Capel St Mary's 1970s–90s housing is at the age where ridge mortar failures and nail-sick concrete tiles are routine. We cover Capel St Mary, Copdock and south Suffolk — free surveys, honest assessments.
Capel St Mary is one of the largest south Suffolk villages with a housing stock almost entirely from the 1970s–90s. The elevated, exposed position above the Stour valley means higher wind loading than sheltered locations — tile fixings and mortar bedding are tested more severely here.
The 1970s properties are now 45–55 years old. At this age, nail corrosion is widespread, ridge mortar has failed on most properties, and underfelt has degraded. A roof that looks fine from the ground can be significantly compromised structurally. Free surveys confirm the actual condition.
