DJW Roofing & Leadwork Ltd covers Newmarket, CB8, and nearby Exning, Kentford and Burwell 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 period cottages, Victorian houses and more recent estates, so the right repair depends on the individual roof rather than its postcode alone. Burwell, Exning and Kentford are part of the wider Newmarket coverage, with different roof types and local settings. 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.
Roofs in Newmarket and neighbouring villages
Newmarket’s established streets and later developments include varied tile and slate roof coverings. Exning, Kentford and Burwell add period cottages, village homes and newer housing to that mix. A roofing inspection should take account of the actual structure and junctions, not assume that every CB8 property has the same roof. DJW looks at visible defects and the supporting details before explaining what is needed. We travel from our Littleport base to homes throughout Newmarket, Exning, Kentford and Burwell.
Local repairs before unnecessary replacement
A slipped tile, cracked slate or leaking valley can be a focused repair where the rest of the roof is serviceable. DJW covers patch repairs, felt and batten replacement and cement ridges or verges alongside the main covering. The source of water needs tracing because it can travel before showing as a ceiling stain. We explain what the inspection has found and why the recommended scope is appropriate. A written no-obligation quote allows you to consider the advice before committing, rather than treating every leak as a new-roof enquiry.
Chimneys and hand-dressed lead details
Period cottages and older town homes often have chimneys and roof-to-wall junctions that rely on careful leadwork. A split flashing, loose chase or poor overlap can allow driven rain inside while the adjacent tiles remain intact. DJW removes failed lead, chases the masonry properly and shapes new lead with a straight edge and lead dresser. Step flashings, soakers, valleys and dormer details are assessed according to their role. The aim is an appropriate water-shedding arrangement rather than a cosmetic sealant patch over an uncertain junction.
Re-roofing and EPDM for different roof shapes
Where a pitched roof needs renewal, DJW strips it to the timbers, repairs damage and fits breathable membrane and correctly gauged battens. The tiles are laid before valleys, ridges and verges are finished with appropriate bedding or dry fixing. Extensions and garages using flat roofing have different requirements: EPDM needs a sound deck, suitable falls and secure edge and upstand details. Material choices should fit the roof geometry and supporting structure. For protected buildings, check any necessary consent before changing appearance or covering type.
