Typical jobs on estate-built model village housing
Estate-built village housing and period cottages by the Yare.
Overhanging trees
Leaf fall from the trees along the valley fills gutters and valleys across NR14, which around Trowse is a maintenance issue long before it becomes a roofing one.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on estate-built model village housing around Trowse, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.
Inadequate ventilation
Older South Norfolk District Council roofs were rarely built with eaves or ridge ventilation, and a re-cover is the moment to add it before condensation soaks the loft insulation.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Trowse are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.

Our working method
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Trowse.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly, any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

The same team strips and re-covers, so nobody inherits half a job.
Fixed written specification
Membrane grade, batten size, fixing pattern and ridge system are all named in the quote.

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.
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- 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.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Trowse and around Trowse riverside employers?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Trowse, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- Do you cover the streets near Whitlingham Country Park?
- Yes, Whitlingham Country Park and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is Trowse Millgate. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Trowse, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
Next steps in Trowse
A re-cover is decided underneath the tiles, not from the pavement. If the felt and battens on your Trowse roof have gone, we'll show you; if they haven't, we'll say so and quote the repair instead. Period cottages nearby get the same treatment: see the roof, price it in writing, then book it.
