Do we need permission from South Norfolk Council for a roof in Diss?

Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Diss can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.

Will you patch our Diss roof, or push a full replacement?

Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Diss property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.

Does the exposure around Diss change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered Diss streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold room or heavy moss growth all change how the work is approached.

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. Work in Diss is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.

Do you clear up afterwards in Diss?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Diss address and gutters are 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 ends up costing more than clearing them in Diss would have.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Diss are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and 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 Diss valley and push water sideways under the tiles, producing a stain metres away from the actual fault.

Specification options

Code-rated lead: Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Diss roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
EPDM rubber membrane: A single sheet of rubber for Diss extensions, dormers and garages, with no seams running across the field of the roof.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for the larger flats and outbuildings around Diss where a tough, easily repaired finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Fitted on period and conservation property in Diss, nailed with copper or stainless and detailed with lead soakers at every abutment.
