New Roofs in Cromer

How we handle new roofs

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you'll make in a property, and getting the specification right from the start saves money and headaches for decades. We install new roofs on everything from traditional Norfolk flint cottages and Victorian terraces to modern new-builds and single-storey extensions across Cromer, Sheringham, North Walsham and the surrounding villages.

The work starts with a thorough survey of the structure - checking rafter sizes, fascias, soffits and ventilation before a single tile goes on. For pitched roofs in Cromer, we typically work with natural slate or concrete interlocking tiles, both of which handle the salt-laden coastal winds better than cheaper alternatives. We install breathable underlays, properly sized guttering, and all lead flashing to valleys and abutments as standard - nothing is treated as an optional extra.

Installing a roof yourself is not something we'd recommend to anyone. Working at height without proper access equipment and fall-arrest systems is genuinely dangerous, and an incorrectly installed roof can void your buildings insurance. A roofer who cuts corners on felt, battens or fixings creates problems that don't show up until the first serious storm - by which point the damage bill far outweighs any saving made upfront.

We'll visit the site, take measurements and provide a written, itemised quote - usually within a few days of your enquiry. Most new roof installations on a standard three-bedroom house take three to five working days, weather permitting. We leave the site clean and tidy each day, and all our work is covered by a ten-year workmanship guarantee alongside manufacturer warranties on materials.

New pitched roof installation in Cromer typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000 depending on roof area, pitch, material choice and access requirements.
