Cottenham is a large village north of Cambridge with a varied housing stock that keeps local roofers busy year-round. You'll find everything here from Victorian and Edwardian cottages along the older village streets to post-war semis, 1960s and 70s estates, and more recent housing developments on the village's expanding edges. Older properties often have clay plain tile or Welsh slate roofs that need careful matching when repairs are needed, while the newer builds bring their own challenges with concrete interlocking tiles and low-pitch sections prone to pooling water. We work regularly across Cottenham and know exactly what the local housing stock demands.

Cottenham sits roughly seven miles north of Cambridge city centre and has grown considerably in recent decades as a commuter village. Its position on the edge of the South Fenland means properties can be exposed to wind-driven rain from the north and east, which accelerates wear on flashings, ridge tiles, and mortar beds.
Mix of Victorian and Edwardian cottages, post-war semis, 1960s–70s estates, and newer residential developments. Clay plain tiles and Welsh slate common on older properties; concrete interlocking tiles on newer builds.
