Taverham is one of the most actively developed residential areas on the north-west edge of Norwich, with a housing stock that ranges from 1970s detached houses to brand-new builds — each needing a slightly different approach when it comes to solar mounting.
The older detached and semi-detached properties along Taverham Road and around Ringland Hills tend to have interlocking concrete tiles with a heavier profile, where the bracket positioning needs to account for the tile geometry to avoid rocking or cracking under load. Newer plots on the recent Taverham developments often use a thinner concrete or fibre-cement tile that looks similar but behaves differently when you are cutting cable slots.
Because Taverham backs onto Wensum Valley woodland and open farmland towards Ringland, roofs here can carry more moss and lichen than properties in tighter urban streets — and a roof with blocked drainage channels or lifted tiles should be sorted before panels go on, not after. We will tell you honestly at survey stage if any remedial work is needed, rather than letting you find out via a damp patch two winters later.
