Leak and storm damage repairs in Horsford

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Horsford via the A140, about 6 miles from Norwich. That matters for roof repairs & leaks: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on estate housing and bungalows.

What happens after you call

  1. Find the actual source

    Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.

  2. Make safe

    If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.

  3. Repair with matched materials

    Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.

  4. Tell you what's next

    If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.

Specification options

Gutter and downpipe repairs
Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
Matched replacement tiles and slates
Sourced to match the existing covering so a repair does not leave a patchwork of colours across the slope.
Repointing and re-bedding
Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
Valley liners
GRP or lead valley liners where the original has split or corroded through.

Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs

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.
Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older estate housing an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
How quickly can you get to Horsford?
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.
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.
