Why Norfolk roofs fail
Suburban housing and extensions.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
Slipped and cracked tiles
The most common call-out: a handful of tiles out of position letting water onto the felt below, often after a single windy night.
Chimney and abutment leaks
Cement fillets crack and let water track down the stack. Replacing them with properly sized lead is a permanent fix rather than a seasonal one.
Shared valleys and party walls
Terraced streets in Drayton share valleys and parapets, so a leak often starts next door. We inspect both slopes before quoting.
Materials and systems we use
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
- Matched replacement tiles and slates
- Sourced to match the existing covering so a repair does not leave a patchwork of colours across the slope.
- Gutter and downpipe repairs
- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.

Questions we get asked in Drayton
- Is it worth claiming on insurance?
- For storm damage, often yes. We provide photographs and a written description of the damage, which is what most insurers ask for. We don't handle the claim itself.
- Can you repair in bad weather?
- We can usually make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in poor weather, then complete the permanent repair once it's dry enough to work properly.
- Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
- We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older suburban semis an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- 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.
- Do we need permission from Broadland District 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.
