Roofing in Fakenham spans market square and river valley

Fakenham grew up as a market town on the River Wensum, and the buildings around its market place carry slate and clay pantile roofs that have stood for well over a century. These older roofs fail at the ridge first, where cracked mortar lets wind lift the tiles nearest the top of the roof, and around chimneys, where ageing lead flashing works loose and lets water track down into the roof timbers.

The town has grown steadily since, with newer estates built on concrete interlocking tile spreading out towards the racecourse and along the main roads in and out of town. These roofs are sound, but guttering built for an older rainfall pattern often cannot keep up with a heavy modern downpour, and the odd slipped or cracked tile is a common, straightforward repair.

We come out from Norwich on the A148, about 25 miles, and we are in Fakenham regularly, on both the market square roofs and the newer estates. You get a proper inspection, a fixed price in writing, and a repair built to last.

Roof repairs, re-roofs and roofline in Fakenham

Our roof repairs in Fakenham cover cracked ridge mortar and failed flashing on the older market town roofs, along with slipped and cracked tiles on newer estates. Where a roof has reached the end of its life we quote a new roof in Fakenham in matching slate or tile, priced honestly before any work starts.

Guttering that overflows in heavy rain is upgraded with properly sized uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering, and flat-roofed extensions get genuine GRP or EPDM flat roofing rather than a felt repair that fails within a year or two. We also provide roof cleaning for roofs that have built up moss near the river.
