The buildings
Houses in Southwold.
A coastal town almost entirely within a conservation area: Georgian and Victorian brick, painted render, flint, Suffolk white brick and clay pantiles, with the greens, the lighthouse and the seafront. Reydon adjoins it inland and has the bungalows and later houses that Southwold does not.
We are based at Heveningham, about 14 miles away, and most of our work is within this distance of the yard.

Questions about Southwold
Is Southwold a conservation area?
Most of the town is. External alterations and extensions usually need planning permission and are judged on how they sit with the street.
Can you work on a seafront or exposed property?
Yes. Salt, wind and driving rain mean render, pointing, joinery and roof fixings need specifying for the coast, and we do.
Do you work in Reydon?
Yes. We have worked in Reydon and it is a short drive from us.
Can you park and store materials in Southwold?
Access and storage are tight in the town. We plan deliveries and welfare around it and agree the arrangements with you and the neighbours before starting.
