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.

Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.

How soon can someone look at a leak in NR12?

Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.

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.

Our roof is Georgian village houses — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. Georgian village houses is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

Coltishall roofing services

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Coltishall via the B1150, about 9 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 village houses and ex-service estate housing.

Where else we work from Coltishall

Most weeks we are somewhere between Coltishall and Belaugh, which is why a free inspection here does not need to wait for a run of work to build up. Postcodes covered locally: NR12.

Frequently working in and around former RAF Coltishall site, village businesses.

Materials and systems we use

EPDM rubber membrane: Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for larger flats and outbuildings where a robust, repairable finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
Concrete interlocking tiles: The standard on post-war and modern estates. Clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
