Your Ely project, managed directly by Lewis
Ely is about 27 miles via the A10 from our Wisbech base, so Lewis is with you in about 45 minutes. Bring the changes you want to make to the first visit: the room that feels too small, the roof that needs attention or the house you want to renovate. Lewis checks the existing building and discusses the work from structure to finish.
Your free written quote covers the materials, preparation and finishing trades. You have one person to speak to about the job, with no VAT added to the price.
Work that fits an older cathedral-city home
Make more of your space while keeping the existing building’s character in view. Ely has period cottages, brick terraces and larger older houses around its established streets, alongside later estates towards the city edge. Roof lines, chimney positions and compact rear plots shape the choices for alterations.
Lewis surveys the actual house and discusses your drawings before defining the scope. Kitchen extensions, loft work and full renovations all start with how the old and new spaces will connect in everyday use.
Protect the roof and its junctions
Keep a tiled or slate roof working with the surrounding masonry and rainwater details checked together. Chimneys, lead flashing and small flat-roof additions bring different routes for water around older homes. Lewis covers repairs, roof replacement, chimney work and guttering through the same team.
New roofs carry a 10 year guarantee. Share the affected room and when a leak appears so the survey starts with the problem you are seeing.
A kitchen extension with light in the right places
Create extra living space while keeping the original rooms useful. In a deeper Ely terrace, rear access and the position of roof glazing affect the extension plan. A detached home offers a different relationship between the side plot, kitchen and garden.
Lewis brings construction and roofing into the same project, including structural alterations for a knock-through. The fitting, floor finish and making good form part of the written quote from the start. You keep one point of contact through the building and finishing stages.
Renovate the interior around its dimensions
Get storage, fittings and finishes planned around the rooms you have. Alcoves, chimney breasts and changes in floor level affect joinery and kitchen layouts in older Ely houses. Later properties bring opportunities to combine rooms or convert an underused garage.
Lewis manages carpentry, plastering, floors and decorating alongside kitchen and bathroom work. Your free survey covers those details alongside the building work, and the written quote includes the finish. The core team is supported by trusted specialist trades managed by Lewis.
Clear access and repair records
Keep the job practical on a narrow street or in a property with shared access. Lewis discusses the route for materials and the rooms that need to remain accessible before the work is arranged. For landlords, a named property contact keeps access separate from the approval of the quote.
Repairs between tenancies and larger refurbishments are both covered, with the roof and any interior making good placed in the right sequence.
Littleport, Little Downham and nearby villages
Bring enquiries from Littleport, Little Downham, Witchford and Stretham to Lewis with the postcode and intended work. The villages around Ely include cottages, bungalows and newer homes, so the survey focuses on the specific roof, rooms and access at your property. Use them to discuss the standard of finish you want, then get a free written quote for your own Ely-area project.
