Common roof problems around Wells-next-the-Sea
Harbour-side cottages and exposed pantile roofs.
Holiday lets and seasonal timing
Lets and chalets are usually best worked on out of season; we plan dates around bookings.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On harbour-side cottages it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around NR23, so we specify stainless or non-ferrous where they will be exposed.
Mismatched previous repairs
Layers of different tiles and cement patching add weight and trap water; a strip-and-re-cover puts one consistent system back on.

What happens after you call
Inspection first
Nothing is priced before someone has been on the roof or a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the covering is finished, we explain why rather than patching indefinitely.

Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed, so quotes from other Norfolk firms can be compared properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared, and the site tidied before we invoice.

roofing FAQs
- Can you work on commercial premises around harbour businesses?
- 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.
- 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.
- How long will the work take?
- A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.
- Do we need permission from North Norfolk 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.
- What does a roofing quote in Wells-next-the-Sea cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
