Roof repairs and replacement in Aylsham

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Aylsham via the A140, about 13 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 Georgian market-town frontages with natural slate and Victorian brick terraces. Jobs here are often within sight of the Blickling Estate, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.

What happens after you call

  1. Talk it through

    A short call establishes property type, age and access — often enough to say what's likely before we arrive.

  2. On-site survey

    We check the deck, battens and detailing, not only the visible covering.

  3. Options, not one price

    Where there's a repair route and a replacement route, you get both with the trade-offs explained.

  4. Work scheduled around you

    Dates confirmed in advance and kept to where weather allows.

Specification options

EPDM rubber membrane
Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Concrete interlocking tiles
The standard on post-war and modern estates. Clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
Code-rated lead
Correctly sized lead for flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work, rather than cement fillets.
Natural and fibre-cement slate
Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.

roofing FAQs

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.
What does a roofing quote in Aylsham 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.
Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
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.
