Commercial Roofing

Commercial roofs take more punishment than domestic ones - larger flat areas, more foot traffic, and more to go wrong if they're not maintained properly. We work on retail units, industrial units, holiday accommodation, and farm buildings across Cromer and North Norfolk. From flat roof replacement to box gutter lining and roof light installation, we handle it all.

What's involved

Commercial Roofing in Cromer

Commercial roofing covers any roofing work on a non-domestic building - shops, offices, warehouses, holiday lets, agricultural buildings, and anything in between. Cromer has a significant number of older commercial premises on the high street and seafront, plus a large stock of holiday accommodation that often has flat or low-pitch roofs well past their original lifespan. Leaks in a commercial building don't just cause structural damage - they disrupt business, invalidate insurance claims, and can close premises entirely.

The work involved depends on the roof type. Single-ply membrane systems such as TPO and EPDM are common on flat commercial roofs and give a long, reliable service life when correctly installed. We also work with GRP fibreglass roofing, felt systems, and profiled metal sheeting for industrial and agricultural buildings. Box gutters, rooflights, and upstand details are areas where commercial roofs most commonly fail, and we pay particular attention to these during both new installs and repairs.

Commercial roofing is not a job for general builders or domestic roofers without the right experience. The membrane systems used require trained installers to carry manufacturer warranties, and working on large commercial roofs without the correct fall-arrest systems and risk assessments creates serious liability. We carry full public liability insurance and produce a method statement for every commercial project.

We survey the roof before quoting, provide a detailed written specification, and work around your trading hours where possible to minimise disruption. Most small to medium commercial roof replacements in North Norfolk take between one and two weeks. We offer a 20-year manufacturer-backed guarantee on single-ply membrane installations.

Commercial flat roof replacement in Cromer and North Norfolk typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, depending on the membrane system specified and the condition of the existing deck.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cromer typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000. The final figure depends on the roof area, pitch angle, your choice of materials - natural slate costs more than concrete tiles - and how easy it is to access the property. We provide a free, itemised written quote so there are no surprises.
If you're having the same sections repaired repeatedly, if the felt underneath is visibly sagging or rotted, or if more than 20-25% of the tiles are cracked, slipped or missing, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective. We offer a free roof survey in Cromer and will give you an honest assessment - we won't recommend a replacement if a good repair will do the job.
Most standard roof repairs in Cromer - replacing a handful of slipped tiles, repointing ridge mortar or resealing a flashing - cost between £150 and £600. Jobs that require scaffolding, such as chimney repairs or work on a steeply pitched roof, will cost more. We'll assess the job first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Flat roofs in Cromer typically cost between £70 and £120 per square metre installed, so a standard single-garage roof of around 15-18 square metres would cost roughly £1,050 to £2,160. GRP fibreglass sits at the higher end of that range, reinforced felt at the lower end. We provide a free survey and written quote for all flat roofing work.
Fascia and soffit replacement in Cromer typically costs £80-£120 per linear metre for a full strip-and-replace using UPVC, including disposal of the old material. A standard semi-detached property usually runs to around £600-£1,000 for the full roofline. We provide a fixed written quote after inspecting the job, so you won't face unexpected extras.
The most common signs are a damp patch on the ceiling near a chimney breast or dormer window, particularly after heavy or wind-driven rain. You may also see the lead itself has lifted, cracked, or been patched with grey mastic or flashing tape. If a ceiling stain reappears after being replastered, there's a good chance the lead joint above it has never been properly addressed.
A partial chimney rebuild from the flashing line upwards on a standard terraced or semi-detached property in Cromer typically costs £800-£1,800, including new lead flashings and re-bedding the pots. A full rebuild down to roof level will cost more, depending on the height of the stack and the availability of matching brick. We provide a fixed price after inspecting from scaffold - never from the ground.
Chimney take-downs in Cromer typically cost £600-£1,400 for the full job, including scaffold, brick removal, making good the roof covering, and disposal of all material. The final price depends on how high the stack is above the roof line, the type of roof covering, and ease of access. We include everything in a single fixed price so there are no additions on the day.
