Leak and storm damage repairs in Bergh Apton

Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs

Will the repair match the rest of the roof?

We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older period cottages an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.

The leak appears in one room — is that where the hole is?

Rarely. Water runs along battens and rafters before it drops. We trace it back to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot above the stain.

Is it worth claiming on insurance?

For storm damage, often yes. We provide photographs and a written description of the damage, which is what most insurers ask for. We don't handle the claim itself.

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.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
