Strip and re-cover roofing in Letheringsett
Letheringsett sits about 1 miles from Holt, reached off the A148, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the NR25 postcode district jobs involve mill and estate buildings and flint cottages, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Standards, insurance and guarantees
Local knowledge
North Norfolk District Council area work, the NR25 postcode district — we know the building types and what tends to fail on them.
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to watermill, quoted on the same basis.
You see the roof stripped
Before the new covering goes on you're welcome to see the bare deck and what we found — no hidden surprises later.
Why Norfolk roofs fail
Village properties, outbuildings and flat-roof extensions.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables are quoted alongside the house so one visit covers the holding.
Batten decay and nail fatigue
Softwood battens and the nails holding the covering are the usual reason an otherwise sound-looking roof starts shedding tiles.
Mismatched previous repairs
Layers of different tiles and cement patching add weight and trap water; a strip-and-re-cover puts one consistent system back on.
Overhanging trees
Leaf fall from the trees along the valley fills gutters and valleys across NR25, which is a maintenance issue long before it becomes a roofing one.

Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Questions we get asked in Letheringsett
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
