Leak and storm damage repairs in Hainford

Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs

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.

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.

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.

Where do you park the van and set up scaffold here?

We agree that with you first. Around the Stratton Strawless woods the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.

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.
