Roofing in Wymondham spans an old abbey town and a fast-growing one

Wymondham's town centre, close to the Abbey and the timber market cross, is built up of Georgian and Victorian brick and flint houses under steep pantile roofs, many with timber-framed sections behind later brick fronts. Roofs this old carry generations of small repairs, and the usual weak point is where an old chimney stack meets the roofline: the lead flashing there has often been patched more than once and finally needs doing properly.

Outside the historic centre, Wymondham has grown fast in recent years, with large new estates of concrete-tiled roofs spreading towards the A11 and the outlying villages. These roofs are young and generally sound, but a badly bedded ridge or a poorly sealed roof light on a new build shows up as a leak just as quickly as an old one does, and it is often the fittings rather than the tiles themselves that let go first.

We come out from Norwich on the A11 and B1172, about 10 miles, and Wymondham is one of the towns we work in most. You get a clear answer on repair against re-roof, a written price before anything starts, and roofing matched to whichever part of town you are in.

Roof repairs, re-roofs and roofline in Wymondham

Calls from the old town centre tend to be cracked ridge mortar and chimney flashing on Georgian and Victorian houses, while calls from the newer estates are more often a poorly sealed roof light or a settling ridge. Our roof repairs in Wymondham cover both, and where a roof needs full replacement we quote a new roof in Wymondham in writing before anything starts.

We fit uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering to replace tired timber on the older town-centre houses, and flat-roofed extensions and garages on both old and new properties get GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber flat roofing instead of felt that has already split once. Moss on shaded, older roofs is cleared with proper roof cleaning.
