Roof repairs and replacement in Swaffham
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Swaffham via the A47, about 16 miles from King's Lynn. That matters for roofing work: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on Georgian market-town roofs and farm buildings.

What happens after you call
Talk it through
A short call establishes property type, age and access — often enough to say what's likely before we arrive.
On-site survey
We check the deck, battens and detailing, not only the visible covering.
Options, not one price
Where there's a repair route and a replacement route, you get both with the trade-offs explained.
Work scheduled around you
Dates confirmed in advance and kept to where weather allows.
Our Norfolk service radius
We quote roof work in Dereham, Downham Market and Watton on the same visit pattern as Swaffham, running out on the A47. Work here falls under Breckland District Council and the PE37 postcode area.
Frequently working in and around Turbine Way, market-place shops.

About 16 miles apart — both are normal working areas for us. Free inspection either way.
Specification options
- Natural and fibre-cement slate
- Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
- Clay pantiles and plain tiles
- Traditional coverings common across East Anglia; re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with matched replacements where tiles are salvageable.
- Code-rated lead
- Correctly sized lead for flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work, rather than cement fillets.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
roofing FAQs
- Can you work on commercial premises around Turbine Way?
- Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.
- Do you actually cover Swaffham, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Swaffham is about 16 miles from King's Lynn, reached on the A47. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in PE37?
- 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.
- 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.
- Do we need permission from Breckland 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.
