Costessey's mix of post-war semis, 1980s estates and newer builds along the Wensum valley makes it one of the most practical areas near Norwich for a straightforward solar PV installation.
Most properties in Costessey and New Costessey sit on south-facing or south-west-facing plots with standard pitched concrete or clay tile roofs — well suited to solar mounting frames. The challenge we see regularly here is where previous extension work has introduced flat or shallow-pitch sections that need careful assessment before any racking goes down.
We survey the roof structure before a single bracket is fixed, checking rafters, felt condition and any existing leadwork around chimney stacks. Costessey properties close to the Wensum can sit in slightly damper ground conditions, so keeping every penetration fully sealed is not optional — it is the whole point of using a roofer rather than an electrical contractor to lead the install.
