Cromer's clifftop position and sea-facing streets mean solar panels here are exposed to salt-laden coastal winds that will quickly find any weak point in a roof penetration.
Many Cromer homes are Victorian and Edwardian villas with original Welsh slate or plain clay tiles, often on steep pitches that make access awkward. The flint and brick construction typical of older properties in the town means we pay close attention to any shared chimney stacks and valley sections before planning cable routes. A poorly routed DC cable run can crack aged slate and let water straight into a timber sarking board that has already seen 100 years of North Sea weather.
We use marine-grade fixings on all coastal installations — standard zinc-plated brackets corrode noticeably faster within a few hundred metres of the seafront. If you live on the East Cliff side or along Runton Road, that detail matters far more than it would ten miles inland. We are based in nearby Aylsham and cover Cromer regularly, so a survey visit is straightforward to arrange.
