Do you clear up afterwards?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.

How long will the work take?

A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.

Do you actually cover Leiston, or just the Norwich area?

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Leiston is about 4 miles from Saxmundham, reached on the B1119. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.

Can you work on commercial premises around Sizewell-related contractors?

Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.

Our roof is terraced works housing — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. terraced works housing is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

Typical jobs on terraced works housing

Terraced housing and light industrial buildings.

Wind-lifted ridges and verges
Salt-laden gusts off the coast work at bedding mortar first. On Leiston roofs we usually recommend dry-fix ridge and verge systems when re-covering.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards Saxmundham side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around IP16, so we specify stainless or non-ferrous where they will be exposed.

Coverings suited to Leiston

Clay pantiles and plain tiles: Traditional coverings common across East Anglia; re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with matched replacements where tiles are salvageable.
EPDM rubber membrane: Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for larger flats and outbuildings where a robust, repairable finish suits the budget.
