Materials and systems we use

Natural and fibre-cement slate
Fitted on period and conservation property in Caister-on-Sea, 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 Caister-on-Sea, clipped at verges and eaves where the exposure calls for it.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles
The traditional covering on older Caister-on-Sea roofs, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with sound tiles salvaged and the breakages matched.
Torch-on felt systems
Multi-layer bitumen for the larger flats and outbuildings around Caister-on-Sea where a tough, easily repaired finish suits the budget.

Questions we get asked in Caister-on-Sea

Does the coastal weather at Caister-on-Sea change what you'd specify?
Yes. On the coast at Caister-on-Sea we lean towards stainless or non-ferrous fixings, dry-fix ridge and verge systems and heavier flashing details, because salt and wind shorten the life of standard mortar-bedded work.
Can you work on commercial premises in Caister-on-Sea and around holiday parks?
Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Caister-on-Sea, 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.
Do you actually cover Caister-on-Sea, or just the Norwich area?
We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Caister-on-Sea is about 3 miles from Great Yarmouth, reached on the A149. Work in Caister-on-Sea is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
Will you patch our Caister-on-Sea roof, or push a full replacement?
Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Caister-on-Sea property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
What does a roofing quote in Caister-on-Sea cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Caister-on-Sea are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Caister-on-Sea address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
