Fordham's position on the edge of the chalk belt and the Fens means homes here face a particular combination of wind exposure and seasonal moisture that can accelerate roof wear faster than many owners realise.
The village has a good range of older brick-and-pantile cottages alongside more recent Cambridgeshire-border estates using concrete interlocking tiles. Pantile roofs, common on the older Fordham properties, can be tricky to repair correctly — the profiles are easily mismatched — and mortar ridge and hip work tends to fail after 15 to 20 years on exposed elevations. We carry the right profiles and know how to bed them properly so the repair lasts.
Fordham is close to Newmarket and Isleham, and we cover the whole area from our Mildenhall base, typically responding within 24 to 48 hours. We offer a free visual roof survey; call us to book one before the next spell of wet weather hits.
