Typical jobs on post-war bungalows
Bungalows and coastal properties taking the full force of the wind.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally at Mundesley finds gaps that rain falling straight down never would. On post-war bungalows in Mundesley it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Mismatched previous repairs
Layers of odd tiles and cement patching on post-war bungalows in Mundesley add weight and trap water, so a strip and re-cover puts one consistent system back on.
Inadequate ventilation
Older North Norfolk District Council roofs were rarely built with eaves or ridge ventilation, and a re-cover is the moment to add it before condensation soaks the loft insulation.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards North Walsham side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.
Coverings suited to Mundesley
- Clay pantiles and plain tiles
- Traditional East Anglian coverings, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with salvaged tiles matched where they are sound.
- Eaves and ridge ventilation
- Ventilation paths added during the re-cover so the roof space stays dry once it is closed up.
- Fascia, soffit and rainwater goods
- Renewed at the same time where they are rotten, because access is already paid for by the scaffold.
- Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge
- Mechanically fixed systems that do not depend on mortar, the single biggest durability upgrade on an exposed re-roof.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- Can we keep the existing tiles?
- Sometimes. Clay pantiles and natural slate often survive a strip and can be re-laid with new ones making up breakages. Concrete tiles past their life usually aren't worth salvaging.
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- How long does roof work in Mundesley take?
- A repair in Mundesley 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 Mundesley?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Mundesley address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
