New roofs and full re-roofs in Sneath Common
Sneath Common sits about 4 miles from Long Stratton, reached off the A140, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the NR15 postcode district jobs involve scattered rural homes and agricultural outbuildings, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Common roof problems around Sneath Common
Rural homes and outbuildings.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Sneath Common call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt below the tiles has torn or gone brittle, water reaching it runs straight into the loft. That is the point where re-covering beats another patch.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables are quoted alongside the house so one visit covers the holding.
Inadequate ventilation
Older roofs were rarely built with eaves or ridge ventilation. A re-cover is the moment to add it and stop condensation soaking the insulation.

Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- 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.
- Will you need scaffold on a Sneath Common 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.
- 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.
- Do we need permission from South Norfolk 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.
- Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
