Wickhambrook is a sprawling Suffolk village of scattered greens and farmsteads, and its older properties — many in exposed positions on the high clay plateau — take a real battering from the weather each winter.
Unlike more compact villages, Wickhambrook has properties spread across more than a dozen greens including Genesis Green, Attleton Green and Nunnery Green, and many are substantial period farmhouses or cottages with wide eaves and original timber rooflines. On these exposed sites the prevailing westerly wind drives rain hard into the fascia boards, accelerating decay significantly — we find rot behind seemingly sound paintwork on properties here more than almost anywhere else in our area.
Replacing failing timber with properly ventilated uPVC soffits makes a real difference to roof void health, and on larger period houses we typically use deep ogee guttering to handle the higher water volumes from big roof pitches. We know this part of West Suffolk well and can usually reach Wickhambrook within half an hour from Haverhill. Call us to arrange a free inspection.
