Wymondham re-roofing specialists
With Chapel Lane and Ayton Road industrial estates on the doorstep, Wymondham 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 Wymondham roofs typically need
Abbey-town period roofs and newer developments.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt below the tiles has torn or gone brittle, water reaching it runs straight into the loft. That is the point where re-covering beats another patch.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on abbey-town period roofs, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Wymondham call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
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 Wymondham.
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.

Nearby villages and towns
Neighbouring Hethersett, Attleborough, Norwich and Long Stratton come under the same South Norfolk Council patch, so there is no extra travel charge for roof replacement & new roofs there. Roof Replacement & New Roofs enquiries here are handled the same way. That includes commercial premises around Chapel Lane and Ayton Road industrial estates.

Wymondham roofing questions
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- Will you need scaffold on a Wymondham 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.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in NR18?
- Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.
- Do you actually cover Wymondham, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Wymondham is about 10 miles from Norwich, reached on the A11. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
Book a free inspection
On abbey-town period roofs 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. NR18 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in South Norfolk Council.
