Roof Repairs in Hingham

Roof repairs in Hingham and south Norfolk

Hingham is an elegant little Georgian market town between Wymondham and Watton, and the fine brick houses around its Market Place and the Fairland green give it a roofline worth keeping in good order. Many of those roofs are clay pantile or natural slate that have shed water for two centuries or more, and as fixings, mortar and flashings tire, the odd slipped tile or damp patch starts to appear. Catching a leak early almost always costs far less than letting it work into ceilings and timbers.

We are based in Dersingham on the West Norfolk coast and travel to Hingham as part of our wider work across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and across the East of England. Our roof repairs cover the town and the surrounding villages, so wherever you are around the greens or out on the lanes, we can get to you.

Common roof repair work we carry out in Hingham

• Slipped and cracked pantiles: the red pantile roofs common on Hingham's older homes shed tiles as nibs and mortar wear, and we re-hang, re-bed or replace them with a close match.
• Slipped slates: the slate roofs on some of the Georgian houses lose tiles as fixing nails rust, and we re-fix or replace them and match the slate.
• Ridge and hip mortar repairs: bedding mortar dries and cracks with age, so we re-bed or re-point ridge tiles, or fit a dry-fix system for less upkeep.
• Lead flashing leaks: the lead around chimneys and parapets on the older houses is a frequent way in for water, and we re-dress or renew it properly.
• Valley and parapet repairs: the grander Georgian frontages often have hidden valleys and parapet gutters that back up, and we clear, re-line and seal them.
• Storm damage: after a blow we make the roof safe quickly and give you a clear written report to support any insurance claim.

Local roofs in Hingham

Hingham wears its Georgian prosperity on its sleeve, with handsome red-brick houses around the Market Place and the two greens, and St Andrew's church carrying a bust of Abraham Lincoln, whose ancestors left the town for New England. That heritage means a good deal of the central stock is period, listed or in a conservation area, roofed in clay pantile or slate and best repaired like for like. The brick-and-flint cottages and the newer homes on the edges add concrete tile to the mix. Being inland in gently rolling south Norfolk, Hingham sees more age-related wear than coastal storm damage. We also cover the surrounding villages, among them Hardingham, Deopham, Garvestone and Scoulton, with Wymondham and Watton close by.
