Perched on one of the Isle of Ely's low ridges, Sutton gets more wind exposure than most Cambridgeshire villages, which takes a heavy toll on older roofs over time.
The high street and surrounding lanes hold a good number of Victorian and Edwardian properties with plain clay tiles, plus a range of mid-century bungalows where flat or shallow-pitch sections often sit alongside a main tiled roof. Wind-driven rain on exposed elevations works loose pointing and lifts tiles faster here than in more sheltered spots, and we see a lot of roofs in Sutton where the felt underlay has long since rotted away, leaving no secondary barrier at all.
Replacing a roof in Sutton gives you the chance to upgrade to a breathable membrane underlay and correctly specified battens — a meaningful improvement over what most 1960s and 70s builds originally had.
