Needham Market's timber-frame and period properties demand careful, materials-correct roof repairs. Clay plain tile, lime mortar and lead valley work are standard here. We cover Needham Market, Barking and the Gipping valley villages.
Needham Market's High Street is one of the finest in Mid Suffolk — a largely intact run of historic buildings spanning five centuries. The most common repairs here are clay plain tile slippage on the older High Street properties, lead valley replacement on Victorian semis, and chimney stack repointing in lime mortar on the period properties that form the majority of the town's housing stock.
Lime mortar is the correct specification for all repointing work on pre-1920 properties. We carry NHL 3.5 as standard. For tile matching on clay plain tile roofs, we source from our reclaimed stock and can usually find a good match for the weathered Suffolk clay tile profile.
