Lavenham is one of England's best-preserved medieval wool towns, and working on its rooftops demands a level of care and material knowledge that not every roofing contractor can offer.
The majority of properties along Water Street, Shilling Street and the market square are listed buildings where repairs must use appropriate traditional materials — handmade plain peg tiles, lime mortar pointing and natural slate rather than modern substitutes. We work in close reference to conservation guidelines and can liaise with planners where approval is needed before repair work begins.
Even unlisted cottages on the village fringes are often timber-framed with shallow-pitched roofs, where any displacement of tiles risks allowing wind-driven water into the frame structure before it's noticed. Roof repairs in Lavenham on a typical listed cottage range from £300 to £1,200 depending on access and materials required. If you've spotted a slipped tile or damp patch on a ceiling, call us for a free inspection before it worsens.
