Typical jobs on 1970s-2000s estates
Our home patch, estates, bungalows and extensions.
Roof-light degradation
GRP roof-lights on Costessey units go brittle and crack, which is a leak and a safety problem at once for anyone who has to get on 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 on Costessey extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

Our working method
Inspection first
Nothing on a Costessey roof is priced before somebody has been on it or had a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair on the Costessey roof will hold, that is what you'll be told, and if the covering is finished you get the reason for it rather than an endless run of patches.
Specification in writing
Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed on the Costessey quote, so prices from other Norfolk firms can be compared against it properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared and the Costessey site tidied before an invoice goes out.
What you can expect from us
Written specifications
Every Costessey quote states the materials and the detailing, so what is included is visible line by line.

Practical answers before you book
- Can you work on commercial premises in Costessey and around Longwater retail and trade park?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Costessey, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better 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. Work in Costessey is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Costessey (NR5)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Costessey 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 Costessey rather than given a fixed promise.
- Do we need permission from South Norfolk Council for a roof in Costessey?
- Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Costessey can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
- How long does roof work in Costessey take?
- A repair in Costessey is often the same day, while a full re-cover on a typical house here runs to a matter of days once scaffold is up, with indicative dates given on the quote and confirmed when the materials are ordered.
