Cromer is North Norfolk's best-known seaside town, famous for its pier, its crabs and the tower of the Church of St Peter and St Paul, the tallest church tower in Norfolk. The town's historic core of narrow streets and flint cottages around the church gives way to grand Victorian hotels and villas, built when the railway brought visitors to the 'Poppyland' coast.
That mix of buildings calls for a wide range of work. In the older streets that means repairing flint and brick walls, re-roofing in clay pantiles and slate, and renovating cottages that have been altered many times over the years. In the larger Victorian and Edwardian houses we carry out extensions, loft conversions, kitchen and bathroom refits and full renovations, including upgrades to holiday lets.
Cromer's position on the cliffs means homes face wind, salt and driving rain, so we pay particular attention to roofs, gutters, pointing and render. Much of the town centre is a conservation area with a good number of listed buildings, and our experience with period and listed properties helps when work needs consent or sympathetic materials.
Cromer is around 10 miles from our Holt base, about 20 minutes by road, and we cover the surrounding villages too, including Overstrand, East Runton, Northrepps and Roughton.
Typical jobs in Cromer include converting lofts in Victorian villas, extending terraced cottages at the rear, refitting holiday-let kitchens and bathrooms between bookings, re-roofing exposed seafront properties, and repairing render and pointing damaged by salt and spray. We manage every trade ourselves, from groundworks to decoration, so you have a single team to deal with throughout.
