Preserving the rooftops of this historic Essex market town
Saffron Walden is one of England's best-preserved medieval market towns, and at just 8 miles from our Haverhill base, we're virtually neighbours. With nearly 900 years of continuous market trading since 1141, this historic town's enchanting streetscape of timber-framed buildings, elaborate pargetting, and traditional rooftops tells the story of centuries of prosperity.
From the famous Grade I listed Old Sun Inn at the crossroads of Church Street and Market Hill – with its stunning 17th-century pargetting featuring birds and fruit in bas-relief – to the timber-framed properties along Castle Street dating from around 1500, Saffron Walden's historic core demands specialist knowledge of traditional roofing materials and conservation requirements. Much of the town centre is a conservation area, and we understand the responsibility of maintaining these treasured properties.
But Saffron Walden isn't just about heritage. We're equally experienced with the town's modern developments, from The Waldens – the sympathetic conversion of the former Friends' School into 96 homes with apartments in the historic building – to the new estates at Poppy View on Thaxted Road (150 Bellway homes) and Mandeville Crescent. Whether you live in a medieval property near the Market Place, a Georgian townhouse on Castle Street, a Victorian terrace around Abbey Lane, or a brand-new home at Ashdon Road, we've worked on every type of Saffron Walden roof.
We understand the unique architectural features of East Anglian properties – from traditional clay peg tiles and handmade tiles to the protective lead work on timber-framed buildings. St Mary's Church, the tallest in Essex with its 193-foot spire, reminds us that Saffron Walden's roofscape is a defining part of this beautiful town's character, and we're proud to help maintain it.
