Why Norfolk roofs fail
Village housing, bungalows and light commercial units.
Access near the Dereham Road corridor
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the Dereham Road corridor are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on 1970s estate housing — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on bungalows, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Materials and systems we use
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
- Gutter and downpipe repairs
- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
- Repointing and re-bedding
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.

Questions we get asked in Mattishall
- 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.
- Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
- We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older bungalows an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- Can you repair in bad weather?
- We can usually make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in poor weather, then complete the permanent repair once it's dry enough to work properly.
- 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.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in NR20?
- Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.
