Claydon's 1970s–90s housing stock is producing regular ridge mortar failures as it ages. We cover Claydon, Great Blakenham, Barham and the Mid Suffolk corridor north of Ipswich.
Claydon's housing — predominantly 1970s, 1980s and 1990s detached and semi-detached — is now well into the maintenance phase. Ridge mortar failure is the most common repair job, particularly on estates along Thornhill Road and Great Blakenham Road where the original bedding has dried and cracked after decades of freeze-thaw cycling.
The valley setting means damp conditions accelerate moss growth, which in turn accelerates mortar deterioration. Properties in Claydon typically need ridge attention earlier than equivalent properties on drier high ground.
