WJS Improvements Ltd installs new roofs in Norwich for properties where the existing covering has become extensively worn, repeatedly problematic or unsuitable for the building. Before recommending replacement, we assess the roof and consider whether repairing the affected areas could still provide a reliable solution.
If deterioration is localised, one of our roof repairs may be all that is required. Where problems affect large areas or repairs are becoming increasingly frequent, a complete replacement can offer a more practical long-term approach.
Roof condition is more important than age alone. Some roofs remain serviceable for many years with sensible maintenance, while others can deteriorate earlier because of materials, exposure, previous workmanship or underlying defects.
Reasons to consider replacement can include:
If severe weather has caused sudden damage or water is actively entering your property, see our emergency roof repair service in Norwich.
Norwich has a varied housing stock, so roofing materials should be selected with the individual building in mind. Roof pitch, structural loading, surrounding architecture and existing details can all influence the most suitable specification.
Clay and Concrete Tiles
Tiles offer a versatile covering for pitched roofs and are available in a wide range of profiles and finishes. The correct product can provide durable protection while complementing both traditional and more modern properties.
Slate Roofing
Slate is well suited to many period and traditional buildings where maintaining a particular character is important. Natural and alternative slate products can be considered depending on the roof and project requirements.
Flat Roofing Systems
Extensions, garages and other low-pitched areas require specialist coverings. Our flat roofing services provide suitable solutions for these parts of a property.
A dependable new roof is about more than the main covering. Norwich properties can include chimneys, valleys, abutments, adjoining roofs and other junctions where careful detailing is essential to keep water out.
Flashing and leadwork around chimneys and walls need to integrate correctly with the replacement covering. Where an existing chimney also requires attention, our chimney repair services can address associated defects as part of the wider roofing work.
Ventilation, membranes, battens and rainwater management are also considered where relevant so the finished roof works as a complete system.
Roof Assessment
We inspect the existing roof, discuss the property and establish the appropriate replacement options.
Material Selection
Tiles, slate and associated components are selected to suit the design and requirements of the roof.
Strip and Inspection
The existing covering is removed where required so previously hidden areas can be inspected and prepared.
Roof Installation
The new membrane, battens, covering, flashing and other essential details are installed to form the completed roofing system.
Completion
We inspect the finished work and clear the working area once installation is complete.
Norwich contains many historic and architecturally distinctive properties, including buildings within conservation areas. Some homes are also affected by additional planning controls, so a replacement roof should take account of the status of the individual property before significant changes are made.
For listed buildings in particular, changing roof materials can require consent. Where restrictions apply, retaining the character and appropriate materials of the building can be an important part of planning the replacement.
Honest Assessment
We consider whether replacement is actually required rather than automatically recommending a complete new roof.
Property-Specific Solutions
Materials and roofing details are chosen according to the building rather than using the same specification for every property.
Complete Roofing Work
We consider the main covering together with membranes, flashing, ventilation and associated roof details.
