Lakenheath is a Suffolk village that has grown considerably around the presence of RAF Lakenheath, the largest US Air Force base in the UK, and that shapes the housing stock considerably — there is a high proportion of 1950s and 1960s-built properties, both on the base perimeter and in the village itself, alongside older flint and brick cottages typical of the Breckland and Fenland border area. We travel to Lakenheath from Downham Market, around 14 miles to the north-east, and we're experienced in working on both the traditional flint-faced properties that need careful ridge and mortar work, and the flat or shallow-pitch roofs found on many of the mid-century homes. Demand for roofing work in Lakenheath is consistent, partly because the village's population has grown without a proportionate increase in local trade coverage.

RAF Lakenheath is home to the United States Air Force's 48th Fighter Wing and is the largest USAF base in the UK. This gives the village a distinctly international character, with a population mix that turns over relatively frequently, meaning property maintenance — including roofing — is in consistent demand.
Mix of traditional Suffolk flint and brick cottages in the older village core, with a significant proportion of 1950s–70s housing associated with the village's growth during the RAF base's expansion. Some newer housing on the village edges.
