Leak and storm damage repairs in Coltishall
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Coltishall via the B1150, about 9 miles from Norwich. That matters for roof repairs & leaks: 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.

What happens after you call
Find the actual source
Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.
Make safe
If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.
Repair with matched materials
Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.
Tell you what's next
If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.

Specification options
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.
- Gutter and downpipe repairs
- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
- Repointing and re-bedding
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs
- Can you repair in bad weather?
- We can usually make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in poor weather, then complete the permanent repair once it's dry enough to work properly.
- 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.
- How quickly can you get to Coltishall?
- We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks. Call 07437 005301 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we can't keep.
- How long will the work take?
- A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.
- What does a roof repairs & leaks quote in Coltishall cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
