New Roof Installations in Melton Constable

New roofs in Melton Constable and Briston

When a roof has been patched one too many times, or it is shedding tiles and letting damp into the loft, a full replacement is usually the more sensible spend over the years that follow. Many of the homes in Melton Constable are Victorian railway terraces and older brick cottages whose slate or pantile coverings, laid long before breathable membranes existed, are now reaching the end of their lives. A new roof puts that right for decades. We carry out complete new roof installations across the village and the area around it, working from our base at Dersingham on the West Norfolk coast.

We work on every kind of property here, from the uniform railway terraces and brick-and-flint cottages to the post-war and modern estate homes that have grown up around the old works. Whatever the age and character of your house, we will specify a roof to suit it and match the look of the street.

Common new roof work we carry out in Melton Constable

• Natural slate re-roofs: the Victorian terraces here came with slate, and we strip and re-cover in Welsh or Spanish slate with traditional fixings and detailing.
• Clay pantile replacement: the red pantile is the signature roof across this part of Norfolk, and we source matching tiles and lay them over a breathable underlay.
• Concrete tile re-roofs: the later estate homes carry concrete interlocking tile that is now reaching the age where replacement beats another repair.
• Breathable membrane upgrades: older roofs often have no underlay, so a full strip lets us fit a high-performance membrane that keeps moisture out while letting the structure breathe.
• Dry ridge and dry verge: modern dry-fix systems hold up better than mortar and need almost no upkeep.
• Flat roofs on extensions and outbuildings: we install EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass on garages, porches and single-storey additions alongside the main pitched work.

Roofs in and around Melton Constable

The railway gave Melton Constable a character you do not often find in a Norfolk village, with neat rows of slated terraces sitting near the parkland of Melton Constable Hall. Keeping those terraces looking consistent matters, so we take care to match new slate and detailing across a run of houses. The brick-and-flint cottages and the modern estates around the village each call for their own approach, from traditional pantile to concrete interlocking tile. We install roofs across the surrounding villages too, among them Briston, Hindolveston, Thornage and Swanton Novers, and our work reaches Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and across the East of England.
