How soon can someone look at a leak in IP7?

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.

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.

Can you work on commercial premises around Lady Lane industrial estate?

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.

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.

Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?

Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.

Typical jobs on listed timber-framed buildings

Listed timber-framed buildings and village housing.

Roof-light degradation
GRP roof-lights go brittle and crack, which is both a leak and a safety issue for anyone accessing the roof.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on listed timber-framed buildings, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
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 Hadleigh need like-for-like coverings and correct detailing; we'll flag where Babergh District Council consent may be required.

Coverings suited to Hadleigh

Concrete interlocking tiles: The standard on post-war and modern estates. Clipped at verges and eaves where exposure demands it.
Torch-on felt systems: Multi-layer bitumen for larger flats and outbuildings where a robust, repairable finish suits the budget.
Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles: Traditional coverings common across East Anglia; re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with matched replacements where tiles are salvageable.
