Typical jobs on post-war housing

Town housing, bungalows and base-related properties.

  • Domestic and commercial in one visit

    Homes and small commercial premises in Mildenhall are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.

  • Split and blistered felt

    Old bitumen felt on Mildenhall extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

  • Wind-driven debris damage

    Open ground either side of the A11 means grit and debris get thrown at Mildenhall roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.

  • Roof-light degradation

    GRP roof-lights on Mildenhall units go brittle and crack, which is a leak and a safety problem at once for anyone who has to get on the roof.

Our working method

  1. Inspection first

    Nothing on a Mildenhall roof is priced before somebody has been on it or had a ladder over it.

  2. Honest recommendation

    If a repair on the Mildenhall roof will hold, that is what you'll be told, and if the covering is finished you get the reason for it rather than an endless run of patches.

  3. Specification in writing

    Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed on the Mildenhall quote, so prices from other Suffolk firms can be compared against it properly.

  4. Clean handover

    Scaffold struck, gutters cleared and the Mildenhall site tidied before an invoice goes out.

Practical answers before you book

Will you patch our Mildenhall roof, or push a full replacement?
Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Mildenhall property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
Does the exposure around Mildenhall change what you'd specify?
Yes. Out on the fen edge at Mildenhall wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they would in a sheltered street.
How long does roof work in Mildenhall take?
A repair in Mildenhall 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.
Can you work on commercial premises in Mildenhall and around Mildenhall industrial estate?
Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Mildenhall, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Suffolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
Our Mildenhall roof is post-war housing, is that a problem?
Not at all, that is ordinary for Mildenhall. Post-war housing is among the most common things we work on in West Suffolk Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
