How long will the work take?

A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.

What does a roofing quote in March cost?

The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.

Do we need permission from Fenland District Council?

Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.

Can you work on commercial premises around March trading estate?

Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.

Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?

Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.

March roofers — Cambridgeshire

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach March via the A141, about 12 miles from Wisbech. That matters for roofing work: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on fenland terraces and bungalows.

Where else we work from March

Most weeks we are somewhere between March and Wisbech, which is why a free inspection here does not need to wait for a run of work to build up. Postcodes covered locally: PE15.

Materials and systems we use

Natural and fibre-cement slate: Used on period and conservation roofs. Fixed with copper or stainless nails, with lead soakers at abutments.
EPDM rubber membrane: Single-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no seams across the field of the roof.
Code-rated lead: Correctly sized lead for flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work, rather than cement fillets.
Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge: Mechanically fixed systems that don't rely on mortar — a sensible upgrade on exposed roofs.
