Typical jobs on Victorian terraces

Victorian terraces, city-centre period roofs and commercial buildings.

  • Split and blistered felt

    Old bitumen felt on Norwich extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

  • Shared valleys and party walls

    Terraced streets in Norwich share valleys and parapets, so a leak often starts next door. Both slopes get inspected before a Norwich quote is written.

  • Domestic and commercial in one visit

    Homes and small commercial premises in Norwich are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.

  • Ageing slate and lead

    Nail fatigue in original slate and split lead gutters accounts for a large share of Norwich leaks on Victorian terraces.

Our working method

  1. Inspection first

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

  2. Honest recommendation

    If a repair on the Norwich 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 Norwich quote, so prices from other Norfolk firms can be compared against it properly.

  4. Clean handover

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

Practical answers before you book

How soon can someone look at a leak in Norwich (NR1)?
Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Norwich is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Norwich rather than given a fixed promise.
What does a roofing quote in Norwich cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Norwich are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Norwich address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
How long does roof work in Norwich take?
A repair in Norwich 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.
Our Norwich roof is Victorian terraces, is that a problem?
Not at all, that is ordinary for Norwich. Victorian terraces is among the most common things we work on in Norwich City Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
Do you clear up afterwards in Norwich?
Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Norwich address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
