Emergency roof repairs on Downham Market property
Georgian and Victorian brick with slate and clay pantile in town, and bungalows, farmhouses and barns across the fen villages around it. Older, taller and more exposed roofs are the ones that lose tiles first when the wind gets up.
Emergency roof repairs on Downham Market roofs
The split is very clear here. In town it is slate and pantile work, valleys and chimney leadwork on older brick property. Out on the fen it is ridge and verge, storm damage, and re-covering long low roofs that have taken forty years of wind. We also do a lot of flat roof replacement on the extensions that were added to the bungalows in the seventies and eighties.
Not everything that feels like an emergency is one, and we would rather tell you that on the phone than charge you to find out. A slipped tile with no water coming in can wait for a proper survey in daylight. Water actively coming through a ceiling cannot. Ring and describe it, and we will tell you honestly which one you have.
It matters here because this is some of the most exposed ground in the east of England, with the wind coming off the washes and nothing to break it., and that is the weather that takes ridge tiles and lead off in one go rather than gradually.

Signs to look for

What happens when you call us out in Downham Market
The most useful thing you can do before we arrive is get a photograph from the ground and move what is underneath the leak inside the house. We will handle the rest. Do not go up a ladder in wind to look, which is how most of the serious injuries in this trade happen to homeowners rather than roofers.

Yes. Downham Market is one of the towns we cover as standard, along with Denver, Nordelph, Stow Bardolph and the villages around them.
