Southwold and the places nearby.
Southwold is a small Suffolk seaside town known for its pier, lighthouse, beach huts and Adnams brewery, surrounded on three sides by marsh, river and sea. A large share of homes are second homes or holiday lets, which gives trades a distinctive customer: owners who live elsewhere and need reliable work done between bookings, often arranged remotely. Being clear about communication, photos of finished jobs and turnaround between lets matters as much as covering Reydon and Walberswick.
Halesworth (8 miles), Carlton Colville (9 miles), Leiston (9 miles) and Beccles (10 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Reydon, Walberswick, Wrentham, Wangford and Blythburgh: if you work in particular parts of Southwold, those names belong on the site.
From our base in Exeter, Southwold is about 250 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start IP.
