New roofs and full re-roofs in Coltishall
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Coltishall via the B1150, about 9 miles from Norwich. That matters for roof replacement & new roofs: 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
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Coltishall.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly — any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Specification options
- Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge
- Mechanically fixed systems that do not depend on mortar — the single biggest durability upgrade on an exposed re-roof.
- Breather membrane and battens
- Graded battens and a vapour-permeable membrane replace the old bitumen felt, which is the part of a re-roof nobody sees and everybody relies on.
- Fascia, soffit and rainwater goods
- Renewed at the same time where they are rotten, because access is already paid for by the scaffold.
- Concrete interlocking tiles
- The standard on post-war and modern estates — quicker to lay, heavier, and clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Can we keep the existing tiles?
- Sometimes. Clay pantiles and natural slate often survive a strip and can be re-laid with new ones making up breakages. Concrete tiles past their life usually aren't worth salvaging.
- How disruptive is a re-roof?
- Noisy for a few days and dusty in the loft, but you can stay in the house. Roofs are left weathertight overnight and we work around agreed hours.
- 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.
- 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.
