Fordham is a quiet village between Ely and Newmarket, sitting in the Cambridgeshire chalk belt where building traditions differ noticeably from the brick-and-clay construction of the fens. You'll find a number of older flint and brick cottages here, as well as farmhouses with plain clay tiled roofs that need careful like-for-like repair rather than modern substitutes. The village has grown over the decades with estates of brick-built semis and detached homes, and we cover the full range. From our base in Ely, Fordham is around 8 miles — well within our regular working area — and we can usually arrange a roof survey within a few days of your call.

Fordham sits within the area served by Newmarket's racing industry, and a number of properties here are occupied by stable staff and racing yard workers — a community that values practical, reliable trades rather than corporate-feeling contractors. The village is close to Fordham Abbey, and the surrounding farmland means agricultural-style outbuildings with corrugated and profiled sheet roofing are also common here.
Older flint and brick cottages and farmhouses in the village core, with a significant proportion of 1960s–1990s brick-built semi-detached and detached housing on the expanded estate areas.
