Roof replacement in Hunstanton
Full strip-and-recover re-roofs and new roof installations — tiles or slate, new battens, breather membrane, ventilation and fixings to current standards. In Hunstanton that usually means working on carrstone villas and guest houses, alongside commercial jobs around seafront hotels. King's Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start.

Typical jobs on carrstone villas
Seafront properties and carrstone cottages in exposed coastal weather.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On carrstone villas it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt below the tiles has torn or gone brittle, water reaching it runs straight into the loft. That is the point where re-covering beats another patch.
Holiday lets and seasonal timing
Lets and chalets are usually best worked on out of season; we plan dates around bookings.
Inadequate ventilation
Older roofs were rarely built with eaves or ridge ventilation. A re-cover is the moment to add it and stop condensation soaking the insulation.
Coverings suited to Hunstanton
- Fascia, soffit and rainwater goods
- Renewed at the same time where they are rotten, because access is already paid for by the scaffold.
- Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge
- Mechanically fixed systems that do not depend on mortar — the single biggest durability upgrade on an exposed re-roof.
- Concrete interlocking tiles
- The standard on post-war and modern estates — quicker to lay, heavier, and clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
- Breather membrane and battens
- Graded battens and a vapour-permeable membrane replace the old bitumen felt, which is the part of a re-roof nobody sees and everybody relies on.

Practical answers before you book
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- Can we keep the existing tiles?
- Sometimes. Clay pantiles and natural slate often survive a strip and can be re-laid with new ones making up breakages. Concrete tiles past their life usually aren't worth salvaging.
- How disruptive is a re-roof?
- Noisy for a few days and dusty in the loft, but you can stay in the house. Roofs are left weathertight overnight and we work around agreed hours.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
- Do you actually cover Hunstanton, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Hunstanton is about 16 miles from King's Lynn, reached on the A149. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
