Upwell is one of the more substantial villages in this part of west Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, straddling the county boundary along the Well Creek. It has real architectural character — a long, ribbon-developed settlement with a strong mix of Georgian and Victorian brick properties lining the creek, alongside 20th-century infill housing. The older properties along Well Creek often feature period detailing that requires careful attention when it comes to roofing: lead flashings, clay plain tiles and original chimney stacks that need proper repointing rather than bodge repairs. We cover Upwell regularly and are about 12 miles from our Downham Market base — close enough to keep response times and costs reasonable. Call us to arrange a free roof survey at a time that suits you.
