Kesgrave is one of Ipswich's fastest-growing suburbs, and the large number of 1970s, 1980s and 1990s detached and semi-detached homes means that original roofline materials are now reaching the end of their useful life across much of the town.
Properties built during Kesgrave's main expansion — particularly around Dobbs Lane, Kesgrave Road and the streets off Main Road — were fitted with roofline timber that has now been in place for 30 to 40 years. Soffits on these houses are often the first to show trouble: the boards were typically nailed rather than clipped, and once moisture gets in, they drop away from the fascia and leave the rafter feet exposed. Replacing timber soffits with vented uPVC boards also improves loft ventilation, which matters in the well-insulated homes common in this area.
Kesgrave's leafy roads mean gutters fill with debris from overhanging oaks and silver birches every autumn, and a blocked gutter that freezes in January can pull the bracket fixings clean out of a softened fascia board. We cover the whole of Kesgrave including its border with Martlesham Heath, and we'll give you a straightforward written quote before any work starts.
