Gorleston

The roofs we see most in Gorleston

From the seafront to the newer estates, each kind of house brings its own roof problems.

Older homes near the seafront

The Victorian and Edwardian houses towards the seafront and cliffs often have slate or clay roofs that have taken years of sea wind. Slipped slates, worn ridges and tired leadwork are the usual calls.

Roof repairs

1930s and post-war houses

Across the town there are plenty of hipped roofs on 1930s and post-war homes. When those roofs reach the end, a full re-roof is often better value than patching year after year.

Pitched roofing

Extensions and garages

Bradwell, Belton and the newer estates have lots of flat-roofed extensions and garages. Flat roofs are where most leaks start, and they can be rebuilt as a warm roof.

Flat roofing

Built for the coast

Gorleston takes the wind straight off the sea. On every roof here we pay extra attention to the parts the weather finds first.

  • Ridges and verges fixed securely, not just bedded in mortar
  • Leadwork dressed properly around chimneys and walls
  • Fixings chosen to stand up to salt air

Fitted new roof to conservatory

“Fantastic job. They quickly identified that the existing roof had an insufficient fall and not enough support beams to prevent the roof sagging and pooling. They proposed removing the existing roof and timber work replacing with new beams and a new felt roof. It looks great and we are very happy with the end result. They completed the work in one day and left the site tidy afterwards. Id have no hesitation in recommending”

“Aiden and his team quoted me for some cladding work we wanted. Quote was good so asked him to proceed, Aiden advised the work would not be completed until March. They then he called and came round this week and completed the work. Fantastic job looks great and the work area was left clean and tidy. Highly recommend Aiden and his team for any roofing or cladding work. Thank you and your team”
