Our working method
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.

Typical jobs on Victorian terraces
Victorian terraces, seafront properties and salt-laden winds.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around NR27, so we specify stainless or non-ferrous where they will be exposed.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On Victorian terraces it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Blocked or split valleys
Debris and moss dam a valley and push water sideways under the tiles, producing a leak metres from the actual fault.
Practical answers before you book
- Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
- We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older Victorian terraces an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- 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.
- 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.
- What does a roof repairs & leaks quote in Cromer 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.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in NR27?
- 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.
Coverings suited to Cromer
- 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.
- Matched replacement tiles and slates
- Sourced to match the existing covering so a repair does not leave a patchwork of colours across the slope.
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.
