Materials and systems we use

EPDM rubber membrane
A single sheet of rubber for Coltishall extensions, dormers and garages, with no seams running across the field of the roof.
Torch-on felt systems
Multi-layer bitumen for the larger flats and outbuildings around Coltishall where a tough, easily repaired finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate
Fitted on period and conservation property in Coltishall, 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 Coltishall, clipped at verges and eaves where the exposure calls for it.

Questions we get asked in Coltishall

Will you patch our Coltishall roof, or push a full replacement?
Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Coltishall 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.
Does the exposure around Coltishall change what you'd specify?
Sometimes. Sheltered Coltishall streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold room or heavy moss growth all change how the work is approached.
How soon can someone look at a leak in Coltishall (NR12)?
Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Coltishall 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 Coltishall rather than given a fixed promise.
Do we need permission from Broadland District Council for a roof in Coltishall?
Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Coltishall can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
Our Coltishall roof is Georgian village houses, is that a problem?
Not at all, that is ordinary for Coltishall. Georgian village houses is among the most common things we work on in Broadland District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
