Emergency roof repairs on Thetford property
Sixties and seventies overspill estates on concrete tile, and an older flint and brick core with tall chimney stacks and original lead. Older, taller and more exposed roofs are the ones that lose tiles first when the wind gets up.
Emergency roof repairs on Thetford roofs
Thetford is the town we get called to most often for lead work. The tall stacks on the older property need soakers, back gutters and stepped flashings cut into the brickwork properly rather than sealed over with mastic, and a lot of what we are asked to look at has been patched that way before. On the overspill estates it is ridges, verges and the first full re-roofs.
Temporary does not mean careless. A properly fitted tarpaulin, weighted and lapped so water runs off it rather than under it, will hold for weeks if it has to. What does not hold is a sheet thrown over a roof and tucked under a ridge tile, which is why we would rather do it in daylight than at midnight if the water is not coming in yet.
It matters here because breckland is dry and windy, and the pine belt drops needles and debris into gutters and valleys all year., and that is the weather that takes ridge tiles and lead off in one go rather than gradually.
What the job includes
- The permanent repair booked in as soon as the weather allows
- Make safe: anything loose taken down before it comes down on its own
- A written quote for the permanent repair, separate from the call out
- Temporary weatherproofing so the water stops getting in tonight
Signs to look for
- A ridge tile or chimney pot visibly moved
- Water coming through a ceiling now rather than slowly
- Lead flashing lifted or peeled back

FAQs
Emergency roof repairs in Thetford: your questions
What does an emergency call out cost?
The call out and making the roof safe is priced separately from the permanent repair, and you are told both before we start. There is no charge that appears later.
Do you deal with the insurance company?
We give you the dated photographs and a written report describing the damage and the cause, which is what insurers ask for. The claim itself stays in your name and your control.
Do you do emergency roof repairs in Thetford?
Yes. Thetford is one of the towns we cover as standard, along with Croxton, Kilverstone, Brettenham and the villages around them.
What does a emergency roof repairs job in Thetford start with?
A free survey. We come out, get on the roof where it is safe to, photograph what we find and send you a written quote. There is no charge for that and no obligation afterwards.
