Long Stratton is a south Norfolk village that has grown steadily into a sizeable community strung along the A140 between Norwich and the Suffolk border, with a significant proportion of its housing stock dating from the 1970s through to the 2000s. The dominant property type is the detached or semi-detached family home on the several residential closes and cul-de-sacs that sit back from the main road, many of them carrying concrete interlocking tile roofs that are now approaching the age at which pointing, ridge re-bedding, and tile replacement become necessary. Older properties closer to the historic village core may have plain clay tiles or Norfolk pantiles. We cover Long Stratton from Diss, roughly ten miles to the south-east via the A140 or A143, making it a straightforward part of our working patch.

Long Stratton sits on the old Roman road of Pye Road (A140) and serves as a local service centre for a cluster of surrounding villages. Planning permission has been granted for a significant new bypass, and the village has seen considerable residential growth — meaning a large cohort of roofs built around the same period are ageing simultaneously and increasingly require maintenance.
Predominantly 1970s–2000s detached and semi-detached housing with concrete interlocking tile roofs, plus some older plain clay tile and pantile properties in the village core.
