Bungalows in Wymondham are a cherished part of the local landscape. Their single-storey charm offers comfort and accessibility. But there’s one part of these homes that often gets overlooked — the roof. What shape is your bungalow roof in?
If you’re starting to see missing tiles, moss growth, or rising energy bills, it might be time to look up. Literally. Here’s how Point Roofing, a trusted local roofing company covering Wymondham, can help keep your bungalow protected, efficient, and visually appealing.
Why Bungalow Roofs Need Special Attention
Bungalows come with unique challenges. Their lower height means the roof is more exposed to weather damage and easier for moss to grow. And because most bungalows don’t have attics, poor roofing can quickly affect interior comfort.
Some questions to consider:
- Have you noticed damp patches on the ceiling?
- Is your home colder in winter despite the heating?
- Does your roof look tired compared to your neighbours’?
These could all point to roofing issues — and opportunities to improve.
What Point Roofing Offers for Wymondham Bungalows1. Free, Honest Roof Inspections
Point Roofing offers no-obligation inspections, giving you a clear idea of your roof’s condition.
- No pressure sales.
- Transparent reports.
- Recommendations tailored to your home.
Example: One homeowner in Wymondham had a routine inspection that revealed loose ridge tiles. A quick repair prevented future leaks — saving thousands in water damage costs.
2. Expert Roof Repairs
From slipped tiles to worn flashing, small problems can escalate quickly. Point Roofing acts fast to:
- Replace broken or missing tiles.
- Reseal flashing around chimneys and vents.
- Repair sagging or cracked areas.
Specific fix: In Beckets Grove, a bungalow suffered recurring leaks during heavy rain. Point Roofing re-bedded the ridge tiles and replaced weathered lead flashing — no more leaks since.
3. Complete Roof Replacements
If your roof is beyond repair, they can strip and replace it with high-quality materials.
Benefits include:
- Better insulation.
- Improved curb appeal.
- Long-term peace of mind.
They specialise in pitched roofs using tiles or slates to match the original character of your home. You choose the look, they deliver the quality.
4. Flat Roof Solutions for Extensions
Many bungalows have flat-roofed extensions like conservatories or garages. Flat roofs are notorious for ponding water and cracking. Point Roofing offers:
- EPDM rubber roofing – flexible and durable.
- GRP fibreglass – seamless and strong.
- Felt systems – budget-friendly and effective.
Example: A customer in Wymondham’s Norwich Common had a 15-year-old felt roof that was leaking. The team replaced it with a GRP fibreglass solution. It now comes with a 20-year guarantee.
5. Roofline Upgrades – Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
It’s not just about tiles. The roofline protects the edge of your roof from water and pests.
Point Roofing installs:
- uPVC fascias and soffits that won’t rot or warp.
- Deep-flow guttering to handle heavy rainfall.
- Bird combs to stop nesting under tiles.
Why it matters: A damaged fascia lets water into your roof structure. That’s costly rot you can easily avoid.
6. Energy Efficiency Improvements
Old roofs lose heat. That means higher energy bills. A refurbished or newly insulated roof can:
- Reduce heat loss by up to 25%.
- Cut heating bills significantly.
- Make your home more comfortable year-round.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, proper roof insulation can save a detached home up to £315 a year. Point Roofing ensures insulation is up to standard during any major work.
