Wroxham is the self-styled capital of the Broads, and its mix of Edwardian villas, riverside bungalows and newer detached homes all present different roofing challenges — we carry out full roof replacements across the town and into Hoveton on the north bank.
The larger detached properties along the river edge in Wroxham were often built in the early twentieth century for prosperous Norwich merchants and boat-hire operators, and many retain their original clay plain tile roofs. These look attractive but can be fragile once the nibs and fixings age — a complete replacement using a modern concrete or natural slate alternative resolves the problem for decades. Wroxham's proximity to the water means humidity levels are higher than average inland, which accelerates felt and timber deterioration beneath the tiles.
On the Hoveton side and in the residential streets further from the river, there are substantial numbers of post-war bungalows and semi-detached houses whose concrete interlocking tiles are now due for renewal. We assess the full roof structure — not just the visible covering — before recommending replacement materials, so the job is done once and done properly.
