fixed written quote after a free inspection so you know the full cost upfront.
