DJW Roofing & Leadwork Ltd covers Littleport, CB6, and nearby Little Downham, Pymoor and Shippea Hill from our base in Littleport, Ely. Danny brings 15 years’ roofing experience, with free inspections, honest advice and no-obligation quotes. The local housing mix includes older brick terraces, fenland farmhouses, period cottages and more recent housing, so the right repair depends on the individual roof rather than its postcode alone. We carry out roof repairs, re-roofs, slate roofing, hand-dressed leadwork, chimney repairs and EPDM flat roofs. Repair comes before replacement where possible, and all work is guaranteed.
Your roofer, based on Hempfield Place
DJW Roofing & Leadwork Ltd is based at 27 Hempfield Place, Littleport, Ely, Cambridgeshire CB6 1NP. Danny brings 15 years’ roofing experience to inspections, repairs, re-roofs and specialist leadwork. Being based in Littleport makes it straightforward to discuss local roof problems and arrange the right next step. The inspection and written quote are free, with no obligation to proceed and no default recommendation to replace a roof.
Roofs exposed to the open Fens
Homes towards Pymoor and Shippea Hill can face wind across open farmland. Storms may reveal loose ridge bedding, disturbed lead flashings or slipped tiles that had looked sound from below. Fenland farmhouses can also have several roof sections and junctions where the route of water needs tracing carefully. The inspection considers the actual exposure and roof condition rather than assuming every rural property has the same problem. Isolated damage can often be tackled with a focused repair when the rest of the roof remains serviceable.
Older terraces and newer Littleport roofs
Older streets and later developments use different coverings, fixing arrangements and underlays. A cracked slate on a terrace may call for careful local replacement, while a tile repair on a newer home needs the correct overlap and support. We cover leaks, patch repairs, felt and batten replacement, cement ridges and verges, and valleys. Where renewal is needed, the roof is stripped back to its timbers, damaged timbers are repaired, and new breathable membrane and gauged battens are fitted before the tiles and finishing details.
Hand-dressed leadwork and EPDM flat roofing
Roof-to-wall junctions, chimneys and dormers depend on more than the main covering. DJW’s specialist leadwork includes step flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney details, with the masonry chased properly and lead shaped by hand. Extensions and garages using EPDM need a sound deck, suitable falls and careful edge and upstand details. We inspect these parts with the surrounding roof to establish the cause of a leak. Careful inspection of the junction and surrounding covering helps identify whether the leadwork, membrane or another detail needs attention.
Local advice without a sales-first approach
Little Downham and the nearby CB6 villages are part of the coverage alongside Littleport itself. Being based in the village, we can usually get to Littleport homes quickly. The important starting point is an honest explanation of what the roof needs and why. DJW is fully insured and all work is guaranteed; Danny can discuss the details for the agreed scope. If there is active storm damage or an urgent leak, call 07862 885143: emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
