Aldeburgh Church gets a new roof

The Church of Our Lady and St Peter in Aldeburgh, Suffolk sits on a hill top with stunning views of the coast below. When it was built, the church was intended to be very much in the style of the 40-odd round towered medieval churches that you find in the county, particularly along the coast.

Recently, the tiling on the roof was failing and the re-roofing project was carried out by 3A Roofing Ltd, a family owned company based in Copdock, near Ipswich, who replaced the existing tiles with new Sandtoft hand made, clay plain tiles. The effect, as you can see, was stunning in spite of the challenge of the unusual shape of the church.

Established in 2003, and with over 90 years combined experience in the roofing industry, 3A Roofing offer a complete roofing package for all aspects of roof tiling and slating, lead work and single ply roofing.

The company's reputation has grown from strength to strength, particularly in the renovation of heritage buildings. They are included as Heritage Craft Roofers on the National Federation of Roofing Contractors list and have worked on many Listed buildings and churches.

They hold a large stock of reclaimed roof tiles, roof slates, ridge tiles and bricks and can match most roof tiles from the local vernacular from stock. They also keep some new materials that are sympathetic to the character and appearance of reclaimed.
