Long Stratton roof repair service
With A140 roadside businesses on the doorstep, Long Stratton gives us a mix of family homes, bungalows and extensions. Our roof repairs & leaks covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way. We know the streets around St Mary's round-tower church well, and the Long Stratton bypass is a useful marker when we arrange access.

What Long Stratton roofs typically need
Village-centre properties and newer housing.
Properties around St Mary's round-tower church
The buildings closest to St Mary's round-tower church take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to the Long Stratton bypass.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Long Stratton call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on newer estate housing — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Access near the Long Stratton bypass
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the Long Stratton bypass are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
The work, step by step
Leak tracing and repair, slipped and broken tiles, storm damage, ridge repointing, flashings and valleys — from single tiles to full sections.

From first call to finished roof
Find the actual source
Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.
Make safe
If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.
Repair with matched materials
Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.
Tell you what's next
If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Long Stratton ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
Emergency call-out
We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for leaks and storm damage — call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Want a written quote you can compare?
Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Norfolk quotes can be judged against it properly.
Nearby villages and towns
Long Stratton sits about 10 miles from Norwich, so Hethersett, Wymondham and Sneath Common are all on the same run for us. Roof Repairs & Leaks enquiries here are handled the same way. That includes commercial premises around A140 roadside businesses.

Long Stratton roofing questions
- How quickly can you get to Long Stratton?
- We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks. Call 07437 005301 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we can't keep.
- The leak appears in one room — is that where the hole is?
- Rarely. Water runs along battens and rafters before it drops. We trace it back to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot above the stain.
- Is it worth claiming on insurance?
- For storm damage, often yes. We provide photographs and a written description of the damage, which is what most insurers ask for. We don't handle the claim itself.
- Do you cover the streets near St Mary's round-tower church?
- Yes — St Mary's round-tower church and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is the Long Stratton bypass. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Long Stratton, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
- Can you work on commercial premises around A140 roadside businesses?
- 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.
Book a free inspection
Find the entry point, not the stain. Water travels along battens before it drops, which is why we trace a Long Stratton leak back rather than sealing the nearest suspicious tile. We are out past the Long Stratton bypass regularly, so fitting in a look at your roof rarely takes long.
