Hethersett roof repair service
Leak tracing and repair, slipped and broken tiles, storm damage, ridge repointing, flashings and valleys — from single tiles to full sections. In Hethersett that usually means working on new-build estates with concrete interlocking tiles and older village cottages, alongside commercial jobs around village centre shops. South Norfolk Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start. Kett's Oak on the B1172 anchors this part of Hethersett, and the properties around it are the ones we are called to most.

What Hethersett roofs typically need
Modern estates alongside older village properties.
Chimney and abutment leaks
Cement fillets crack and let water track down the stack. Replacing them with properly sized lead is a permanent fix rather than a seasonal one.
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.
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.
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.
What goes on the roof
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.
- Repointing and re-bedding
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
- Gutter and downpipe repairs
- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.

Hethersett roofing questions
- 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.
- How quickly can you get to Hethersett?
- 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.
- 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.
- Our roof is new-build estates with concrete interlocking tiles — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. new-build estates with concrete interlocking tiles is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.
- Can you work on commercial premises around village centre shops?
- Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
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.
Repair when a repair will do
We'd rather do a £-hundred repair honestly than sell a re-roof that isn't needed yet.
