Cottenham is one of the largest villages in South Cambridgeshire, and with a high street that still has genuine character and residential streets spanning several centuries of building, its roofs keep us busy.
The village stretches along the B1049 north of Cambridge, and the housing ranges from 17th-century farmhouses and brick cottages near the centre to 1970s and 1980s estates to the north and east. Older properties frequently present with failed mortar bedding to ridge tiles, cracked clay plain tiles, and deteriorated lead work — particularly after the kind of hard winters the Fens edge experiences. The newer estates typically use concrete interlocking tiles, which can lift in high winds and let water track into roof spaces if not promptly re-seated and clipped.
We cover Cottenham regularly and can usually attend for a survey within a couple of days. If you've had a recent storm and suspect damage, it's worth getting eyes on the roof before the next wet spell arrives — call us for a same-week inspection.
