Typical jobs on riverside period property
Riverside town centre with period and modern roofs.
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.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on riverside period property, so we check the deck edge before re-covering.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Moss and blocked valleys
Damp valley air around Loddon builds moss quickly, which holds water against tiles and blocks valley runs.

Our working method
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Loddon.
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.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Loddon 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 you actually cover Loddon, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Loddon is about 11 miles from Norwich, reached on the A146. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
Next steps in Loddon
A re-cover is decided underneath the tiles, not from the pavement. If the felt and battens on your Loddon roof have gone, we'll show you; if they haven't, we'll say so and quote the repair instead. NR14 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in South Norfolk Council.
