Typical jobs on 1960s-90s estate housing
Post-war and modern estate housing with concrete tiled roofs.
Access near Poringland Community Centre
Scaffold, unloading and parking around Poringland Community Centre are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Poringland extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on 1960s-90s estate housing, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Poringland would have.
Failed ridge and hip mortar
Bedding mortar on 1960s-90s estate housing cracks and lets ridge tiles move; dry-fix is the usual long-term answer on the exposed side towards the B1332.

Practical answers before you book
- Can you work on commercial premises in Poringland and around village shops?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Poringland, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Poringland (NR14)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Poringland 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 Poringland rather than given a fixed promise.
- Our Poringland roof is 1960s-90s estate housing, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Poringland. 1960s-90s estate housing is among the most common things we work on in South Norfolk District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
- What does a roofing quote in Poringland cost?
- Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Poringland are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Poringland address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
- How long does roof work in Poringland take?
- A repair in Poringland 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.
