Upwell straddles the Norfolk–Cambridgeshire border along the Well Creek and is one of the more characterful fenland settlements in the area, with a long main street of Georgian and Victorian properties fronting the waterway. Many of these homes feature traditional plain clay or Welsh slate roofs that are now well over a century old and need careful, sympathetic repair rather than a blanket strip-and-replace. Agricultural workers' cottages and converted barns also feature in the surrounding area. We understand the importance of matching materials correctly on heritage fenland properties and can source traditional tile profiles that suit the older housing stock here.

Upwell sits on the Well Creek navigation and historically grew as a trading and agricultural village serving the surrounding fen. Its position on the county border means it is somewhat remote from larger towns, and residents often travel to Wisbech or March for services.
Georgian and Victorian terraces and detached houses along the main street, with agricultural cottages and some 20th-century infill properties in the surrounding area. Traditional plain clay tiles and slate are the most common roof coverings.
