North Elmham is a historic village in the Wensum valley, and many of its older properties carry the kind of aged clay pantile and Norfolk red brick construction that needs careful, experienced repair work rather than a quick fix.
The village sits around eight miles north of Dereham and is known for its Saxon cathedral ruins and a good number of period farmhouses and Victorian cottages along the main street. These older roofs often develop failed mortar on ridge and hip sections, and the valley gutters between roof slopes can crack and leak after a few harsh winters. Matching period clay pantiles for a repair here takes a knowledgeable eye — the wrong tile stands out badly on a characterful village property.
We carry a stock of reclaimed Norfolk pantiles and source matched clay plain tiles when needed, so repairs blend in properly rather than looking patched. If your roof has taken a battering from wind or sustained frost damage over winter, ring us for an honest assessment and a written quote before any further water gets in.
