Typical jobs on village cottages

Village homes and farm buildings on the Tiffey.

  • Properties around Barford Lakes

    The buildings closest to Barford Lakes 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 St Botolph's church.

  • Split and blistered felt

    Old bitumen felt on Barford extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

  • Outbuildings and farm structures

    Barns, stores and stables around Barford are quoted alongside the house so a single visit covers the whole holding.

  • Roof-light degradation

    GRP roof-lights on Barford units go brittle and crack, which is a leak and a safety problem at once for anyone who has to get on the roof.

Our working method

  1. Inspection first

    Nothing on a Barford roof is priced before somebody has been on it or had a ladder over it.

  2. Honest recommendation

    If a repair on the Barford roof will hold, that is what you'll be told, and if the covering is finished you get the reason for it rather than an endless run of patches.

  3. Specification in writing

    Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed on the Barford quote, so prices from other Norfolk firms can be compared against it properly.

  4. Clean handover

    Scaffold struck, gutters cleared and the Barford site tidied before an invoice goes out.

What you can expect from us

  • Domestic and commercial

    From a single slipped tile in Barford to village businesses, quoted on the same basis.

  • Independent, Costessey based

    We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Barford ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.

  • Written specifications

    Every Barford quote states the materials and the detailing, so what is included is visible line by line.

If you're just outside Barford, Wymondham, Marlingford and Hethersett or the villages between them, it's the same service and the same free inspection. Journey time from our Costessey yard out to Barford is about 8 minutes on a normal day.

Practical answers before you book

Do we need permission from South Norfolk District Council for a roof in Barford?
Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Barford can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
Do you clear up afterwards in Barford?
Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Barford address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
Do you cover the streets near Barford Lakes?
Yes, Barford Lakes and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is St Botolph's church. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Barford, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
Can you work on commercial premises in Barford and around village businesses?
Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Barford, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
What does a roofing quote in Barford cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Barford are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Barford address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
