The walls across Clare's historic core are principally rendered to reflect the timber frame construction behind them, and the town has fine examples of timber-framed houses from the 14th to the 16th centuries. At the Ancient House, a medieval timber-framed building, that plasterwork is partly pargeted. Roofs on buildings like these leave little room for error, because rain has to be taken clear of soft render and old oak rather than allowed to run down a wall. We handle slipped and cracked tiles, tired valleys, lead and chimney work, and gutters that have stopped doing their job. Where a roof has had years of patching, we will say so and price the proper fix instead.
The A1092 passes through the centre of Clare and links the town west to Haverhill, 7.9 miles away, and east to Long Melford and Sudbury, so we are a short run out either way. There are 133 listed buildings in Clare and over 40 of them are 16th-century or earlier, with the heart of the town a conservation area, so consents and matching materials need checking before work is specified. Clare Castle Country Park contains the only decommissioned railway station built within a castle in the UK.
Plain tiles are the predominant roofing material on the earliest buildings here, and a significant number of roofs are slated. Much of the old town runs as linked terraced forms, with roofs varying from gable ends set at right angles to the road to ridges running parallel with it, so one property's repair often sits hard against the neighbour's, and battens, flashings and verges need matching rather than guessing.
