Thetford sits just four miles from our Brandon base, so it's one of the areas we cover most frequently. The town has a distinctive character — a large proportion of its housing stock dates from the 1960s and 1970s, built to accommodate the London overspill population that arrived under post-war resettlement schemes. These properties — mostly semi-detached and terraced council-era houses — often have concrete interlocking tiles which are now reaching the end of their serviceable life and beginning to crack or slip. Alongside these estates, the older parts of town near the ancient priory ruins have some earlier brick and flint properties with traditional clay tile roofs that need a more careful approach.

Thetford was designated an overspill town for London in the 1960s, leading to rapid population growth and a large stock of post-war housing. It sits within the Thetford Forest area, and the combination of damp woodland air and exposed open roads means roofs here can accumulate moss and algae relatively quickly.
Predominantly 1960s–1970s semi-detached and terraced overspill housing with concrete interlocking tiles, plus older flint and brick properties in the historic core of town.
