Southery sits on slightly raised ground in the Fens, and its housing stock — from Victorian brick terraces to detached bungalows — faces the full brunt of easterly winds sweeping across flat farmland.
The fenland wind loading in Southery is a genuine factor when specifying a new roof. Ridge tiles and verge mortar work that would last twenty years in a sheltered spot can fail here in half the time. When we install a new roof in the village we use mechanically fixed dry-verge and dry-ridge systems as standard, which outperform mortar in exposed conditions and reduce future maintenance considerably.
Southery has a good number of post-war bungalows where the original felt underlay has long since degraded, meaning the tiles themselves are the only barrier against rain. We can strip, re-batten with treated timber, lay breathable underlay, and re-tile in materials matching the existing look. Contact us for a no-obligation roof survey and written quote.
