Roof replacement in Reepham
With market-square businesses on the doorstep, Reepham gives us a mix of farmhouses, outbuildings and village housing. Our roof replacement & new roofs covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way. We know the streets around Reepham Market Place well, and the Marriott's Way trail is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Typical jobs on period market-square buildings
Market-square period buildings and surrounding farmhouses.
Batten decay and nail fatigue
Softwood battens and the nails holding the covering are the usual reason an otherwise sound-looking roof starts shedding tiles.
Failed ridge and hip mortar
Bedding mortar on period market-square buildings cracks and lets ridge tiles move; dry-fix is the usual long-term answer on the exposed side towards the B1145.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables are quoted alongside the house so one visit covers the holding.

Our working method
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Reepham.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly — any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.
What you can expect from us

Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Reepham ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Fixed written specification
Membrane grade, batten size, fixing pattern and ridge system are all named in the quote.

Frequently working in and around market-square businesses, surrounding farm estates.
Practical answers before you book
- How disruptive is a re-roof?
- Noisy for a few days and dusty in the loft, but you can stay in the house. Roofs are left weathertight overnight and we work around agreed hours.
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Do we need permission from Broadland District Council?
- Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in NR10?
- Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.
Next steps in Reepham
A re-cover is decided underneath the tiles, not from the pavement. If the felt and battens on your Reepham roof have gone, we'll show you; if they haven't, we'll say so and quote the repair instead. NR10 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Broadland District Council.
