Can you work on commercial premises around Longwater retail and trade park?

Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.

Do you actually cover Costessey, or just the Norwich area?

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Costessey is about 4 miles from Norwich, reached on the A47. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.

How soon can someone look at a leak in NR5?

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 South Norfolk 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.

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.

Typical jobs on 1970s–2000s estates

Our home patch — estates, bungalows and extensions.

Roof-light degradation
GRP roof-lights go brittle and crack, which is both a leak and a safety issue for anyone accessing the roof.
Restricted access and scaffold
Narrow frontages and parking pressure across NR5 mean scaffold design and permits are planned in advance, not on the morning.
Rear-addition and outrigger roofs
The back additions on 1970s–2000s estates carry awkward little roofs that are frequently the actual source of a leak in the South Norfolk Council stock.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.

Our working method

Inspection first
Nothing is priced before someone has been on the roof or a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the covering is finished, we explain why rather than patching indefinitely.
Specification in writing
Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed, so quotes from other Norfolk firms can be compared properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared, and the site tidied before we invoice.

What you can expect from us

Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Costessey ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
