Living alongside the Broad is one of the great pleasures of Oulton Broad, but the moisture-laden air that comes with a waterside location accelerates timber roofline decay faster than almost anywhere else in the Lowestoft area.
The housing stock around Oulton Broad ranges from Victorian and Edwardian villas close to the water on Nicholas Everitt Park to post-war bungalows and inter-war semis along Beccles Road and Bridge Road. Bungalows in particular suffer with fascia and soffit problems because their lower, shallower roof pitches collect debris in gutters more readily, and the roofline is closer to ground-level moisture. We see accelerated timber rot on properties within a few streets of the Broad itself, and we always recommend a full uPVC system replacement rather than patch repairs in these situations.
Blocked or cracked guttering on Oulton Broad properties can direct water straight into the brickwork above bay windows and into the top of cavity walls, which is a costly problem once it takes hold. We clear and inspect gutters as part of every roofline quote, and we carry most standard uPVC profiles on the van for same-week fitting. Call us for a free survey at your Oulton Broad home.
