Full Re-Roof in Downham Market, Norfolk
A full re-roof in premium alternative slates on a home in Downham Market, completed in August 2025. Every photo below was taken on site by our team.
The job
This Downham Market home was stripped back and re-roofed in premium alternative slates in August 2025. Alternative slates give the clean look of natural slate with consistent sizing and a lighter weight.
Underneath, we fitted a high-performance breathable membrane and improved the roof's ventilation. A roof that can breathe stays drier inside, which protects the timbers and the insulation for years to come.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Downham Market and King's Lynn?
Yes. Downham Market, King's Lynn and the surrounding villages are all inside the area we cover. We carry out free surveys and fixed written quotes, call 01733 964623.
What are alternative slates?
Man-made slates that give the look of natural slate with consistent sizing and a lighter weight. They are a popular choice for a clean, modern finish at a lower cost than natural slate.
How long does a full re-roof take?
Less time than you might expect. Arkenstone has teams of more than 20 roofers, so a project that would take most firms one to two weeks on site is finished far sooner, to the same exacting standard and at a competitive price. You will get a clear timescale with your written quote and an update every day we are on the job.
Is the work checked by anyone independent?
Yes. Every full re-roof we carry out is third-party checked by Building Control, so you get independent proof the job was done properly, on top of our 20-year written guarantee.
