New roofs, repairs and leadwork across Southwold, Reydon and the villages down the Suffolk coast.
Southwold
Southwold is a seaside town about 11 miles down the coast from our base in Lowestoft. We work for homeowners, holiday-let owners and businesses in the town, Reydon and the villages along the coast.
With the sea on three sides, roofs here take a lot of weather, and many of them are on period buildings where the look really matters.

Pitched roofingOwners often aren’t here to see a problem. We send photos of what we find and the finished work, and a written price before we start.
Roof repairsReydon has plenty of bungalows, extensions and garages with flat roofs that can be rebuilt as a warm roof.
Flat roofingMost of Southwold’s centre is a conservation area, and every roof here faces salt air and strong winds.
