New roofs and re-roofing on Mildenhall property
Post war concrete tile estates, fen edge bungalows at Beck Row and West Row, and clay tile and slate in the older centre. Which of those you have decides whether a re-roof is a straight strip and re-cover or something with more timber work in it.
New roofs and re-roofing on Mildenhall roofs
The job we get called for most around Mildenhall is mortar failure. Bedded ridge and verge mortar cracks, water gets behind it, the batten ends rot and then the whole edge of the roof starts to lift. It is a straightforward fix if it is caught, and a re-roof if it is not.
The part of a re-roof nobody sees is the part that matters. Once the covering is off you can see every rafter foot, every purlin end and every bit of wall plate. That is where rot hides, and it is the one moment in a roof's life when putting it right is straightforward. We photograph what we find and price it before we carry on.
It matters here because flat, open and dry, with the wind coming straight off the fen., which is why coverings around Mildenhall tend to reach the end of their life at the edges and the ridge before the middle.
What the job includes
- Every rafter, purlin and wall plate inspected once the roof is open
- Your choice of covering, with the options and the price difference explained
- New treated battens and a breathable membrane throughout
- Guttering reset or replaced, and everything cleared off site
- Full strip of the existing covering, battens and underlay
Signs to look for
- The roof is thirty years old or more and has never been touched
- More than a handful of tiles or slates have slipped in the last two winters
- There are several damp patches rather than one

FAQs
New roofs and re-roofing in Mildenhall: your questions
Is my house exposed while the work is going on?
No. We only strip what we can re-cover or sheet up, and the roof is made watertight at the end of every working day. That is a working rule, not an extra.
How long does a re-roof take?
A standard three bedroom semi is usually four to six working days on site once the scaffolding is up, weather permitting. A larger detached house or a property with several elevations and valleys is more like one to two weeks.
Do you do new roofs and re-roofing in Mildenhall?
Yes. Mildenhall is one of the towns we cover as standard, along with Beck Row, West Row, Holywell Row and the villages around them.
