Newmarket is a working racing town: two racecourses, around 70 training yards, some 3,000 horses and more than 60 stud farms. Devil's Dyke, an earthwork built by Anglo-Saxons in the seventh century, crosses Newmarket Heath between the two courses, and anyone who has stood on that open ground in February knows what the wind does here. It gets under a loose ridge tile, lifts a felt edge and works a slipped tile out of the course until the batten below it starts to rot. Roofs on an exposed edge like that want looking at before winter, not after. We re-lay tiling, sort ridges and verges, renew lead flashings and valleys, refit gutters and downpipes, and take on full re-roofs. Same on the yard and stud farm buildings, where a leak lands on horses and feed rather than a front room.
Newmarket lies 14 miles west of Bury St Edmunds and the same distance north-east of Cambridge. Newmarket railway station is on the Ipswich to Ely line. Newmarket Town Hall, built in 1830 in brick with a stucco finish, has been Grade II listed since 1984, and listed buildings like it are scattered through the centre, so consent is worth checking before anyone changes a roof covering.
The listed pair at 84 and 86 High Street is early 19th century, with a plaintiled roof and flat lead-roofed dormers with sash windows. On a roof built like that pair, tiling repairs and leadwork come as one job rather than two, and the dormer flats are usually where the water gets in first.
