Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.

Can you work on commercial premises around market-hill businesses?

Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.

How long will the work take?

A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.

Our roof is listed timber-framed buildings — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. listed timber-framed buildings is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

How soon can someone look at a leak in IP13?

Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.

Typical jobs on listed timber-framed buildings

Historic market square, listed buildings and farmhouses.

Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on castle-adjacent period roofs — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Matching historic coverings
Period and listed buildings near Framlingham need like-for-like coverings and correct detailing; we'll flag where East Suffolk Council consent may be required.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Framlingham call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.

Our working method

Inspection first
Nothing is priced before someone has been on the roof or a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the covering is finished, we explain why rather than patching indefinitely.
Specification in writing
Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed, so quotes from other Suffolk firms can be compared properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared, and the site tidied before we invoice.
