Ipswich Waterfront is the town's regenerated dock district — a mix of converted warehouse apartments, modern new-build and commercial-to-residential conversions. Flat roof systems, roof terraces and modern cladding junctions are our speciality here.
Ipswich Waterfront represents the most significant regeneration of the town centre in recent decades — the historic wet dock basin transformed into a residential, leisure and commercial quarter with a mix of converted warehouses, purpose-built apartment blocks and contemporary town houses. The roofing profile here is entirely different from the suburban housing stock.
Flat roof systems dominate — EPDM and modern felt on apartment blocks, exposed roof terraces with waterproofing membranes, and flashings at the junction between modern cladding systems and traditional masonry. These systems require different expertise from pitched tile and slate work, and we have carried out significant flat roof maintenance and repair work across several Waterfront developments.
Adjacent to the Waterfront regeneration, Ipswich's old town around Tavern Street, Key Street and Silent Street preserves a significant concentration of pre-Victorian and early Victorian buildings. These properties carry clay plain tile and Welsh slate roofs maintained over many generations — often with a complex repair history that requires careful assessment before any new work. We work on these heritage properties with the same care and appropriate materials as our rural period property work.

"Period property on the old town fringe — clay tile repair and lime mortar chimney repoint. They sourced matching reclaimed tiles and used the right mortar. Proper care taken on an old building."
