North Walsham is a market town with a wide range of roof types — from Victorian slate on the older terraces near the town centre to concrete tiles on the estates built out towards Worstead — and getting the mounting right depends on knowing which you are working with.
Slate roofs on the older North Walsham streets require slate hooks rather than standard tile hooks, and any slates disturbed during cable routing need re-bedding or replacing properly. On the more recent housing off Yarmouth Road and Greens Road, the roof pitches and rafter spacings are more predictable, but the tiles still need lifting carefully to avoid cracking during bracket installation.
North Walsham sits in open North Norfolk countryside and gets its share of wind. A solar array that has not been fixed to the correct load rating for exposed sites can shift over time, breaking the weathertight seal at every penetration point. We size and torque every fixing to account for local wind exposure before the scaffolding comes down.
