A region of two halves. The Cambridge, Peterborough and Essex corridors have grown quickly and are dominated by post-war and recent cavity-walled housing. Rural Norfolk and Suffolk hold a much older stock, including timber-framed, flint and clay lump construction that needs breathable repair rather than modern sealed systems. Thatch survives in enough quantity here to be a live consideration for roofers.

Along with the South East, this is the driest part of the UK at around 600mm a year, and East Anglia in particular is closer to a continental climate than the rest of the country. That means more frost than the mild west, and more of the freeze-thaw cycling that opens up pointing and flat roofs. The coast is flat and exposed, with little shelter from easterly wind.
