Somerleyton is one of Suffolk's most distinctive estate villages, sitting on the edge of the Broads just west of Lowestoft, and the character of its housing stock shapes every roofing decision we make here.
Much of the village was rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century as part of the Somerleyton Hall estate, giving it a strong identity of ornate thatched and plain-tiled cottages with steep pitches and decorative bargeboards. Where new roofs are needed — on outbuildings, stable conversions, extensions or cottages that have lost their original covering — we work with materials that respect that visual character, including hand-made plain clay tiles that match the existing roofscape. We're familiar with the expectation of considered craftsmanship this kind of village demands.
The low-lying position near Fritton Lake and the Waveney valley also means moisture management matters; we detail eaves, verges and flashings properly to handle the humidity levels common in this part of the Broads fringe.
