Chatteris is one of the more exposed market towns in the Fens, and the wind that sweeps across the surrounding flatlands takes a heavy toll on ageing rooflines — making a properly executed full replacement essential when repairs are no longer enough.
The town has a compact core of Victorian and Edwardian terraces along Park Street and the surrounding streets, along with a good number of pre-war semis and post-war bungalows on the outskirts. Many of these roofs were laid with concrete interlocking tiles in the 1970s and 1980s; those tiles are now at or beyond their design life, and the battens beneath them are often rotten. When we strip a Chatteris roof back to the rafters, it's common to find that the underlay has completely failed — a full replacement is the only sensible route at that point.
We work throughout Chatteris and into the nearby fen-edge settlements of Wimblington and Somersham. Every roof we replace is fitted with new treated battens, breathable underlay and correctly pointed ridge tiles, and every job carries a written workmanship guarantee. If your roof is showing widespread tile movement, dark damp patches on ceilings or persistent wind damage, call us to arrange a free roof survey before another winter sets in.
