Our Acle roof is market-village housing, is that a problem?

Not at all, that is ordinary for Acle. Market-village housing is among the most common things we work on in Broadland District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.

How long does roof work in Acle take?

A repair in Acle is often the same day, while a full re-cover on a typical house here runs to a matter of days once scaffold is up, with indicative dates given on the quote and confirmed when the materials are ordered.

Can you work on commercial premises in Acle and around Acle livestock market?

Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Acle, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.

Do we need permission from Broadland District Council for a roof in Acle?

Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Acle can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.

Does the exposure around Acle change what you'd specify?

Yes. Out on the fen edge at Acle wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they would in a sheltered street.

Natural and fibre-cement slate: Fitted on period and conservation property in Acle, nailed with copper or stainless and detailed with lead soakers at every abutment.
Code-rated lead: Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Acle roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
EPDM rubber membrane: A single sheet of rubber for Acle extensions, dormers and garages, with no seams running across the field of the roof.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles: The traditional covering on older Acle roofs, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with sound tiles salvaged and the breakages matched.
