March sits low in the Fens, and its mix of Victorian terraces and interwar semis takes the full force of easterly winds — roof repairs here need to be done right first time.
Much of March's housing stock dates from the late Victorian railway era, with terraced rows in the town centre built using plain clay tiles that are now well into their lifespan. Interwar and post-war semis spread out toward Westry and Whittlesey Road, many still carrying original concrete tiles that have begun to peg-fail or ridge-lift. We see a lot of storm-related damage here — slipped tiles, open ridge lines and failed flaunching around chimney stacks are the most common call-outs.
The flat Fenland setting means there's nothing to break the wind, so what starts as one or two slipped tiles can quickly lead to water tracking under felt and into the loft space. We cover March and the surrounding villages including Wimblington and Doddington, and we carry enough common tile profiles on the van to make most repairs in a single visit.
