Corton's exposed clifftop position on the Suffolk coast means its homes take a battering from salt-laden winds — and timber fascias and guttering suffer faster here than almost anywhere else we work.
Most of the housing in Corton sits in tight rows of inter-war and post-war semis along Corton Road and the lanes running towards the cliff edge. The combination of sea spray and prevailing easterlies accelerates timber rot and splits uPVC joints, leaving fascias crumbling and gutters pulling away from the roofline within a few years of installation if the wrong materials are used. We specify marine-grade fixings and robust uPVC profiles designed for coastal exposure.
Blocked or misaligned gutters on these properties quickly push water back into the eaves, and we regularly find damp spreading into loft insulation on homes just a street back from the beach. We offer a free roofline inspection for Corton householders — call us to arrange a visit before the autumn rains arrive.
