Roof replacement in Mundesley
Full strip-and-recover re-roofs and new roof installations — tiles or slate, new battens, breather membrane, ventilation and fixings to current standards. In Mundesley that usually means working on post-war bungalows and clifftop chalets, alongside commercial jobs around holiday parks. North Norfolk District Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start.

Typical jobs on post-war bungalows
Bungalows and coastal properties taking the full force of the wind.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On post-war bungalows it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Mismatched previous repairs
Layers of different tiles and cement patching add weight and trap water; a strip-and-re-cover puts one consistent system back on.
Inadequate ventilation
Older roofs were rarely built with eaves or ridge ventilation. A re-cover is the moment to add it and stop condensation soaking the 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 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.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
