Roofing in Burnham Market means caring for a Georgian streetscape

Burnham Market's roofs sit above one of north Norfolk's best-kept Georgian streetscapes, flint and brick frontages with steep pitched roofs in slate or clay pantile. Many of these properties are second homes or holiday lets, cared for by an owner who is not there most of the year, so a slipped tile or a failing valley gutter can sit unnoticed until the next visit and by then has often let water into the roof timbers below.

The town's popularity as a coastal retreat means standards are high. Owners expect roof work that matches the existing materials and keeps the character of a Georgian frontage intact, not a mismatched patch that stands out from the street. That is as true of a small repair as it is of a full re-roof.

We come up from Norwich on the A148, about 32 miles, and we are used to working around owners who are not always on site. You get a written price before anything starts, photographs of the work if you want them, and a roof that will still be sound the next time you visit.

Roof repairs, re-roofs and roofline in Burnham Market

Second-home owners often ask us to check a Burnham Market roof between visits, and our roof repairs in Burnham Market cover slipped slate and pantile, cracked ridges and failed flashing around Georgian chimney stacks. Where a roof needs replacing entirely we quote a new roof in Burnham Market in matching slate or clay pantile to keep the streetscape consistent.

Flat-roofed rear extensions, common on converted Georgian properties, get proper GRP or EPDM flat roofing instead of a felt repair that will not last. We also fit low-maintenance uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering where old timber has rotted, and offer roof cleaning for roofs that have picked up moss while the property stood empty.
