Ely's exposed position on the Isle means roofs here face some of the fiercest wind and driving rain in the region — and we're well used to dealing with the damage that follows.
Sitting above the flat Fenland landscape, Ely offers little shelter from prevailing south-westerly winds. The cathedral city has a fine mix of Victorian and Edwardian slate-roofed terraces in the streets around Broad Street and Station Road, alongside older cottages on the city's fringes that often retain original clay pantiles. Wind-driven rain finds its way under poorly bedded ridge tiles and around chimney flashings quickly in conditions like these, and we see a spike in emergency calls after every significant storm. Verge mortar failure and cracked ridge sections are the two most common faults we attend in Ely.
We cover Ely and the nearby villages of Littleport, Sutton, and Soham, and can usually be with you within 48 hours. If water is coming in now, call us directly for same-day emergency attendance — all repair work is guaranteed in writing.
