Strip and re-cover roofing in North Walsham
North Walsham sits about 15 miles from Norwich, reached off the A149, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the NR28 postcode district jobs involve market-town terraces and 1960s–80s estates, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Why Norfolk roofs fail
Market-town terraces, bungalows and commercial units.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on market-town terraces, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on 1960s–80s estates — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
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.

How a North Walsham job runs
Survey and scaffold design

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 North Walsham
- 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.
- Will you need scaffold on a North Walsham 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Our roof is market-town terraces — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. market-town terraces is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.
