Linton's High Street runs down to the River Granta and back up the other side, and the roofs along it are predominantly clay plain tile. That matters when you are working here. Plain tile wants the right pitch and sound battens, and a slipped or cracked tile on an old roof is rarely a lone problem. Around The Grip there is long straw thatch, so work on a roof next to it has to be planned with that in mind. We cover Linton for repairs, re-roofing, ridge and verge work, valleys, flashings, chimney leadwork and guttering. On the older properties we match what is already up there rather than putting back whatever is cheapest, and we will say straight out whether a patch repair will hold or whether a section needs stripping and relaying.
The A1307 bypasses the village and is the main Haverhill to Cambridge road, so we can get a crew and materials over quickly. Its embankment aggravated flooding problems that had long plagued the village, and a flood control scheme followed. The B1052 runs through Linton itself. The conservation area was designated in 1972 and contains around 100 listed buildings, which shapes what you are allowed to put back after a strip. We also cover Hildersham, Bartlow and Hadstock.
A good number of the older cottages are 15th, 16th and 17th century, rising to one and a half storeys with dormers, and those dormers traditionally have pitched plain tile roofs. There is also some Welsh slate and pantile. Walls are mostly render, often over timber framing, so fixings at the wall head need care.
