Southwold

Roofing in 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.

Southwold

The roofs we see most in Southwold

Period town houses, holiday homes and the newer streets of Reydon.

Period town houses

The older streets and greens are full of clay pantiles and natural slate. We match new materials to what’s already there so the work blends in.

Pitched roofing

Holiday lets and second homes

Owners 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 repairs

Reydon homes and extensions

Reydon has plenty of bungalows, extensions and garages with flat roofs that can be rebuilt as a warm roof.

Flat roofing

Sea air and a conservation area

Most of Southwold’s centre is a conservation area, and every roof here faces salt air and strong winds.

  • Ridges, verges and leadwork fixed for the coastal weather
  • Materials chosen to suit the conservation area
  • We check at the survey what the council is likely to expect

Cladding work

“Aiden and his team quoted me for some cladding work we wanted. Quote was good so asked him to proceed, Aiden advised the work would not be completed until March. They then he called and came round this week and completed the work. Fantastic job looks great and the work area was left clean and tidy. Highly recommend Aiden and his team for any roofing or cladding work. Thank you and your team”
