Solar Panel Installation

Solar Panel Installation

We install solar panels on pitched and flat roofs across Wymondham and Norfolk, handling everything from the roof-level fixings and waterproofing to a tidy finish. Getting the mounting right is the most important part of any solar installation, and that is where a roofing specialist adds real value. We work alongside your chosen MCS-accredited electrician so the whole job is co-ordinated.

What's involved

Solar Panel Installation in Wymondham

Solar panel installation on a roof involves far more than bolting down a frame and connecting some cables. The roof structure must be assessed for load-bearing capacity, the tiles or slates around each fixing point must be cut and reseated correctly, and the penetrations for cabling must be made permanently weathertight. A poorly detailed solar installation is one of the most common causes of roof leaks we are called out to fix in the Wymondham area, particularly on older clay pantile roofs that are common across Norfolk.

We handle the structural and weatherproofing side of the installation. That means fitting the rail system and anchor points, re-bedding or replacing any disturbed tiles, sealing cable entry points with appropriate flashing, and checking the roof covering in the immediate area for any existing defects that could cause problems once the panels are in place. We co-ordinate with your MCS-accredited electrical installer for the electrical connection and grid tie-in.

Fitting solar panels without a qualified roofer on site risks voiding your home insurance if a leak develops, and it can compromise the integrity of your roof covering around the fixing points. A proper installation protects both your roof and your investment in the panels themselves.

We visit the property before any work begins to assess the roof pitch, orientation, tile type, and condition. Most residential installations across Wymondham and the surrounding villages take one to two days on the roofing side. We leave the roof in a clean, weathertight condition ready for the electrician to complete the system.

The roofing element of a solar panel installation in Norfolk typically costs between £500 and £1,500 depending on the number of panels, roof type, and whether any repairs are needed at the same time. Call us to arrange a free roof survey before your panels are ordered.

Questions

What people ask first.

For an average semi-detached house, budget somewhere between £5,000 and £9,000, depending on the tile or slate choice and roof size. A larger detached house or one with complex hips and valleys will typically fall in the £9,000 to £14,000 range. We provide a written, itemised quote after a free survey so there are no surprises.
A small bungalow typically costs between £4,500 and £7,000 to re-roof, while an average semi-detached house runs from around £6,000 to £10,000. Larger detached properties or those with multiple hips, valleys, or chimney stacks will cost more. We provide a full written quote after a free site survey.
Simple repairs such as replacing a handful of broken tiles or re-pointing a section of ridge typically cost between £150 and £400. If the repair involves forming new lead flashings around a chimney or valley, expect to pay between £300 and £700 depending on the area involved. We'll give you a clear price before any work starts.
GRP fibreglass tends to cost slightly more per square metre than EPDM rubber, but it creates a fully seamless finish that performs very well in exposed locations. Flat roof installation in Wymondham typically runs between £70 and £120 per square metre depending on the system and detailing involved. For most garages and extensions, the difference in material cost between systems is relatively small compared to the labour involved.
For a typical semi-detached house in Wymondham, expect to pay between £1,500 and £3,500 for a full roofline replacement including guttering and downpipes. Larger detached properties or those with hipped roofs will sit at the higher end. We always survey first and give you a written quote before any work starts.
Chimney flashing replacement in Wymondham generally costs between £300 and £700 for a standard single stack, depending on the size of the chimney and the number of lead sections involved. If the surrounding tiles or mortar pointing also need attention, that will be costed separately. We give you a clear written quote after inspecting the stack.
Most chimney rebuilds in Wymondham fall between £1,200 and £3,500, with scaffolding, new brickwork, lead flashing, and a ventilated cap all included. The main variables are the height of the stack and how far down we need to go to reach sound brickwork. We give a fixed price after inspection so you know exactly what you are paying.
Chimney take-downs in Wymondham generally cost between £900 and £2,500 for a standard single stack on a two-storey house, including scaffolding, demolition, and making good the roof covering. Larger stacks or more complex roof coverings such as plain clay tiles will sit at the higher end. We price each job after seeing the stack so there are no surprises.
