Holt roofing services

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Holt via the A148, about 22 miles from Norwich. That matters for roofing work: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on Georgian townhouses and conservation-area slate.

How a Holt job runs

  1. Talk it through

    A short call establishes property type, age and access — often enough to say what's likely before we arrive.

  2. On-site survey

    We check the deck, battens and detailing, not only the visible covering.

  3. Options, not one price

    Where there's a repair route and a replacement route, you get both with the trade-offs explained.

  4. Work scheduled around you

    Dates confirmed in advance and kept to where weather allows.

Where else we work from Holt

Most weeks we are somewhere between Holt and Blakeney, which is why a free inspection here does not need to wait for a run of work to build up. Postcodes covered locally: NR25.

Frequently working in and around Georgian high-street shops, Gresham's School buildings.

Materials and systems we use

Concrete interlocking tiles
The standard on post-war and modern estates. Clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
Natural and fibre-cement slate
Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
EPDM rubber membrane
Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Torch-on felt systems
Multi-layer bitumen for larger flats and outbuildings where a robust, repairable finish suits the budget.

Questions we get asked in Holt

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 soon can someone look at a leak in NR25?
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.
What does a roofing quote in Holt cost?
The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
Do we need permission from North Norfolk 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.
Do you actually cover Holt, or just the Norwich area?
We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Holt is about 22 miles from Norwich, reached on the A148. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
