About KI Roofing
Norfolk & Suffolk’s Trusted Roofing Family Since 1989

The KI Roofing Story
When Karl Innes founded KI Roofing in 1989, he vowed to prioritise craftsmanship over shortcuts and treat every home like his own. Today, that ethos still guides our family-run team across every project – from Norwich period property restorations to emergency repairs in Great Yarmouth.
We’re proud to be:
Local craftsmen, not a faceless chain
Problem-solvers who deliver lasting fixes
Community-rooted (90% of materials sourced from East Anglian suppliers)

Thanks again Karl. Natasha Forster2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karl and his team are amazing. Great craftsmanship. Always there when he says he going to be. Excellent attention to detail and I love my velux windows. Karl is coming back this week to do more work for us. Angela Stalham2025-04-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would not hesitate to recommend Karl & his team. We first met them when we had some velux windows fitted at our last house. Than approximately 10 years ago they worked on a large extension on our new house. When we decided about 2 years ago that the slate roof on the old part of the house which was over 100 years old really had to be replaced we did not hesitate but to contact Karl again. He & his teams were so easy to have around with minimal disruption, keeping us well informed & always leaving things tidy. They stayed with us until the job was completed & at the end the house looked fabulous & at a very competitive price. I have recommended them to friends who have also always been pleased with their work. Phil paston2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K I Roofing recently installed two new roofs at my property, one on a brick workshop and one on a large double hipped garden room. The whole process was painless from start to finish. Karl called round to survey the work and helpfully suggested some alternatives that I had not considered. He very promptly provided me with a quote to complete the work. The quote was very competitive and included everything – no hidden extras. The team took care of all the ordering and deliveries and the erecting of scaffolding. I was consulted and kept informed throughout the process. Karl and his team turned up when they said they would and were there every day until the work was completed. The whole team were respectful of my property and of my neighbors. I found them to be friendly, straight forward, courteous and professional to deal with. My Wife and I are very pleased. Both roofs look amazing. These guys really know what they are doing. I would have no hesitation in recommending them if you are looking for experienced professionals who have the experience to do an excellent job , do it right first time and at a very competitive price. thank you Karl and all at K I Roofing for a great job. Highly recommended ! Gary Mann2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve used KI Roofing multiple times and Karl has consistently delivered a 5-star service. He’s thorough, professional, and always takes the time to explain things clearly. The quality of the work is absolutely faultless — it’s clear that attention to detail and high standards are a priority. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend KI Roofing to anyone looking for reliable and top-quality roofing work Paul Terrington2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K I roofing done a very good job on our roof they were clean and tidy very friendly and courteous would recommend them Alexandra Young2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met Karl in the late 90s on a building project we were both involved in. Our friendship and respect for each other has grown throughout the years As a general builder you need a good team of tradesman around you to compliment your work. Karl ticks that box 100%!! Having someone who understands what is required and will always go above and beyond to make the job perfect. Trust is a big factor in our work and knowing Karl and his guys can be left to not only carry out the work required to a very high standard and leave the place spotless they also have a great customer relationship and will keep them updated on works as they proceed. A genuine old school tradesman with old school morals something that I fortunately is being forgotten. May we continue to work along side for many years to come Couple of pics of Karl’s work that he’s carried out for me Neil Ashley2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karl the Roofer: The Ninja of Shingles If there were a Hall of Fame for roofers, Karl would not only be inducted, but he'd have his own wing, complete with a red carpet made of shingles. Watching Karl work is like seeing an ancient kung fu master in action—if ninjas wore tool belts and wielded petrol disc cutters instead of nunchucks. His valleys are so true, they could double as a spirit level. His hips are crafted with such finesse, they make Michelangelo's David look like a rough draft. And his disc cutter work? It's the stuff of legends—rumor has it, even the tiles whisper his name in awe. But wait, there's more! Not only does Karl deliver roofs that are architectural masterpieces, but he also does it without emptying your wallet. Yes, you heard it right—Karl is the rare combination of a roofing genius and a bargain hunter's dream. So, if you want a roof that’s the envy of the neighborhood and a budget-friendly marvel, Karl is your guy. Just be ready for your neighbours to start asking if they can borrow your ninja roofer; and for passers by to stop and stare in disbelief at your new work of art.
Our Core Values
What Makes KI Roofing Different
Craftsmanship Over Cutting Corners
We use traditional roofing techniques perfected over 35 years, whether it’s matching original tiles on a Norwich terrace or repairing leadwork on a farmhouse. If it’s not done right, it’s not done at all.
Preserve Your Home’s Character
Specialists in period properties, we blend heritage skills with modern materials to ensure your roof looks right and lasts longer.
Straightforward & Honest
No jargon, no pressure – just clear advice from Karl himself. We’ll tell you if a repair will last five years or fifty, and our fixed-price quotes mean no nasty surprises.
The Personal Touch
You’ll always speak to someone who knows roofing – often Karl himself. We answer calls, show up on time, and stand by our work with industry-leading guarantees.
Treat Homes Like Our Own
We tarp up daily, clean meticulously, and protect your property as if it were ours. Many of our team live locally in Norfolk – we’re roofing our neighbours.
Proudly Local
We source materials from East Anglian suppliers whenever possible, train local apprentices, and reinvest in the communities we serve across Norfolk.
