The roofs we see in Burwell
Burwell is a long village on the chalk edge where it drops away into the fen, which is why it stretches so far along one street. There is a good deal of older clunch, brick and flint property with clay tile, and newer development behind it on concrete tile.
Older property here often has clunch, a soft chalk block, in the walls, and that changes how a chimney or an abutment has to be repaired. A hard cement mix on clunch or soft brick traps water and blows the face off it, so the mortar has to be softer than what it is going into. It is a detail a lot of quotes skip over.
What we are working on in Burwell
Clunch, flint and brick with clay tile in the old village, and concrete tile on the newer development behind it.
The chalk edge catches the wind coming off the fen, so the fen facing elevations weather much faster than the sheltered side.
What we get called out for in Burwell
Chimney and abutment work on the older clunch, flint and brick property, where the mortar mix matters more than most people realise, plus standard repair and re-covering on the newer housing behind it.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- A ridge tile sitting visibly proud of the line next to it
- Mortar missing from the ridge or the edge of the roof
- Moss thick enough to hold water on a north facing slope
- Gutters overflowing in one spot only
- Daylight visible through the roof when you are in the loft

Reviews
What customers say
The team repaired a leak in my roof, delivering a brilliant service from start to finish. Competitively priced and I would highly recommend!!
I’ve just had a re-roof done by Flash roofing, we initially had 3 quote and they were by far the most competitive while making us at ease with everything they offered! Really happy with the outcome and the job was left tidy - couldn’t recommend this team enough!
Great service from start to finish. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work to a high standard. The roof looks solid again, and everything was left tidy. Reliable, professional, and fairly priced, highly recommend.
FAQs
Roofing in Burwell: your questions
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Burwell?
Ring the mobile on 07934 565 449. Burwell is a short run from Ely and Newmarket. You will get told realistically when we can be there rather than a number picked to sound good.
Do you do small jobs in Burwell or only full roofs?
Both. One slipped tile, a cracked verge, a blocked gutter or a single length of flashing are all normal jobs for us.
How long will I wait for a survey in Burwell?
Usually days rather than weeks. Burwell is a short run from Ely and Newmarket.
How much do roofers in Burwell charge?
It depends entirely on the job, and anybody who gives you a figure before seeing the roof is guessing. What we can tell you is that the survey and the written, itemised quote are free, and the quote separates out access, materials and labour so you can compare it properly against anyone else's.
Can you provide photographs and a report for an insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph the damage before anything is touched, date it, and write up what caused it. That report is yours to use whoever ends up doing the repair.
