Fully insured, free quotes.
Norwich has some of the most varied housing in the region, and the roofline is where that variety really shows. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Golden Triangle have deep painted timber fascias and often shared guttering runs that carry water across more than one property. The 1930s semis scattered through the city have their own detailing again, and the post-war and modern housing out at Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Hellesdon and Eaton is usually simpler to work on but often overdue for replacement.
What all of them have in common is that timber boards do not last forever. Paint cracks, water gets in behind the gutter, the board goes soft, and the brackets start to pull. On a terrace that can spread along the run and end up affecting the house next door as well as your own. Catching it before the roof timbers behind are involved is far cheaper than leaving it.
Roofline work across the NR postcodes
- uPVC or timber fascias and soffits
- New guttering and downpipes, and repairs to existing runs
- Ventilated soffits to keep the loft space breathing
- Colours including white, black, anthracite grey and rosewood
Ventilation matters more on a city terrace than people expect. If the eaves are blocked up, moist air sits in the loft and works on the timbers from the inside. Fitting soffits with ventilation built in keeps air moving through the roof space and takes that problem away at the same time as smartening up the front of the house.
On colour, white is still the safe choice on a painted or rendered frontage. Black and anthracite grey have become popular on the suburban semis, particularly where the windows and doors are already dark, and they look sharp against red brick. Rosewood gives you the look of stained timber with none of the maintenance, which suits a lot of the older city properties.
Access is the main thing we check on a Norwich quote. Terraced streets can be tight for scaffold or a tower, and we would rather work that out before we price the job than surprise you halfway through. Most jobs still come in at a day or two once we are on site, depending on the size of the property.
We are fully insured, we take the old boards and guttering away, and we leave the pavement and the garden as we found them. For a free, no-obligation quote anywhere in Norwich, ring Luke on 07388 771580 and we will come out and look at the roofline properly.
Fascia, Soffit & Guttering in Norwich: common questions
Can you work on a terraced house in the Golden Triangle?
Yes. Terraces need a bit more thought about access and about guttering runs shared with the neighbours, and we check both before we price. The quote itself is free.
Do you cover the Norwich suburbs as well as the city centre?
We do, including Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Hellesdon and Eaton, and the wider NR postcodes. Call 07388 771580 wherever you are in the city.
Will new soffits help with a damp, stuffy loft?
They can. Fitting soffits with ventilation built in keeps air moving through the roof space, which helps prevent the condensation that rots roof timbers.
What our customers say
"Luke and his team are some of the finest building contractors I have had the pleasure of dealing with over the last 25 years. The work completed for us was first class and the guys were respectful, polite and extremely tidy. Absolutely delighted with the finish and we'd have no hesitation in recommending Luke and LDR to anyone. Gary Baldwin - Eye, Suffolk"
"We are thrilled with the work that Luke, Brandon and Kirk have completed for us on our home. It has completely transformed the property, and given it a whole new identity. We had admired LDR's work in a nearby village on a number of properties, when we finally decided to approach Luke and team for a quotation, which we found to be very reasonable. Luke worked with us very openly and without pressure on a timeframe for completing our works, navigating inclement weather and our personal reservations. The team worked in a efficient, orderly and clean manner whilst at our property and filled us with great confidence that we had chosen the right contractor. An incredibly friendly, amenable and jovial team, and we thoroughly enjoyed having them around and can't thank you all enough for helping us make our house finally look more like a home"
"Luke and his team have done a few plastering jobs for us and we can't recommend them highly enough. Polite, efficient, tidy and work that is carried out to a high standard. When we need more work doing Luke will be our first point of contact."
"The LDR team we're great, they carried out internal plastering and and house rendering for us and we are really happy. Luke communicated well and was flexible to help us hit certain dates as to not slow down the project. We still have elements to finish so will be in touch in the near future."
"Outstanding work by conscientious workers.They take real pride in their work. Arrive on time and leave when each stage finished even when this is quite late and beyond 'normal work hours' Always tidy up as they go. Very polite and appreciative. Good communication on what each stage involves and materials used and why. Chose K Rend in pearl on the three outbuildings and it looks amazing."
"Luke, Brandon and Kirk have just applied K rend to the front of my house. Cannot thank the guys enough for an amazing job! It's so hard to get tradesmen you can trust these days but I have to say I would 100% recommend LDR Plastering. Very professional and clean and tidy when working and Luke obviously cares about his customers. Just make sure you give them plenty cups of tea!!! Luke has also done plastering for us inside and again did an amazing job. Can't thank them enough. 5 stars!"
