Leak and storm damage repairs in Gorleston
Gorleston sits about 2 miles from Great Yarmouth, reached off the A12, and that position shapes the roof repairs & leaks we do here. Most of our the NR31 postcode district jobs involve Edwardian terraces and clifftop bungalows, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Why customers in Gorleston call us
Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Gorleston ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
Repair when a repair will do
We'd rather do a £-hundred repair honestly than sell a re-roof that isn't needed yet.
Common roof problems around Gorleston
Coastal terraces and bungalows.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On Edwardian terraces it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Blocked or split valleys
Debris and moss dam a valley and push water sideways under the tiles, producing a leak metres from the actual fault.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around NR31, so we specify stainless or non-ferrous where they will be exposed.

What happens after you call
Find the actual source
Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.
Make safe
If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.
Repair with matched materials
Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.
Tell you what's next
If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.
Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs
- How quickly can you get to Gorleston?
- We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks. Call 07437 005301 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we can't keep.
- The leak appears in one room — is that where the hole is?
- Rarely. Water runs along battens and rafters before it drops. We trace it back to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot above the stain.
- Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
- We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older Edwardian terraces 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.
- What does a roof repairs & leaks quote in Gorleston cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
