Roofers in Wymondham

Roofs in Wymondham

Wymondham is a South Norfolk market town south west of Norwich. Its centre is a conservation area, with the Abbey, the timber-framed Market Cross and streets of older houses, many of them listed. Around it are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, post-war housing and large modern estates on the edges of the town. That gives a wide mix of roofs: clay pantiles and plain tiles on older buildings, slate on many terraces, and concrete tiles on newer homes.

Older and listed properties

On a listed building, or in the conservation area, changes to a roof often need consent from South Norfolk Council, and like-for-like materials are usually expected. Our completed slate roofing and roof tiling projects include historic and listed buildings, and we work with our local suppliers to match the tiles or slates already on the roof. Leadwork around chimneys and party walls is renewed in rolled lead rather than patched with sealant.

Newer homes

Even on a modern house, ridge and hip tiles can work loose in high winds, gutters block, and flat roofs on garages and extensions wear out. We replace fascias, soffits and guttering in low maintenance uPVC, replace failed felt flat roofs with EPDM rubber, and install rooftop solar panels.

Roofing problems to look out for in Wymondham

On the older houses around the Market Place, Damgate Street and the streets near the Abbey, the most common problems are slipped and cracked clay tiles, ridge mortar that has crumbled away, and lead flashings around chimneys and party walls that have lifted or split. Victorian terraces with slate roofs suffer from nail sickness, where the nails rust through and the slates slide out of their courses. On the newer estates around the edge of the town, the usual issues are loose ridge and verge tiles after high winds, blocked or sagging gutters, and felt flat roofs on garages and extensions coming to the end of their life.
