Do we need permission from South Norfolk 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.

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.

How soon can someone look at a leak in NR14?

Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.

Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.

Do you actually cover Ashby St Mary, or just the Norwich area?

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Ashby St Mary is about 8 miles from Norwich, reached on the A146. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.

Ashby St Mary roofing services

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Ashby St Mary via the A146, about 8 miles from Norwich. That matters for roofing work: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on village housing and large agricultural roofs. Jobs here are often within sight of St Mary's church, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.
