DJW Roofing & Leadwork Ltd works as roofers in March and across the surrounding Fenland villages from our base in Littleport, Ely. We cover PE15, including Wimblington, Doddington, Benwick, Manea and Christchurch, with Whittlesey also in our wider coverage. Flat, open countryside means roofs here take the full force of the wind, so storm repairs, ridge work and secure detailing are a big part of what we do. Danny brings 15 years’ roofing experience to repairs, re-roofs, leadwork, chimneys and flat roofs. We repair before replacing where possible, inspections are free, and every written quote is no-obligation. DJW is fully insured and all work is guaranteed.
Built for the fen wind
There is little shelter on the open fen around March, and exposed roofs feel it. The most common call-outs are slipped and lifted tiles, cracked ridge mortar, loose verges and flashing that has been worked free by repeated gusts. We find the cause rather than just the symptom, and where mortar keeps failing we can fit dry ridge and dry verge systems that fix each tile mechanically. Gutters, fascias and soffits get checked too, because wind-driven rain often exposes weak points at the eaves.
Victorian terraces and railway-town villas
March grew as a market and railway town on the old course of the River Nene, and its Victorian terraces and villas often have slate roofs, decorative ridges and tall chimney stacks. On these properties, slates can slip as nails corrode, and leadwork around chimneys and bays can tire. We replace individual slates, renew flashings and repair stacks to keep the original character where possible.
Bungalows and 1960s–80s estates
Many March homes are bungalows or houses on 1960s–80s estates, usually with concrete interlocking tiles. These roofs can suffer from failing ridge mortar, brittle underlay and worn valley details. Sometimes a careful repair is all that is needed; on other roofs, a re-roof with new membrane and battens is the better long-term answer. We explain which and why. We also check loft insulation has not been pushed against the eaves, blocking the airflow that keeps timbers dry.
Storm damage and emergencies
After a storm, call 07862 885143. Emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We make the roof safe first, then inspect properly and give you a written quote for a permanent repair. From Littleport, March is approximately 35 minutes away, depending on traffic and the property address.
Leadwork, chimneys and flat roofs
Leaks often start where the roof meets brickwork. We dress lead flashings, soakers and valleys by hand and chase them properly into the mortar joints. For extensions, garages and dormers, we fit EPDM rubber and torch-on felt flat roofs, checking the deck underneath before laying a new covering.
Plain advice from Danny
You will not be sold work you do not need. Each free inspection ends with a clear explanation of what we found, followed by a no-obligation written quote covering materials, the scope of work and the guarantee. That is how we have earned our reputation over 15 years. If you are buying or selling a home in March and a survey has flagged the roof, we can provide a straightforward inspection and written quote.

FAQs.
Do you cover Wimblington, Doddington and Manea?
Yes. Our March coverage includes PE15, Wimblington, Doddington, Benwick, Manea and Christchurch, plus Whittlesey. Send us the address and we will arrange a free inspection.
Why do my ridge tiles keep failing?
Exposed fenland roofs put mortar ridges under constant strain. A dry ridge system fixes each ridge tile mechanically and does not rely on mortar. We can explain whether rebedding or a dry system suits your roof.
Can you repair slates on a Victorian house in March?
Yes. We replace slipped and broken slates, renew lead flashings and repair chimneys, keeping the roof’s original look wherever possible.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs?
Yes. Call 07862 885143 at any time for 24/7 emergency call-outs. We make the roof safe first, then quote for the permanent repair.
Is my bungalow roof worth repairing?
Often, yes. After inspecting the tiles, ridges, underlay and valleys, we will tell you honestly whether a repair or a re-roof makes more sense.
