St Nicholas church anchors this part of Dersingham, and the properties around it are the ones we are called to most.

Typical jobs on carrstone and brick cottages

Village housing, estate cottages and outbuildings.

  • Split and blistered felt

    Old bitumen felt on Dersingham extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

  • Access near St Nicholas church

    Scaffold, unloading and parking around St Nicholas church are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.

  • Roof-light degradation

    GRP roof-lights on Dersingham units go brittle and crack, which is a leak and a safety problem at once for anyone who has to get on the roof.

  • Properties around the Sandringham Estate

    The buildings closest to the Sandringham Estate 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 Dersingham Bog reserve.

Coverings suited to Dersingham

EPDM rubber membrane
A single sheet of rubber for Dersingham extensions, dormers and garages, with no seams running across the field of the roof.
Code-rated lead
Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Dersingham roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles
The traditional covering on older Dersingham roofs, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with sound tiles salvaged and the breakages matched.
Concrete interlocking tiles
The usual covering on post-war and modern housing around Dersingham, clipped at verges and eaves where the exposure calls for it.

Practical answers before you book

How soon can someone look at a leak in Dersingham (PE31)?
Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Dersingham 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 Dersingham rather than given a fixed promise.
Our Dersingham roof is carrstone and brick cottages, is that a problem?
Not at all, that is ordinary for Dersingham. Carrstone and brick cottages is among the most common things we work on in King's Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
Where do you park the van and set up scaffold in Dersingham?
That gets agreed with you before anyone sets off for Dersingham. Around St Nicholas church the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
Can you work on commercial premises in Dersingham and around Sandringham estate buildings?
Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Dersingham, 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 clear up afterwards in Dersingham?
Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Dersingham address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
