Roofers in Dereham

The heart of Norfolk

Dereham, in Breckland, is one of Norfolk's larger market towns, west of Norwich along the A47. Its centre, a conservation area, has buildings from medieval to Victorian times around the market place and the church of St Nicholas, with residential estates and business premises around it.

Homes and businesses

DH Roofing Contractors work for domestic and commercial customers, so in Dereham that can mean re-roofing a period house, repairing a flat roof on a business unit or fitting solar panels to a commercial roof. EPDM rubber is made in large sheets, so it suits larger commercial flat roofs as well as garages and extensions.

Older and listed buildings

On a listed building, or in the conservation area, a change of roof covering may need consent from Breckland Council, and like-for-like materials are usually expected. Our completed projects include slate roofing and roof tiling of historic and listed buildings, and we work with our local suppliers to source materials that match.

Roofing problems to look out for in Dereham

Dereham's older buildings, around the Market Place and the streets leading off it, have clay tiles, pantiles and slate that need repairs carried out with matching materials, along with chimneys that need repointing and leadwork that needs renewing. The town's estates of post-war and modern houses bring concrete tile roofs, uPVC rooflines and many flat roofs on garages and extensions. Business premises and industrial units often have larger flat or low pitch roofs, where a failing covering can let water into stock or equipment.

Commercial roofing in Dereham

For business premises, roofing work has to fit around the business. Flat roof repairs and replacements in EPDM rubber, gutter clearing and repairs, re-roofing of pitched roofs and rooftop solar panels for commercial customers are all part of the service. EPDM is made in large sheets, so larger roofs can be covered with fewer joints, and it is bonded without a naked flame.
