Our roof is carrstone town buildings — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. carrstone town buildings is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

Can you work on commercial premises around Bergen Way units?

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.

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.

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.

Do you actually cover Downham Market, or just the Norwich area?

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Downham Market is about 11 miles from King's Lynn, reached on the A10. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
