Do we need permission from South Norfolk Council?

Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.

Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?

Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.

Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.

Do you actually cover Diss, or just the Norwich area?

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Diss is about 21 miles from Norwich, reached on the A140. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.

Common roof problems around Diss

Market-town period roofs and surrounding village housing.

Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on timber-framed period buildings, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Diss call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
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.

Specification options

Code-rated lead: Correctly sized lead for flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work, rather than cement fillets.
EPDM rubber membrane: Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for larger flats and outbuildings where a robust, repairable finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
