Wroxham re-roofing specialists
With boat-hire yards on the doorstep, Wroxham gives us a mix of domestic and light commercial roofs. Our roof replacement & new roofs covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

What Wroxham roofs typically need
Riverside properties, lodges and flat-roof extensions.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
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.
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.
Leadwork at abutments
Cottages within 8 miles of Norwich often have short-life lead or cement fillets that need replacing with correctly sized lead.
The work, step by step
Full strip-and-recover re-roofs and new roof installations — tiles or slate, new battens, breather membrane, ventilation and fixings to current standards.
- Full strip and re-roof
- Tile, slate and pantile coverings
- New battens, membrane and ventilation
- Ridge, hip and verge dry-fix systems
From first call to finished roof
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Wroxham.
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.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
Emergency call-out
We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for leaks and storm damage — call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
You see the roof stripped
Before the new covering goes on you're welcome to see the bare deck and what we found — no hidden surprises later.
Want a written quote you can compare?
Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Norfolk quotes can be judged against it properly.
Nearby villages and towns
Wroxham sits about 8 miles from Norwich, so Coltishall, Stalham and Belaugh are all on the same run for us. Roof Replacement & New Roofs enquiries here are handled the same way. That includes commercial premises around boat-hire yards.
Frequently working in and around boat-hire yards, Broads visitor retail.
Wroxham roofing questions
- How disruptive is a re-roof?
- Noisy for a few days and dusty in the loft, but you can stay in the house. Roofs are left weathertight overnight and we work around agreed hours.
- Will you need scaffold on a Wroxham property?
- For a full re-cover, yes — it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- 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.
- Our roof is riverside lodges — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. riverside lodges 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.
- 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.

On riverside lodges the salvage question matters: clay and natural slate often survive a strip and go back down; tired concrete tiles rarely justify it. We decide that with you on the roof, not in the office. NR12 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Broadland District Council.
