Haddenham is one of the Fens' most characterful villages, and its roofs reflect that — from clunch-walled cottages to 1970s bungalows on the village fringes.
The older properties around Haddenham's village centre are built from clunch, a soft local chalk stone, and typically carry plain clay tiles or old Welsh slate. Both materials need careful handling — clunch walls can crumble if water tracks down from a poorly bedded verge, and we see a lot of failed mortar on ridge and hip ends here. The village's elevated position above the surrounding fen means roof surfaces take the full force of south-westerly weather coming in off the Bedford Levels.
We cover Haddenham from our Ely base, which is less than ten minutes away, so we can respond quickly if you have an active leak. Call us to arrange a free roof inspection and we'll give you a clear written quote before any work starts.
