Typical jobs on historic city roofs
Historic city roofs and fenland housing.
Wind-driven debris damage
Open ground either side of the A10 means grit and debris get thrown at Ely roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.
Standing water on shallow flats
Flat roofs laid with too little fall pond quickly on fen-edge housing; we reset falls and outlets rather than patch over them.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Ely are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Ely extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

Our working method
Inspection first
Nothing on a Ely roof is priced before somebody has been on it or had a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair on the Ely roof will hold, that is what you'll be told, and if the covering is finished you get the reason for it rather than an endless run of patches.
Specification in writing
Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed on the Ely quote, so prices from other Cambridgeshire firms can be compared against it properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared and the Ely site tidied before an invoice goes out.
What you can expect from us

We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Ely ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Fully insured
Insurance is carried for the work we take on around Ely, and cover can be confirmed before anyone goes up.

Practical answers before you book
- Do you clear up afterwards in Ely?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Ely address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
- Our Ely roof is historic city roofs, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Ely. Historic city roofs is among the most common things we work on in East Cambridgeshire District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Ely and around Lancaster Way business park?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Ely, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Cambridgeshire roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- Does the exposure around Ely change what you'd specify?
- Yes. Out on the fen edge at Ely wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they would in a sheltered street.
- Do you actually cover Ely, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Ely is about 16 miles from Cambridge, reached on the A10. Work in Ely is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
