How soon can someone look at a leak in NR6?

Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.

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.

How long will the work take?

A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.

Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.

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.

Typical jobs on interwar and post-war housing

Interwar and post-war housing stock.

Roof-light degradation
GRP roof-lights go brittle and crack, which is both a leak and a safety issue for anyone accessing the roof.
Ageing slate and lead
Nail fatigue in original slate and split lead gutters accounts for a large share of leaks on interwar and post-war housing.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
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.

Coverings suited to Hellesdon

Concrete interlocking tiles: The standard on post-war and modern estates. Clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for larger flats and outbuildings where a robust, repairable finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles: Traditional coverings common across East Anglia; re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with matched replacements where tiles are salvageable.
