Larke's Roofs, East Anglia roofing experts
Roof repairs

Looking for roof repair near you in Norfolk?

We are an independent roofing firm based at 41 The Street in Costessey, a few minutes from Norwich, working across Norfolk and the wider East Anglia region. Repairs are what we are called out for most: a stain on a bedroom ceiling, a tile on the lawn after a gale, a flat roof that has started dripping over the kitchen.

Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 17:00. Emergency call-out available 24/7.

The repair work we genuinely take on

Everything below is handled in-house by our own team, on pitched roofs, flat roofs and commercial buildings alike.

Pitched tile and pantile repairs

Slipped, cracked and missing tiles refixed or replaced, ridge and hip repointing, verge repairs and dry-fix systems where the old mortar has had its day.

See the service

Slate and heritage repairs

Natural slate made good with matching material and proper fixings, including work on period and conservation-area roofs where the detailing matters.

See the service

Flat roof repairs

EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt repaired at the seams, trims, upstands and outlets where flat roofs usually let go first.

See the service

Leadwork, flashings and valleys

Chimney abutments, valleys and bay and dormer detailing put right with hand-dressed lead rather than a smear of sealant.

Storm and wind damage

Blown-off tiles, lifted ridges and torn coverings made weathertight, with the permanent repair scheduled around you.

Commercial and agricultural repairs

Shops, offices, workshops, farm buildings and industrial units, from gutter and rainwater works to planned and reactive repairs.

What a repair visit involves

No mystery, no pressure, no surprise invoice.

  1. 1
    You tell us what you can see
    A photo of the ceiling stain or the roof from the ground usually saves a trip.
  2. 2
    We get eyes on the actual fault
    Leaks rarely start where they show up inside, so we trace the water back to its source.
  3. 3
    You get the findings in plain English
    What is wrong, what caused it, and whether it is a repair or something bigger.
  4. 4
    A free written quote follows
    Every material, every stage, every price, in writing, with no obligation to go ahead.

Insurance work and reports

Where damage may be a claim rather than a bill, we carry out insurance and pre-purchase inspections and produce insurance-friendly reports setting out what we found. You keep the report and deal with your insurer directly.

  • Free inspection before anything is quoted
  • Detailed written quotes, every material and stage priced
  • Workmanship guarantees backed in writing before we start
  • Fully insured, public and employers' liability, certificates on request

How near is near?

Norfolk is home, and Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are on the round. If your postcode is not on the list, ask, we probably still cover you.

Questions we get asked on the phone

Do you charge for looking at the roof?
No. Inspections are free, and so is the written quotation that follows. If a repair will do the job, we will say so rather than push a replacement.
How close to me do you actually work?
We are based at 41 The Street, Costessey, Norwich. Norfolk is our home patch, and Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are on the round. If your postcode is not listed on our areas page, ask, we probably still cover you.
Can you come out if the roof is leaking right now?
Yes. Our normal working hours are Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 17:00, and we run an emergency call-out service 24/7 on 07437 005301.
Will you repair one tile, or is there a minimum job?
We take on everything from a single slipped tile to a full section of roof. The work is done by our own team rather than passed on.
Can you help with an insurance claim?
We carry out insurance and pre-purchase inspections and provide insurance-friendly reports on what we find, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is the repair covered by anything afterwards?
Our workmanship guarantees are backed in writing before work starts, and we are fully insured with public and employers' liability cover, certificates on request.
