New roofs and full re-roofs in Ashby St Mary
Ashby St Mary sits about 8 miles from Norwich, reached off the A146, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the NR14 postcode district jobs involve village housing and large agricultural roofs, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting. We know the streets around St Mary's church well, and the Chet valley lanes is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Common roof problems around Ashby St Mary
Village housing and agricultural roofs.
Properties around St Mary's church
The buildings closest to St Mary's church take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to the Chet valley lanes.
Access near the Chet valley lanes
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the Chet valley lanes are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt below the tiles has torn or gone brittle, water reaching it runs straight into the loft. That is the point where re-covering beats another patch.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Ashby St Mary call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.

Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- Will you need scaffold on a Ashby St Mary 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.
- 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 happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold here?
- We agree that with you first. Around the Chet valley lanes the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
- 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.
