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

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Marlingford is about 7 miles from Norwich, reached on the B1108. Work in Marlingford is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.

Does the exposure around Marlingford change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered Marlingford streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold room or heavy moss growth all change how the work is approached.

Do we need permission from South Norfolk District Council for a roof in Marlingford?

Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Marlingford can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.

How long does roof work in Marlingford take?

A repair in Marlingford is often the same day, while a full re-cover on a typical house here runs to a matter of days once scaffold is up, with indicative dates given on the quote and confirmed when the materials are ordered.

Do you clear up afterwards in Marlingford?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Marlingford address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.

Why Norfolk roofs fail

Riverside cottages, farm ranges and outbuildings.

Properties around the Yare at Marlingford mill
The buildings closest to the Yare at Marlingford mill 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 Marlingford Hall parkland.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables around Marlingford are quoted alongside the house so a single visit covers the whole holding.
Access near Marlingford Hall parkland
Scaffold, unloading and parking around Marlingford Hall parkland are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on mill-side cottages around Marlingford, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.

Materials and systems we use

Code-rated lead: Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Marlingford roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for the larger flats and outbuildings around Marlingford where a tough, easily repaired finish suits the budget.
Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge: Mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that carry no mortar, a sensible upgrade on the more exposed roofs around Marlingford.
EPDM rubber membrane: A single sheet of rubber for Marlingford extensions, dormers and garages, with no seams running across the field of the roof.
