Sawston is a large village just south of Cambridge on the A1301, and its housing stock reflects decades of steady growth — from older cottages and Victorian properties near the village centre to 1970s and 1980s estates that make up much of the residential area. Flat-roofed garages and extensions are common on the mid-century stock, and these are a frequent source of leaks and water ingress as felt coverings age and degrade. We work regularly in Sawston and surrounding South Cambridgeshire villages, so response times are quick and we know the area well. If you've got a flat roof showing signs of pooling water or cracking, it's worth getting a survey done before winter sets in.

Sawston was historically home to a significant leather tanning and paper milling industry, giving it more of a working-village character than many South Cambridgeshire settlements. Its proximity to the Cambridge biomedical campus has driven steady population growth and demand for property maintenance.
A mixture of pre-war village cottages and a large proportion of 1970s–1980s residential estate housing, many with flat-roofed garages and single-storey extensions.
