Our working method
Site survey and risk assessment
Access, fragile surfaces and working-at-height arrangements assessed for the premises around market-hill businesses.
Report with photographs
You get a written condition report you can put in front of a landlord, insurer or board.
Phased works
Larger roofs split into phases so the building keeps operating while work proceeds.
Maintenance plan
An optional inspection cycle afterwards so the next problem is found in a survey rather than a downpour.

Matching historic coverings

Reactive vs planned maintenance
Repeated call-outs to a Framlingham site usually cost more than a planned inspection cycle, so both are quoted and the numbers can be compared.
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.
Roof-light degradation
GRP roof-lights on Framlingham units go brittle and crack, which is a leak and a safety problem at once for anyone who has to get on the roof.
Practical answers before you book
- Is a gutter lining cheaper than replacement?
- Almost always, and on large-span roofs it's frequently the fix that stops the leak. We price both so the comparison is yours to make.
- Can you set up a maintenance schedule?
- We can quote a planned inspection cycle with a written report each visit, so budgeting is predictable instead of reactive.
- Do you take on agricultural buildings?
- Yes. Barns, stores and packhouses around Framlingham are common work, sheet replacement, overlay systems, roof-lights and gutter runs.
- How long does roof work in Framlingham take?
- A repair in Framlingham is often the same day, while a full re-cover on a typical house here runs to a matter of days once scaffold is up, with indicative dates given on the quote and confirmed when the materials are ordered.
- Our Framlingham roof is listed timber-framed buildings, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Framlingham. Listed timber-framed buildings is among the most common things we work on in East Suffolk Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
