The leak appears in one room — is that where the hole is?

Rarely. Water runs along battens and rafters before it drops. We trace it back to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot above the stain.

Will the repair match the rest of the roof?

We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older boatyard sheds an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.

Is it worth claiming on insurance?

For storm damage, often yes. We provide photographs and a written description of the damage, which is what most insurers ask for. We don't handle the claim itself.

How soon can someone look at a leak in NR12?

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.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.

Our working method

Find the actual source
Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.
Make safe
If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.
Repair with matched materials
Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.
Tell you what's next
If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.

Typical jobs on boatyard sheds

Broadland homes, boatyards and commercial buildings.

Slipped and cracked tiles
The most common call-out: a handful of tiles out of position letting water onto the felt below, often after a single windy night.
Downtime and access planning
Work around boatyards is scheduled so trading, deliveries and site access continue.
Leadwork at abutments
Cottages within 6 miles of North Walsham often have short-life lead or cement fillets that need replacing with correctly sized lead.
Moss and blocked valleys
Damp valley air around Stalham builds moss quickly, which holds water against tiles and blocks valley runs.

Matched replacement tiles and slates: Sourced to match the existing covering so a repair does not leave a patchwork of colours across the slope.
Code-rated lead: Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.
Gutter and downpipe repairs: Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
Temporary weathering: Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
