Roof repairs in Wroxham
Leak tracing and repair, slipped and broken tiles, storm damage, ridge repointing, flashings and valleys — from single tiles to full sections. In Wroxham that usually means working on riverside lodges and flat-roof extensions, alongside commercial jobs around boat-hire yards. Broadland District Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start.

Typical jobs on riverside lodges
Riverside properties, lodges and flat-roof extensions.
Leadwork at abutments
Cottages within 8 miles of Norwich often have short-life lead or cement fillets that need replacing with correctly sized lead.
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.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Overhanging trees
Leaf fall from the trees along the valley fills gutters and valleys across NR12, which is a maintenance issue long before it becomes a roofing one.
Coverings suited to Wroxham
- Code-rated lead
- Correct code lead for soakers, flashings, valleys and chimney work, in place of cracked cement fillets.
- Temporary weathering
- Where a full repair has to wait for materials or weather, the roof is made watertight in the meantime.
- Repointing and re-bedding
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded, or converted to dry-fix where mortar keeps failing.
- Gutter and downpipe repairs
- Often the actual cause of a 'roof leak' and cheap to put right while access is up.

Practical answers before you book
- 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 riverside lodges an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- 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.
- 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.
- Can you work on commercial premises around boat-hire yards?
- 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.

Find the entry point, not the stain. Water travels along battens before it drops, which is why we trace a Wroxham leak back rather than sealing the nearest suspicious tile. NR12 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Broadland District Council.
