Cottenham is a large Cambridgeshire village about six miles north of Cambridge, and over the past thirty years it has grown substantially through a series of residential developments that now sit alongside the older village core. The historic centre has traditional brick and pantile cottages and Victorian terraces, while the newer parts of the village are dominated by 1990s and 2000s developer-built detached homes — many of which are now showing the first signs of roof wear including cracked ridge tiles and failing mortar. We are experienced with both ends of the village's housing spectrum and carry out everything from traditional lime mortar repointing on older cottages to full strip-and-re-roof on the newer estates. Cottenham is a regular stop on our north Cambridge route.

Cottenham lies at the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens and has grown rapidly as a Cambridge commuter village — its population has roughly doubled since the 1980s, bringing a large volume of similarly aged housing stock that is now entering its first major maintenance cycle.
