Our roof is market-village housing — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. market-village housing is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

How long will the work take?

A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.

Can you work on commercial premises around Acle livestock market?

Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.

Do we need permission from Broadland District Council?

Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.

Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Yes. Open fen exposure means wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they might in a sheltered street.

Materials and systems we use

Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
Code-rated lead: Correctly sized lead for flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work, rather than cement fillets.
EPDM rubber membrane: Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles: Traditional coverings common across East Anglia; re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with matched replacements where tiles are salvageable.
