What does a roofing quote in Rackheath cost?

Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Rackheath are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Rackheath address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.

Do you actually cover Rackheath, or just the Norwich area?

We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Rackheath is about 6 miles from Norwich, reached on the A1270 Broadland Northway. Work in Rackheath is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.

Why Norfolk roofs fail

Former airfield estate housing and light industrial units.

Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Rackheath call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished, common on modern estate roofs, patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Properties around the former RAF Rackheath site
The buildings closest to the former RAF Rackheath site 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 Rackheath Hall parkland.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt under the tiles has torn or gone brittle, anything getting past a tile runs straight into the loft, and that is the point at which re-covering a Rackheath roof beats another patch.

Materials and systems we use

Code-rated lead: Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Rackheath roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
EPDM rubber membrane: A single sheet of rubber for Rackheath extensions, dormers and garages, with no seams running across the field of the roof.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for the larger flats and outbuildings around Rackheath where a tough, easily repaired finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Fitted on period and conservation property in Rackheath, nailed with copper or stainless and detailed with lead soakers at every abutment.
