Roofing in Newmarket

The recognised home of British horse racing. Alongside the usual domestic stock there is a large amount of equestrian and agricultural roofing here that most domestic roofers never touch, and we do both.

Local knowledge

Newmarket building stock, and what it does to a roof

The mix of ages and materials here is what decides the job. This is what we actually find.

Property typeWhereWhat fails, and why
Victorian terracesAll saints road and off the high streetSlate nail fatigue and shared valley gutters between terraces.
Edwardian villasFordham roadLarge hipped roofs with complex lead hips and long runs of cast iron guttering.
Stable blocks and stud buildingsAcross cb8 and out to kentford and moultonLong low slate and profiled-sheet roofs, and flat roofs over tack and feed stores that leak onto stored bedding.
Interwar and post-war stockAround the town centreConcrete tiles at end of life and mortar-bedded ridges.

Exposure

The open ground around the gallops and the studs gives almost no wind break, so exposed ridges, verges and large low-pitch spans take a lot more load than the sheltered town centre. We spec the fixings for it.

Conservation and consent

Newmarket has conservation areas covering the High Street and parts of the historic training yards, with West Suffolk Council as the planning authority. Stud and stable buildings frequently sit inside them.

Why local knowledge matters in Newmarket

Knowing Newmarket saves you money in ways that are not obvious from a quote. It means knowing which pantile or slate actually matches what is already on your roof, so a repair does not announce itself from the pavement. It means knowing that All Saints Road and off the High Street tends to produce slate nail fatigue and shared valley gutters between terraces, so we survey for that first instead of finding it halfway through. It means knowing West Suffolk Council is the planning authority and what that means before you commit to a material. And it means knowing the access: the open ground around the gallops and the studs gives almost no wind break, so exposed ridges, verges and large low-pitch spans take a lot more load than the sheltered town centre. we spec the fixings for it.

How quickly can you get to Newmarket?

Which postcodes do you cover around Newmarket?

We work the whole of CB8, including Exning, Kentford, Moulton, Cheveley, the Studlands area. If your postcode is not in that range, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can service it.

Do you need planning permission for roof work in Newmarket?

Stud and stable buildings frequently sit inside them. Like-for-like replacement is normally permitted development, and we will tell you which applies before you commit.

Yes. A single slipped tile is still worth doing properly, and it is usually how we meet the people we later re-roof for. The survey is free either way.
