Kessingland is a quiet coastal village south of Lowestoft where bungalows make up a large proportion of the housing stock, and low-pitched rooflines mean failing fascias and blocked guttering cause damp problems remarkably quickly.
Because so many Kessingland properties are bungalows — particularly on the village's eastern side near the beach and along Church Road — there's less height between the guttering and the ground, which makes it tempting to ignore the problem until the damp appears inside. Timber fascias on 1960s and 1970s bungalows here are frequently bare at the back where they've never been painted, and once rot sets in it spreads to the rafter ends within a single wet winter. We replace like-for-like with uPVC boards and soffits with ventilation slots where needed to keep the roof space breathing correctly.
Kessingland sits between Lowestoft and Southwold and we're on site quickly from our Lowestoft base — usually within a few days for an initial survey. Guttering on bungalows in coastal villages like Kessingland typically costs £400–£750 for a full replacement, depending on the perimeter run. Call us for an accurate figure on your property.
