Watlington's parish church, the Grade I listed Church of SS Peter and Paul, is built of carstone with some brick and ashlar quoins, and its roofs sum up the job in this village: lead over the nave and aisles, black glazed pantiles over the chancel. Historic England lists it on the Heritage at Risk register in poor condition and on a declining trend. Lead and clay pantile are what we work in round here. Pantiles slip and crack, leadwork tires at the laps and welts, and mortar verges let go and take the tile with them. We handle re-roofs and repairs in clay pantile and slate, lead valleys and gutter linings, plus ridge work, chimney flashings and rainwater goods on homes throughout the village.
The village lies 7.5 miles south of King's Lynn, a short run out for us. It sits about 1.2 miles from the east bank of the River Great Ouse, on flat open ground where wind gets under ridges and verges and finds any tile that is already loose. Watlington railway station is on the Fen Line and stands 0.62 miles from the centre of the village, and we can book around train times.
Manor Farmhouse on Church Road sets the older pattern: mid 17th century, brick with pantiles and plain tiles to its roofs. Expect clay pantile and plain tile on the period property, needing single tile replacement, re-bedded ridges and torching made good. The parish population rose from 2,031 in 2001 to 2,455 in 2011.
