The roofs we see in Swaffham
Swaffham is a Georgian market town on the Breckland edge, with a lot of listed and conservation property around the market place, and flint and brick further out. The older roofs are pantile and slate on steep pitches, with tall stacks.
Conservation area rules matter here in a way they do not everywhere. A roof in the centre of Swaffham usually has to be repaired in the same material and often the same profile, and a mortar mix suited to soft brick and flint. We will tell you where consent is needed before the work starts rather than after.
What we are working on in Swaffham
Georgian, listed and conservation property with pantile and slate, plus flint and brick, and modern housing on the outskirts.
Breckland is dry and windy, which is hard on flaunching and on anything bedded in mortar at height.
What we get called out for in Swaffham
Conservation and listed property work in and around the market place, repaired in the original material, and pantile, slate and chimney work on the older stock further out.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- A ridge tile sitting visibly proud of the line next to it
- Staining on the chimney breast in a bedroom
- Mortar missing from the ridge or the edge of the roof
- A flat roof that still has water sitting on it days after rain
- 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 Swaffham: your questions
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Swaffham?
Ring the mobile on 07934 565 449. Swaffham is north of Thetford, at the far end of what we cover. 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 Swaffham?
Usually days rather than weeks. Swaffham is north of Thetford, at the far end of what we cover.
Can you provide photographs and a report for an insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph the damage before anything is touched, date it, and write up what caused it. That report is yours to use whoever ends up doing the repair.
Do you do small jobs in Swaffham or only full roofs?
Both. One slipped tile, a cracked verge, a blocked gutter or a single length of flashing are all normal jobs for us.
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 Swaffham 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.
