Brundall sits on the north bank of the River Yare, and the ground falls away steeply to the south into the Broads. That slope decides a lot about a roof job here: where a scaffold can be built, which side a ladder can safely stand, and how much of a covering you can actually assess from ground level before going up. The village runs mainly along one spine, The Street into Postwick Lane and Strumpshaw Road, with a series of ribs extending north and south off it, the southern ones dropping towards the water. Most of the work we do here is the unglamorous kind: tracing a leak back to where the water really gets in, rebedding ridges, replacing slipped units, renewing lead flashings and valleys, refitting guttering that has dropped out of fall, and full re-roofs where a covering is past patching.
About six miles east of Norwich, the village has two railway stations, Brundall and Brundall Gardens, both on the Wherry Lines with Greater Anglia services towards Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Parts of the parish to the south fall inside the Broads Authority administrative area, so it is worth checking which authority a property sits under before work that needs consent. The parish church of St Lawrence is Grade II* listed and built of flint with stone dressings and slate roofs.
The railways brought the first big wave of building, and the village still has a run of Victorian and Edwardian villas standing on the higher ground above the water. Twentieth-century cul-de-sacs came later, most recently to the north and west, where shallower pitches and flat roofs over garages and extensions are the everyday jobs.
