How quickly can you get to Norwich?

We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks. Call 07437 005301 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we can't keep.

Can you repair in bad weather?

We can usually make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in poor weather, then complete the permanent repair once it's dry enough to work properly.

Will the repair match the rest of the roof?

We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older Victorian terraces an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.

What does a roof repairs & leaks quote in Norwich cost?

The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.

Our roof is Victorian terraces — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. Victorian 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.

Our working method

Find the actual source
Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.
Make safe
If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.
Repair with matched materials
Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.
Tell you what's next
If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.

Typical jobs on Victorian terraces

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

Restricted access and scaffold
Narrow frontages and parking pressure across NR1 mean scaffold design and permits are planned in advance, not on the morning.
Blocked or split valleys
Debris and moss dam a valley and push water sideways under the tiles, producing a leak metres from the actual fault.
Ageing slate and lead
Nail fatigue in original slate and split lead gutters accounts for a large share of leaks on Victorian terraces.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.

Temporary weathering: Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
Gutter and downpipe repairs: Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
Matched replacement tiles and slates: Sourced to match the existing covering so a repair does not leave a patchwork of colours across the slope.
Valley liners: GRP or lead valley liners where the original has split or corroded through.
