Strip and re-cover roofing in Mattishall
Mattishall sits about 5 miles from Dereham, reached off the A47 nearby, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the NR20 postcode district jobs involve bungalows and 1970s estate housing, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting. We know the streets around All Saints church well, and the Dereham Road corridor is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Standards, insurance and guarantees
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
You see the roof stripped
Before the new covering goes on you're welcome to see the bare deck and what we found — no hidden surprises later.
Why Norfolk roofs fail
Village housing, bungalows and light commercial units.
Batten decay and nail fatigue
Softwood battens and the nails holding the covering are the usual reason an otherwise sound-looking roof starts shedding tiles.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Mattishall call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
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.
Properties around All Saints church
The buildings closest to All Saints 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 Dereham Road corridor.
Where else we work from Mattishall
Most weeks we are somewhere between Mattishall and Dereham, which is why a free inspection here does not need to wait for a run of work to build up. Roof Replacement & New Roofs enquiries here are handled the same way. Postcodes covered locally: NR20.
Frequently working in and around village trade units, agricultural yards.
How a Mattishall job runs
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Mattishall.
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.

Questions we get asked in Mattishall
- 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 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.
- Will you need scaffold on a Mattishall property?
- For a full re-cover, yes — it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- Can you work on commercial premises around village trade units?
- 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.
- Do we need permission from Breckland District Council?
- Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.
