Icklingham is one of the smallest and oldest settlements in the Breckland area, and the homes here — many of them flint, chalk block or traditional Suffolk brick — need repair work done with the right materials and a careful hand.
Sitting between Mildenhall and Bury St Edmunds on the A1101, Icklingham has a handful of period properties that predate most modern roofing materials by a century or more. Flint-faced walls, peg-tiled roofs and lime mortar pointing are all things we work with regularly. Using the wrong cement mix on old mortar ridges in a building like this can cause more problems than it solves — we always match the spec to the building.
Icklingham's open, exposed position on the edge of the Breckland means roofs here take a battering from south-westerly gales. Ridge and hip tile displacement is the most common call-out we receive in this area. We offer free surveys for Icklingham properties — call us to arrange a visit and we'll give you an honest assessment with no obligation.
