Dilham is one of the most characterful small villages on the edge of the Broads, and its traditional Norfolk properties — many backing onto the old canal — deserve roof repairs carried out by people who understand the materials and conditions specific to this area.
The village sits low-lying beside Dilham Canal, and properties here can experience damp from two directions — rising from the ground and entering through deteriorating roof coverings. Older cottages built from local brick under pantile or plain clay tiles are common, and we regularly carry out repairs to failed mortar bedding, cracked ridge tiles, and lead soakers around chimney stacks on these buildings.
The proximity to water and the shelter provided by surrounding trees can mean moss and lichen growth on roof surfaces that accelerates tile deterioration if left untreated. We include a condition check for this as part of any repair visit to Dilham properties, and we can advise on biocide treatment to extend the life of the repaired roof.
