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

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Drayton is about 5 miles from Norwich, reached on the A1067. Work in Drayton is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.

What does a roofing quote in Drayton cost?

Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Drayton are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Drayton address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.

Our Drayton roof is suburban semis, is that a problem?

Not at all, that is ordinary for Drayton. Suburban semis is among the most common things we work on in Broadland District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.

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

Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Drayton 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.

How soon can someone look at a leak in Drayton (NR8)?

Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Drayton 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 Drayton rather than given a fixed promise.

Why Norfolk roofs fail

Suburban housing and extensions.

Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt under the tiles has torn or gone brittle, anything getting past a tile runs straight into the loft, and that is the point at which re-covering a Drayton roof beats another patch.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs over Drayton extensions, porches and garages make up a large share of the work here and are usually quoted with the main roof.
Restricted access and scaffold
Narrow frontages and parking pressure across NR8 mean scaffold design and permits are planned in advance, not on the morning.
Chimney and abutment leaks
Cement fillets on suburban semis crack and let water track down the stack, and replacing them with correctly coded lead is the permanent answer rather than a seasonal one.

Materials and systems we use

Clay pantiles and plain tiles: The traditional covering on older Drayton roofs, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with sound tiles salvaged and the breakages matched.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for the larger flats and outbuildings around Drayton where a tough, easily repaired finish suits the budget.
Concrete interlocking tiles: The usual covering on post-war and modern housing around Drayton, clipped at verges and eaves where the exposure calls for it.
Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge: Mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that carry no mortar, a sensible upgrade on the more exposed roofs around Drayton.
