Roofing in Great Walsingham means flint, farmhouse and open farmland

Great Walsingham is a small, quiet village on the River Stiffkey, and most of its roofs sit over flint and brick cottages and farmhouses that have been built and rebuilt over generations. Clay pantile is the dominant covering, often laid decades ago on timber that has moved slightly with age, so ridges and valleys need re-bedding more often here than on a newer roof, and a missing tile is quickly followed by others nearby if it is left.

The village and the farmland around it offer little shelter, so wind and driving rain reach these roofs with full force, and moss builds up fast on north-facing slopes shaded by hedgerows and farm buildings. Barns and outbuildings converted for living space add another layer, mixing older tile with newer flat roofs over extensions that need their own attention.

We come up from Norwich on the A148, about 28 miles, and know the flint and pantile roofs typical of this part of north Norfolk well. You get a written price before anything starts and work that matches the age and character of the building.

Roof repairs, re-roofs and roofline in Great Walsingham

Our roof repairs in Great Walsingham cover re-bedded ridges and valleys on older flint cottages and farmhouses, along with failed flashing where a chimney or dormer breaks the roof line. Where a roof has reached the end of its life we quote a new roof in Great Walsingham in matching clay pantile.

Converted barns and outbuildings often carry flat roofs over their extensions, and we fit proper GRP or EPDM flat roofing rather than a felt repair that will not last in an exposed rural setting. We replace rotten timber roofline with uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering, and clear moss with careful roof cleaning on shaded, north-facing slopes.
