Lavenham's extraordinary medieval timber-framed buildings require a careful approach to any roofing work, and flat roofing on modern additions here demands both skill and sensitivity.
The village's famous crooked streetscapes are largely listed or in a conservation area, but behind the medieval frontages many properties have twentieth-century rear extensions with felt flat roofs that are failing quietly out of sight. Garages and utility rooms added to Lavenham cottages in the 1970s and 1980s are a particularly common source of damp ingress in this area, and matching new materials to an older host building requires some thought about colour and finish. We also cover neighbouring villages including Long Melford, Monks Eleigh and Bildeston.
Where planning or listed building consent is required for roof work in Lavenham, we advise clients on this before starting and can liaise with Babergh District Council on straightforward cases. We use low-profile GRP and EPDM finishes that don't visually intrude on historic settings. Call us for a free flat roof survey at your Lavenham property.
