Waterbeach is a village north of Cambridge that has seen significant change in recent decades — it was home to a major RAF and later Army barracks, and the former base land is now being redeveloped as a new settlement, bringing a steady stream of new-build roofing and snagging work to the area. Alongside this modern growth, the original village retains a core of older homes: Victorian and Edwardian cottages along the High Street, and substantial 1960s–1980s residential development that followed the A10 corridor expansion. Flat roofs on garages and extensions are common on the postwar stock, and these are often the first thing to fail on properties of that era. We cover Waterbeach regularly and can reach the village from Cambridge in around fifteen minutes.

Waterbeach sits on the A10 around five miles north of Cambridge city centre and has a station on the Cambridge–Ely rail line. The former Waterbeach Barracks site is being redeveloped as Waterbeach New Town, which will eventually deliver thousands of new homes — one of the largest housing developments in Cambridgeshire.
Mix of Victorian and Edwardian village-centre properties, 1960s–80s estate housing, and an expanding new-build settlement on the former barracks land. Garages with flat roofs are common across the postwar stock.
