Henstead is a scattered rural parish south of Lowestoft, and the properties here — many of them period farmhouses, cottages, and converted outbuildings — often come to us when years of piecemeal repairs have finally run their course.
The parish covers a wide area around Henstead village itself, taking in properties near Hulver Street and towards the Beccles Road corridor. Roof pitches vary considerably between the older vernacular cottages and the occasional detached house built in the last thirty years. On the older stock, it's common to find three or four generations of repair work layered on top of one another, and at that point stripping back to bare timbers and starting fresh is both more reliable and more cost-effective.
Full roof replacements in Henstead typically use natural slate or plain clay tiles to keep in keeping with the rural Suffolk setting — we advise against concrete interlocking tiles on character properties as they rarely look right or add value.
