Properties around Salhouse Broad
The buildings closest to Salhouse Broad 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 All Saints church.
Batten decay and nail fatigue
Softwood battens and tired nails are the usual reason an otherwise sound-looking roof in Salhouse starts shedding tiles a few at a time.
Access near All Saints church
Scaffold, unloading and parking around All Saints church are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Leadwork at abutments

Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Practical answers before you book
- Can we keep the existing tiles?
- Sometimes. Clay pantiles and natural slate often survive a strip and can be re-laid with new ones making up breakages. Concrete tiles past their life usually aren't worth salvaging.
- Will you need scaffold on a Salhouse property?
- For a full re-cover, yes, it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- 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.
- What does a roof replacement & new roofs quote in Salhouse cost?
- Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Salhouse are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Salhouse address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
- Do you actually cover Salhouse, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Salhouse is about 7 miles from Norwich, reached on the B1140. Work in Salhouse is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
Next steps in Salhouse
A re-cover is decided underneath the tiles, not from the pavement. If the felt and battens on your Salhouse roof have gone, we'll show you; if they haven't, we'll say so and quote the repair instead. Post-war bungalows nearby get the same treatment: see the roof, price it in writing, then book it.
