Hethersett roofing services
With village centre shops on the doorstep, Hethersett gives us a mix of family homes, bungalows and extensions. Our roofing work covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way. We know the streets around Hethersett Academy well, and Kett's Oak on the B1172 is a useful marker when we arrange access.

What Hethersett roofs typically need
Modern estates alongside older village properties.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on new-build estates with concrete interlocking tiles, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Properties around Hethersett Academy
The buildings closest to Hethersett Academy take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to Kett's Oak on the B1172.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Hethersett call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Ponding water
Flats laid without enough fall hold water for days, which shortens the life of any membrane. Falls and outlet positions get reset, not covered over.

The work, step by step
We cover pitched roofing, flat roofs, repairs and commercial work across Hethersett and the surrounding Norfolk area.

From first call to finished roof
Inspection first
Nothing is priced before someone has been on the roof or a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the covering is finished, we explain why rather than patching indefinitely.
Specification in writing
Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed, so quotes from other Norfolk firms can be compared properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared, and the site tidied before we invoice.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Emergency call-out
We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for leaks and storm damage — call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Hethersett ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Want a written quote you can compare?
Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Norfolk quotes can be judged against it properly.
Nearby villages and towns
Neighbouring Wymondham, Norwich, Mattishall and Long Stratton come under the same South Norfolk Council patch, so there is no extra travel charge for roof work there. That includes commercial premises around village centre shops.

Hethersett roofing questions
- Do you cover the streets near Hethersett Academy?
- Yes — Hethersett Academy and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is Kett's Oak on the B1172. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Hethersett, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in NR9?
- 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.
- Do we need permission from South Norfolk 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.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
- 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.
Book a free inspection
Hethersett is about 6 miles from Norwich, well inside our normal working area. Whether it's a single slipped tile or a full re-cover, the process is the same — see it, price it in writing, then book it. We run in on the A11, usually within a few days of your call — sooner if water is coming in.
