Sandringham is a village wrapped around a royal estate, and the roofs show it. Sandringham House is mainly red brick with limestone dressings, with Norfolk carrstone prevalent in the later additions, and its tiled roof carries nine separate clusters of chimneystacks. That house aside, what we deal with day to day is ordinary enough: slipped and cracked tiles, worn ridge and hip bedding, lead flashings around chimneys and in valleys, and rainwater goods on tall elevations. Chimneys are usually where the trouble starts, because that is where the lead sits, and old lead splits long before the tiles give up. We also work on flat roofs over extensions, outbuildings and porches. If a repair will see you right, we will say so rather than push a full replacement.
The village lies 12 km (7.5 miles) north of King's Lynn, so a call-out here is a short run for us. It is a small parish, 437 people at the 2011 census, and the royal estate around it covers 20,000 acres. The village sits within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape (formerly the Norfolk Coast AONB). Open parkland and woodland nearby mean wind-driven rain, leaf-blocked gutters and branch damage after a blow.
The Church of St Mary Magdalene is a noteworthy example of a carrstone building and is Grade II* listed, as is Sandringham House itself. On property of that age, roofs are pitched, tiled and heavy with stacks, so work means matched tiles, traditional lead detailing and a word with the council before the covering changes.
