The most common cause of repeat roof repair calls in Norwich is an incorrect diagnosis on the first visit — treating the visible symptom rather than the underlying cause. A leaking ceiling stain might indicate a cracked tile directly above, but it might equally indicate a failed valley 2 metres away, a blocked back gutter, or a cracked flashing at the chimney. We photograph all defects found during the survey and explain the diagnosis before quoting. You should know exactly what is being repaired and why before we start work.
Every repair we carry out is specified for local conditions, not generic UK standards. Pantile matching on period Norwich properties uses clay tile sourced to match the original profile — not a concrete substitute. Lead flashing replacement uses Code 4 or Code 5 lead with correct welt and drip detailing. Ridge repointing uses a flexible mortar mix appropriate for the thermal movement common on exposed Norfolk rooflines. These specifications are not more expensive than generic alternatives — they simply last significantly longer.
