Common roof problems around Watton
Town housing, bungalows and light commercial premises.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on bungalows, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Storm damage
Lifted ridges, torn flashings and missing tiles after a storm — usually urgent, and usually worth photographing for an insurance claim.
Failed ridge and hip mortar
Bedding mortar on bungalows cracks and lets ridge tiles move; dry-fix is the usual long-term answer on the exposed side towards the A1075.
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.
Specification options
- Valley liners
- GRP or lead valley liners where the original has split or corroded through.
- Repointing and re-bedding
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
- Matched replacement tiles and slates
- Sourced to match the existing covering so a repair does not leave a patchwork of colours across the slope.
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.

Roof Repairs & Leaks FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
- Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
- We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older bungalows an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- Our roof is bungalows — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. bungalows 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.
- 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.
