Batten decay and nail fatigue
Softwood battens and tired nails are the usual reason an otherwise sound-looking roof in Easton starts shedding tiles a few at a time.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished, common on college and farm buildings, patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.

Our working method
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Easton.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly, any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Practical answers before you book
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Can we keep the existing tiles?
- Sometimes. Clay pantiles and natural slate often survive a strip and can be re-laid with new ones making up breakages. Concrete tiles past their life usually aren't worth salvaging.
- Our Easton roof is modern estate housing, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Easton. Modern estate housing is among the most common things we work on in South Norfolk District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
- Will you patch our Easton roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Easton 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.
Next steps in Easton
A re-cover is decided underneath the tiles, not from the pavement. If the felt and battens on your Easton roof have gone, we'll show you; if they haven't, we'll say so and quote the repair instead. Easton addresses in NR9 are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in South Norfolk District Council.
