Histon is a large Cambridgeshire village sitting just three miles north of Cambridge city centre, and its proximity to the city has driven significant residential growth over recent decades. Alongside the older parts of the village — Victorian and Edwardian properties near the village centre — there are substantial estates of 1970s through to 2000s detached and semi-detached homes that are now reaching the age where roofs need serious attention. We do a lot of tile-for-tile replacement and ridge re-bedding on these properties, as well as lead valley work on the older stock. Ely Roofers covers Histon as part of our regular south Cambridgeshire run, and we are fully aware that residents here expect a professional, punctual service.

Histon is closely linked to the Cambridge commuter belt and is known locally for its former Chivers jam factory, which shaped the village's early 20th-century growth — many of the workers' cottages from that era are still standing and occupied.
