The roofs we see in Brandon
Brandon sits in the middle of Thetford Forest on the Suffolk and Norfolk border, and the forest is the defining thing about roofs here. Flint and brick in the old part of town, post war housing around it, and pine on almost every side.
Gutters and valleys are the recurring job in Brandon. Pine needles do not rot down the way leaves do, so they pack into a valley or a gutter and hold water against the covering all year. We see valley linings that have failed early purely because they were never clear, and mossy north facing slopes that need the moss dealt with rather than pressure washed off.
What we are working on in Brandon
Flint and brick in the old town, post war housing around it, and a lot of single storey and outbuilding roofing.
Forest on every side, so needle and debris build up in gutters and valleys is a bigger factor here than wind.
What we get called out for in Brandon
Gutters and valleys, more than anything else. Pine needles pack in and hold water against the covering all year, so linings fail early and north facing slopes go mossy. After that it is the usual repair and re-covering work.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- A flat roof that still has water sitting on it days after rain
- Sagging along the ridge line when you look from across the road
- Gutters overflowing in one spot only
- Lead flashing that has lifted, rippled or been sealed over with mastic
- Felt visibly torn or hanging down when you look up at the eaves

Reviews
What customers say
The team repaired a leak in my roof, delivering a brilliant service from start to finish. Competitively priced and I would highly recommend!!
I’ve just had a re-roof done by Flash roofing, we initially had 3 quote and they were by far the most competitive while making us at ease with everything they offered! Really happy with the outcome and the job was left tidy - couldn’t recommend this team enough!
Great service from start to finish. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work to a high standard. The roof looks solid again, and everything was left tidy. Reliable, professional, and fairly priced, highly recommend.
FAQs
Roofing in Brandon: your questions
How much do roofers in Brandon charge?
It depends entirely on the job, and anybody who gives you a figure before seeing the roof is guessing. What we can tell you is that the survey and the written, itemised quote are free, and the quote separates out access, materials and labour so you can compare it properly against anyone else's.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Brandon?
Ring the mobile on 07934 565 449. Brandon is minutes from Thetford and Mildenhall, both of which we are in weekly. You will get told realistically when we can be there rather than a number picked to sound good.
How long will I wait for a survey in Brandon?
Usually days rather than weeks. Brandon is minutes from Thetford and Mildenhall, both of which we are in weekly.
Do you cover the villages around Brandon?
Yes. We regularly work in Weeting, Santon Downham, Hockwold cum Wilton, Feltwell, Lakenheath, Elveden, Mundford and Methwold.
Will you tell me if I do not need the work doing?
Yes, and it happens often. Plenty of the roofs we are called to in Brandon need a day's work rather than the re-roof somebody else has quoted for, and we would rather do the small job and be the people you ring next time.
