Fordham is a large Cambridgeshire village sitting just six miles from Newmarket and roughly twelve miles from Ely, with a housing stock that reflects several distinct eras of development. You'll find older flint and brick cottages along the village core near the church, alongside substantial post-war semis and detached houses that spread outward on the surrounding streets. Many of these older properties carry ageing plain-tile and plain-clay roofs that need careful matching when repair work is required — sourcing the right tile profile matters in a conservation-conscious village like this. Newmarket Roofers works regularly across Fordham and understands exactly what the local housing stock demands.

Fordham sits close to the edge of the Cambridgeshire fens, meaning roofs here are exposed to persistent south-westerly winds and the damp that comes with low-lying fenland geography — two factors that accelerate mortar and flashing deterioration.
Fordham has a mixed stock of flint and brick period cottages in the older core, plus post-war detached and semi-detached houses on the outskirts — many with plain or pantile roofs requiring sympathetic repair or replacement.
