Leak and storm damage repairs in Tuckswood
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Tuckswood via the A140 Ipswich Road, about 2 miles from Norwich city centre. That matters for roof repairs & leaks: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on low-pitch post-war terraces and concrete interlocking tiles on shallow spans. Jobs here are often within sight of Tuckswood Academy, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.

What happens after you call
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.

Specification options
- Matched replacement tiles and slates

- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.
- Valley liners
- GRP or lead valley liners where the original has split or corroded through.
Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs
- 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.
- 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 low-pitch post-war terraces an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- Our roof is low-pitch post-war terraces — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. low-pitch post-war terraces is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
