Not always. Single-pitch access repairs are typically done by ladder with a crawling board. Two-storey or complex access repairs may need a tower or scaffold — we include this in the quote if needed. This is typical of Heigham roofs.

A correctly specified repair should last 15-25 years minimum. We specify every repair for local conditions and back all work with a 10-year written workmanship guarantee.

Like-for-like repairs using the same material do not require planning permission in most cases. Conservation area properties have additional requirements — we check this as part of every free survey.

Our free surveys include ground-level inspection using binoculars and camera zoom, roof access where needed, systematic checking of all tile fixings, flashings, valleys, ridges and hips, and a written report with photographs. We identify all defects found, not just the one that prompted the call. The survey takes 30-60 minutes and carries no obligation. The terraces around the Heigham Street and Nelson Street area are typical of the tight inner-city grain.

We do not offer formal price-matching, but if you have received a lower written quote from a comparable NFRC-registered contractor specifying the same scope and materials, we are happy to review our quote. The most common reason for significantly lower quotes is reduced scope or cheaper materials — we will always explain exactly what our quote includes.
