Roofers in Hickling
Hickling sits about 5 miles from Stalham, reached off the B1159, and that position shapes the roofing work we do here. Most of our the NR12 postcode district jobs involve pantiled village cottages and exposed bungalows, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting. We know the streets around Hickling Broad nature reserve well, and Hickling Staithe is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Properties around Hickling Broad nature reserve

Mismatched previous repairs
Layers of odd tiles and cement patching on pantiled village cottages in Hickling add weight and trap water, so a strip and re-cover puts one consistent system back on.
Access near Hickling Staithe
Scaffold, unloading and parking around Hickling Staithe are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Large-span farm and unit roofs
Sheeted roofs over the barns and packhouses around staithe businesses need sheet, fixing and gutter-line inspection rather than tile-by-tile repair.

roofing FAQs
- Do we need permission from North Norfolk District Council for a roof in Hickling?
- Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Hickling can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
- Will you patch our Hickling roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Hickling property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Hickling (NR12)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Hickling is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Hickling rather than given a fixed promise.
- Do you actually cover Hickling, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Hickling is about 5 miles from Stalham, reached on the B1159. Work in Hickling is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
- Does the exposure around Hickling change what you'd specify?
- Yes. Out on the fen edge at Hickling wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they would in a sheltered street.
