Cromer's exposed clifftop position and its stock of Edwardian guesthouses and Victorian cottages make roof replacements a practical necessity for many homeowners here — not just a cosmetic upgrade.
The North Sea air at Cromer is hard on roofing materials. We regularly survey properties along the clifftop streets and the town's older residential roads and find that salt-laden winds accelerate the breakdown of mortar, flashings and even concrete tiles far faster than inland locations. Many of the town's larger double-fronted Edwardian villas have substantial roof areas that have never had a full replacement — only incremental repairs that have masked deeper problems with the battens and felt beneath.
A full replacement on a Cromer property typically involves fitting a breathable membrane and pressure-treated battens to cope with the coastal exposure. We source materials suited to this environment and carry out structural checks before any new covering goes on. We're based in North Walsham, roughly 10 miles away, so response times are quick.
