What Bawburgh roofs typically need
Flint and brick cottages in the Yare valley.
Overhanging trees
Leaf fall from the trees along the valley fills gutters and valleys across NR9, which around Bawburgh is a maintenance issue long before it becomes a roofing one.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on flint-and-brick cottages around Bawburgh, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.
Properties around St Walstan's well
The buildings closest to St Walstan's well 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 Yare ford at Bawburgh.
Ponding water
Flats laid with too little fall around Bawburgh hold water for days on end, which shortens the life of any membrane, so falls and outlet positions get reset rather than covered over.
What goes on the roof
- Natural and fibre-cement slate
- Fitted on period and conservation property in Bawburgh, nailed with copper or stainless and detailed with lead soakers at every abutment.
- Concrete interlocking tiles
- The usual covering on post-war and modern housing around Bawburgh, clipped at verges and eaves where the exposure calls for it.
- Code-rated lead
- Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Bawburgh roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
- Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge
- Mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that carry no mortar, a sensible upgrade on the more exposed roofs around Bawburgh.

Bawburgh roofing questions
- Does the exposure around Bawburgh change what you'd specify?
- Sometimes. Sheltered Bawburgh streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold room or heavy moss growth all change how the work is approached.
- Do you actually cover Bawburgh, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Bawburgh is about 5 miles from Norwich, reached on the A47. Work in Bawburgh is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Bawburgh (NR9)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Bawburgh is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Bawburgh rather than given a fixed promise.
- How long does roof work in Bawburgh take?
- A repair in Bawburgh is often the same day, while a full re-cover on a typical house here runs to a matter of days once scaffold is up, with indicative dates given on the quote and confirmed when the materials are ordered.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold in Bawburgh?
- That gets agreed with you before anyone sets off for Bawburgh. Around the Yare ford at Bawburgh the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
