New roofs and re-roofing 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. Which of those you have decides whether a re-roof is a straight strip and re-cover or something with more timber work in it.
New roofs and re-roofing 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.
Spray foam is the reason for a lot of the re-roofs we quote. It was sold hard across this area, it traps moisture against the timber, and it usually means the roof cannot be inspected or the house easily mortgaged. Removing it and re-roofing properly is a bigger job than it sounds, and we will be straight with you about what it involves.
It matters here because breckland is dry and windy, and the pine belt drops needles and debris into gutters and valleys all year., which is why coverings around Thetford tend to reach the end of their life at the edges and the ridge before the middle.
What the job includes
- Full strip of the existing covering, battens and underlay
- New lead work, dry ridge, dry verge, eaves protection and ventilation
- Your choice of covering, with the options and the price difference explained
- New treated battens and a breathable membrane throughout
- New or spliced timbers where rot or beetle damage is found, priced before we do it
Signs to look for
- The felt is torn or hanging down when you look at the eaves
- There are several damp patches rather than one
- More than a handful of tiles or slates have slipped in the last two winters
What a re-roof in Thetford involves
The part of a re-roof nobody sees is the part that matters. Once the covering is off you can see every rafter foot, every purlin end and every bit of wall plate. That is where rot hides, and it is the one moment in a roof's life when putting it right is straightforward. We photograph what we find and price it before we carry on.

How long does a re-roof take?
A standard three bedroom semi is usually four to six working days on site once the scaffolding is up, weather permitting. A larger detached house or a property with several elevations and valleys is more like one to two weeks.
