New roofs and full re-roofs in Acle
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Acle via the A47 Acle Straight, about 10 miles from Great Yarmouth. That matters for roof replacement & new roofs: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on market-village housing and farm buildings.

What happens after you call
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Acle.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly — any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Specification options
- Fascia, soffit and rainwater goods
- Renewed at the same time where they are rotten, because access is already paid for by the scaffold.
- Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge
- Mechanically fixed systems that do not depend on mortar — the single biggest durability upgrade on an exposed re-roof.
- Breather membrane and battens
- Graded battens and a vapour-permeable membrane replace the old bitumen felt, which is the part of a re-roof nobody sees and everybody relies on.
- Eaves and ridge ventilation
- Ventilation paths added during the re-cover so the roof space stays dry once it is closed up.
Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- Will you need scaffold on a Acle property?
- For a full re-cover, yes — it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Can we keep the existing tiles?
- Sometimes. Clay pantiles and natural slate often survive a strip and can be re-laid with new ones making up breakages. Concrete tiles past their life usually aren't worth salvaging.
- What does a roof replacement & new roofs quote in Acle cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
- 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.
