Leak tracing and repair, slipped and broken tiles, storm damage, ridge repointing, flashings and valleys — from single tiles to full sections. In Costessey that usually means working on 1970s–2000s estates and bungalows, alongside commercial jobs around Longwater retail and trade park.

Typical jobs on 1970s–2000s estates
Our home patch — estates, bungalows and extensions.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
Properties around Costessey Park
The buildings closest to Costessey Park take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to the River Tud meadows.
Access near Longwater
Scaffold, unloading and parking around Longwater are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Restricted access and scaffold
Narrow frontages and parking pressure across NR5 mean scaffold design and permits are planned in advance, not on the morning.
Coverings suited to Costessey
- Valley liners
- GRP or lead valley liners where the original has split or corroded through.
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
- Repointing and re-bedding
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
- Gutter and downpipe repairs
- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.

Practical answers before you book
- Is it worth claiming on insurance?
- For storm damage, often yes. We provide photographs and a written description of the damage, which is what most insurers ask for. We don't handle the claim itself.
- 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 Costessey?
- 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.
- Our roof is 1970s–2000s estates — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. 1970s–2000s estates 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.

Next steps in Costessey
In terraced streets the fault is often in a shared valley or a neighbour's slope — worth knowing before you assume the whole roof is finished. Bungalows nearby get the same treatment: see the roof, price it in writing, then book it.
