Roofing and New Roof Services in Norwich

Welcome

Harris Roof Solutions carry out new roof installations and are full re-roof experts.

We also replace the full roof.  This includes replacing the Membrane, Battens and Roof Tiles. 

Roofs usually last about 25 years, if maintained. So it is worth considering a full new roof installation.

When installing a new roof we remove (from site) all the old roofing materials and replace with a new breathable roof membrane, new treated wooden battens and new roof tiles.

You, the client may have the choice of the type of roof tile and the colour.

All rubbish is removed from the project site.

Roof Inspections

Signs That It’s Time For A New Roof:

Look for Leaks.

Caused by missing or damaged roof tiles, and blocked gutters.(Tip) Never ignore roof leaks and find the root of the problem as soon as possible.

The condition of the roof tiles.

It’s not difficult to notice if a roof tile has seen better days.  Incomplete or cracked tiles or slates are normally a result of wind damage.

Light is visible through the roof?
If light is visible from the underside of the roof, it’s normally time for a roof inspection.  It’s crucial to identify and address the problem as soon as it appears. Perhaps small holes and leaks can be repaired.

Sagging roof?
A sagging roof could indicate serious structural problems and should be professionally inspected promptly.

New Roof Required

Don’t wait for major damage.
The best time to replace the roof is before it actually shows severe degradation.
