Mildenhall's housing stock ranges from old market town cottages near the square to large RAF-era and council-built semis on the town's edges, and keeping the roofline watertight matters on all of them.
The older properties in central Mildenhall — particularly the flint and brick terraces off the High Street and around St Mary's — often have narrow, original timber soffits that have been painted over repeatedly until they can no longer breathe. By the time paint starts to bubble, the timber underneath is usually already compromised. We remove the old boards carefully and fit ventilated uPVC replacements that allow airflow into the roof space, reducing condensation as well as preventing rot.
On the post-war semis and bungalows built to house personnel and families connected to RAF Mildenhall, guttering is a consistent weak point — cast-iron sections long since replaced with plastic that is now ageing, cracking at the unions or pulling away from boards. We replace full gutter runs in square-line or half-round profiles to suit the existing style and pitch of each roof.
