Roofing in Hellesdon means 1930s semis and a lot of flat-roofed extensions

Hellesdon grew up as Norwich pushed out along the Drayton and Reepham roads, and most of the housing is 1930s semis with plain-tile or concrete-tile pitched roofs, followed by post-war estates further towards the ring road. These roofs are not fighting salt air or hilltop wind, but decades of unmaintained valleys, worn-out felt in the valleys between gables, and roof timbers that have simply reached the end of their working life.

The suburb has also picked up plenty of rear extensions, garages and conservatories over the years, most of them flat-roofed and finished in felt that was never designed to last more than fifteen or twenty years. A lot of the call-outs we get in Hellesdon are for one of these smaller flat roofs letting water in around the edges rather than the main house roof itself.

We are based just the other side of the ring road, so we can usually get to a Hellesdon roof the same week we are asked. You get an honest look at whether it needs a repair or a full re-roof, a price fixed in writing before we start, and a job that does not need looking at again for years.

Roof repairs, re-roofs and roofline in Hellesdon

Most Hellesdon jobs start with a leak over a bedroom or a stain spreading across a ceiling. Our roof repairs in Hellesdon cover slipped and cracked tiles, failed valleys, cracked ridge mortar and flashing that has come away from a chimney or a party wall. Where a 1930s or post-war roof has had its day, a new roof in Hellesdon in concrete tile is priced in writing before anything is agreed.

Flat-roofed extensions and garages get replaced with GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber flat roofs that outlast old felt many times over. We also fit uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering that never need painting, and repair chimney stacks and pointing on the older houses near the village centre.
