New roofs and full re-roofs in Keswick
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Keswick via the A140, about 3 miles from Norwich. That matters for roof replacement & new roofs: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on period estate property and detached homes.

What happens after you call
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Keswick.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly — any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Specification options
- Fascia, soffit and rainwater goods
- Renewed at the same time where they are rotten, because access is already paid for by the scaffold.
- Clay pantiles and plain tiles
- Traditional East Anglian coverings, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with salvaged tiles matched where they are sound.
- 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.
Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Will you need scaffold on a Keswick property?
- For a full re-cover, yes — it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- 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.
- What does a roof replacement & new roofs quote in Keswick 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 South Norfolk 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.
