Wicken is a small fenland village in Cambridgeshire, best known for Wicken Fen — the National Trust's oldest nature reserve and one of the last undrained fenland habitats in the country. The village itself is modest in size, with a mix of traditional brick-built cottages, former agricultural workers' dwellings, and a handful of newer bungalows and modern houses built on infill plots. Older properties here often have plain clay tiles or pantiles, and the damp, exposed fenland environment means moss growth, mortar deterioration, and chimney pointing issues are genuinely common. We cover Wicken from our Newmarket base and are happy to carry out a free roof survey for any homeowner concerned about the condition of their roof.

Wicken Fen draws visitors year-round and gives the village a distinct character, but the surrounding fenland also means properties face persistent damp and wind exposure. The village has limited amenities and residents rely on nearby Soham and Ely for most services.
Small village with traditional brick cottages, former agricultural labourers' dwellings, and some 20th-century infill bungalows. Plain clay tile and pantile roofs predominate on older stock.
