Cromer's seafront position and Victorian building stock make it one of the most demanding environments for roofing on the Norfolk coast, and we install new roofs here that are specified to handle salt air, driving rain and high winds.
Much of Cromer was built during the late Victorian and Edwardian era when the town established itself as a seaside resort. Those grand clifftop terraces, guesthouses and period villas are handsome but their roofs face continuous punishment from north sea weather. Welsh slate was the original material of choice and, where budgets and planning consent allow, it remains one of the best options for coastal longevity. For properties where slate is not appropriate, we specify fibre cement or high-density interlocking tiles that are rated for severe exposure zones.
Salt-laden air accelerates the corrosion of fixings and the deterioration of felt underlays, which is why a new roof in Cromer needs to be specified differently from one fitted ten miles inland. We check every element of the roof structure during our survey, including ridge and hip fixings, lead flashings and any parapet details common on older Cromer properties. Call us to arrange a free site survey before the next winter season sets in.
