Typical jobs on common-side cottages

Common-side cottages and later estate housing.

  • Failed ridge and hip mortar

    Bedding mortar on common-side cottages cracks and lets ridge tiles move; dry-fix is the usual long-term answer on the exposed side towards the B1113.

  • Gutter and fascia neglect

    Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on common-side cottages, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Mulbarton would have.

  • Access near the Old Beams

    Scaffold, unloading and parking around the Old Beams are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.

  • Roof-light degradation

    GRP roof-lights on Mulbarton units go brittle and crack, which is a leak and a safety problem at once for anyone who has to get on the roof.

Our working method

  1. Inspection first

    Nothing on a Mulbarton roof is priced before somebody has been on it or had a ladder over it.

  2. Honest recommendation

    If a repair on the Mulbarton roof will hold, that is what you'll be told, and if the covering is finished you get the reason for it rather than an endless run of patches.

  3. Specification in writing

    Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed on the Mulbarton quote, so prices from other Norfolk firms can be compared against it properly.

  4. Clean handover

    Scaffold struck, gutters cleared and the Mulbarton site tidied before an invoice goes out.

Practical answers before you book

Our Mulbarton roof is common-side cottages, is that a problem?
Not at all, that is ordinary for Mulbarton. Common-side cottages is among the most common things we work on in South Norfolk District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
Does the exposure around Mulbarton change what you'd specify?
Sometimes. Sheltered Mulbarton 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 Mulbarton?
Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Mulbarton can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
Do you cover the streets near Mulbarton Common?
Yes, Mulbarton Common and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is the Old Beams. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Mulbarton, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
What does a roofing quote in Mulbarton cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Mulbarton are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Mulbarton address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.

Next steps in Mulbarton

If you take one thing from this page: don't let anyone price a Mulbarton roof without seeing it. Common-side cottages in particular can look sound from the ground and be finished underneath. 1970s-90s estate roofs nearby get the same treatment: see the roof, price it in writing, then book it.
