Roof repairs and replacement in Horning
Horning sits about 4 miles from Wroxham, reached off the A1062, and that position shapes the roofing work we do here. Most of our the NR12 postcode district jobs involve riverside lodges and boathouses and chalet-style homes, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting. We know the streets around Horning Ferry well, and the Bure staithes is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Properties around Horning Ferry
The buildings closest to Horning Ferry 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 the Bure staithes.
Leadwork at abutments
Cottages in and around Horning, 4 miles from Wroxham, often have short-life lead or cement fillets that need replacing with correctly sized lead.
Mismatched previous repairs
Layers of odd tiles and cement patching on riverside lodges and boathouses in Horning add weight and trap water, so a strip and re-cover puts one consistent system back on.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on riverside lodges and boathouses around Horning, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.

roofing FAQs
- Does the exposure around Horning change what you'd specify?
- Sometimes. Sheltered Horning streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold room or heavy moss growth all change how the work is approached.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold in Horning?
- That gets agreed with you before anyone sets off for Horning. Around the Bure staithes the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
- Will you patch our Horning roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Horning 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.
- Do you actually cover Horning, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Horning is about 4 miles from Wroxham, reached on the A1062. Work in Horning is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
- Do you cover the streets near Horning Ferry?
- Yes, Horning Ferry and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is the Bure staithes. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Horning, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
