Typical jobs on large modern estates with concrete tiles
Large modern estates with concrete tile roofs.
Chimney and abutment leaks
Cement fillets crack and let water track down the stack. Replacing them with properly sized lead is a permanent fix rather than a seasonal one.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
Storm damage
Lifted ridges, torn flashings and missing tiles after a storm — usually urgent, and usually worth photographing for an insurance claim.
Restricted access and scaffold
Narrow frontages and parking pressure across NR8 mean scaffold design and permits are planned in advance, not on the morning.

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.
What you can expect from us
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to Taverham retail park, quoted on the same basis.
Repair when a repair will do
We'd rather do a £-hundred repair honestly than sell a re-roof that isn't needed yet.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- Can you repair in bad weather?
- We can usually make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in poor weather, then complete the permanent repair once it's dry enough to work properly.
- How quickly can you get to Taverham?
- We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks. Call 07437 005301 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we can't keep.
- 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.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold here?
- We agree that with you first. Around Ringland Hills the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
Next steps in Taverham
Find the entry point, not the stain. Water travels along battens before it drops, which is why we trace a Taverham leak back rather than sealing the nearest suspicious tile. Integral garages nearby get the same treatment: see the roof, price it in writing, then book it.
