Cromer re-roofing specialists
With seafront hotels on the doorstep, Cromer gives us a mix of domestic and light commercial roofs. Our roof replacement & new roofs covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

What Cromer roofs typically need
Victorian terraces, seafront properties and salt-laden winds.
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.
Batten decay and nail fatigue
Softwood battens and the nails holding the covering are the usual reason an otherwise sound-looking roof starts shedding tiles.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards Sheringham side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.
The work, step by step
Full strip-and-recover re-roofs and new roof installations — tiles or slate, new battens, breather membrane, ventilation and fixings to current standards.
- Full strip and re-roof
- Tile, slate and pantile coverings
- New battens, membrane and ventilation
- Ridge, hip and verge dry-fix systems
From first call to finished roof
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Cromer.
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.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
Local knowledge
North Norfolk District Council area work, the NR27 postcode district — we know the building types and what tends to fail on them.
Fixed written specification
Membrane grade, batten size, fixing pattern and ridge system are all named in the quote.

Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Norfolk quotes can be judged against it properly.
Nearby villages and towns
Neighbouring Sheringham, Mundesley, North Walsham and Holt come under the same North Norfolk District Council patch, so there is no extra travel charge for roof replacement & new roofs there. Roof Replacement & New Roofs enquiries here are handled the same way. That includes commercial premises around seafront hotels.
Frequently working in and around seafront hotels, Church Street shops.
Cromer roofing questions
- 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.
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- Will you need scaffold on a Cromer property?
- For a full re-cover, yes — it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- 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.
- Can you work on commercial premises around seafront hotels?
- 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.

On Victorian terraces the salvage question matters: clay and natural slate often survive a strip and go back down; tired concrete tiles rarely justify it. We decide that with you on the roof, not in the office. NR27 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in North Norfolk District Council.
