Typical jobs on Edwardian clifftop houses
Clifftop houses, slate roofs and heavy salt exposure.
Access near Overstrand beach ramp
Scaffold, unloading and parking around Overstrand beach ramp are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Properties around The Pleasaunce
The buildings closest to The Pleasaunce take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to Sea Marge.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally at Overstrand finds gaps that rain falling straight down never would. On Edwardian clifftop houses in Overstrand it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Overstrand extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

Practical answers before you book
- Do we need permission from North Norfolk District Council for a roof in Overstrand?
- Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Overstrand can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Overstrand?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Overstrand address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold in Overstrand?
- That gets agreed with you before anyone sets off for Overstrand. Around Overstrand beach ramp the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
- Our Overstrand roof is Edwardian clifftop houses, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Overstrand. Edwardian clifftop houses is among the most common things we work on in North Norfolk District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
- Does the coastal weather at Overstrand change what you'd specify?
- Yes. On the coast at Overstrand we lean towards stainless or non-ferrous fixings, dry-fix ridge and verge systems and heavier flashing details, because salt and wind shorten the life of standard mortar-bedded work.
