Cromer's clifftop position and relentless North Sea wind means properties here face weathering conditions that inland homes simply don't — and timber fascias and standard uPVC guttering rarely last as long as manufacturers claim.
Much of Cromer's housing is Edwardian and Victorian, particularly around the streets behind the pier and up towards West Runton Road. These properties were built with timber throughout, and the combination of salt-laden air and driving rain accelerates rot in a way that can catch owners off guard. We've replaced fascias on terraced cottages here where the boards looked sound from street level but had completely softened behind the paint. Aluminium systems tend to perform better than uPVC in coastal conditions and are well worth considering for Cromer properties.
Guttering in Cromer also takes a hammering from wind-blown debris — leaves from garden trees and pine needles from the wooded valleys around Felbrigg lodge in downpipes and cause overflow that stains brickwork and leads to damp. We clear, repair, and replace guttering across the town and surrounding villages. Call us for a free roof-edge survey before the autumn sets in.
