Dickleburgh sits right on the A140 between Diss and Long Stratton, and as one of our nearest service areas, we know the village's rooflines — a mix of traditional Norfolk farm cottages, post-war council-era housing, and a handful of converted barns — very well indeed.
The older properties here are often built under plain clay tile roofs bedded on traditional sand-and-cement mortar that has carbonated and cracked over decades of freeze-thaw cycling. We see a lot of ridge and hip repointing work in Dickleburgh, and we always rake out the old mortar fully rather than capping over the top, which is the only way to get a repair that lasts. Poorly repointed ridges are the single most common source of loft-level leaks in properties of this age in South Norfolk.
Because we're based less than 5 miles away in Diss, we can often fit Dickleburgh jobs in at short notice and at no additional call-out cost. If you've noticed daylight through the roof space or damp on a chimney breast wall, get in touch for a free roof survey — we'll have someone with you quickly.
