The roofs we see in Downham Market
Downham Market is a fen edge market town, built where the higher ground meets the Ouse washes. The centre has Georgian and Victorian brick with slate and clay pantile, some of it listed. Spread out around it are the fen villages, and out there the roofs are bungalows, farmhouses, barns and long single storey spans with nothing between them and the weather.
The split is very clear here. In town it is slate and pantile work, valleys and chimney leadwork on older brick property. Out on the fen it is ridge and verge, storm damage, and re-covering long low roofs that have taken forty years of wind. We also do a lot of flat roof replacement on the extensions that were added to the bungalows in the seventies and eighties.
What we are working on in Downham Market
Georgian and Victorian brick with slate and clay pantile in town, and bungalows, farmhouses and barns across the fen villages around it.
This is some of the most exposed ground in the east of England, with the wind coming off the washes and nothing to break it.
What we get called out for in Downham Market
Two different jobs depending on where you are. In town it is slate and pantile repair, valleys and chimney leadwork on the older brick. Out on the fen it is ridge and verge work, storm damage, and re-covering the long low roofs on bungalows and farm buildings.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Daylight visible through the roof when you are in the loft
- A damp patch upstairs that comes back every time it rains hard
- A ridge tile sitting visibly proud of the line next to it
- A flat roof that still has water sitting on it days after rain
- Sagging along the ridge line when you look from across the road

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 Downham Market: your questions
How long will I wait for a survey in Downham Market?
Usually days rather than weeks. Downham Market is a short run from the Ely side of what we cover.
Will you tell me if I do not need the work doing?
Yes, and it happens often. Plenty of the roofs we are called to in Downham Market need a day's work rather than the re-roof somebody else has quoted for, and we would rather do the small job and be the people you ring next time.
How much do roofers in Downham Market 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.
Do you cover the villages around Downham Market?
Yes. We regularly work in Denver, Nordelph, Stow Bardolph, Ten Mile Bank, Hilgay, Southery, Barroway Drove and West Dereham.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Downham Market?
Ring the mobile on 07934 565 449. Downham Market is a short run from the Ely side of what we cover. You will get told realistically when we can be there rather than a number picked to sound good.
