Newmarket's roofscape tells the story of the racing industry — from the grand Victorian villas along the Bury Road to the stable yard conversions and terraced worker housing that fills the town's residential streets.
The larger detached and semi-detached properties on the west side of Newmarket, particularly around Queensberry Road and the Bury Road corridor, often have substantial chimney stacks serving multiple fireplaces, with lead flashings that were installed during original construction and haven't been properly attended to since. On the tightly packed terraces around Exeter Road and the town centre, shared valley gutters between adjoining roofs are a frequent source of leaks when the lead lifts or the mortar cap fails.
We work across Newmarket from our Mildenhall base and carry out all lead work by hand to Lead Sheet Association guidelines. We're experienced with the variety of roof pitches and brick types you find in Newmarket — from hard Suffolk whites to softer lime-mortared Victorian stock. Call us for a free chimney flashing or valley inspection.
