Holkham is defined by its extraordinary estate — the Holkham Hall parkland stretches across thousands of acres between Wells and Burnham Market, and much of the housing in the parish consists of estate cottages built in the distinctive yellow brick that Thomas Coke and his successors favoured in the nineteenth century. These well-built but ageing properties have specific roofing needs: Welsh slate is common on the estate cottages, ridges and flashings need periodic attention, and any work must respect the character that the Holkham Estate quite reasonably expects to be maintained. We have experience working on estate and tied-cottage properties in this part of Norfolk and understand the importance of liaising correctly with estate management where required.

Holkham Beach is one of the most visited stretches of coast in Norfolk, but the village itself is almost entirely within the Holkham Estate — meaning most residential roofing enquiries come from estate tenants or from properties on the estate fringe near the A149.
Primarily nineteenth-century yellow brick estate cottages with Welsh slate roofs, along with some larger farm buildings and the occasional converted stable block. Very few modern private dwellings exist within the immediate Holkham parish.
