EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Ely
Ely sits about 16 miles from Cambridge, reached off the A10, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the CB6 and CB7 postcode districts jobs involve historic city roofs and fen-edge housing, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Why customers in Ely call us
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
No overlaying failed decks
If the boards are wet, we replace them. Laying new membrane over a soft deck is the cheap answer that fails twice.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
Common roof problems around Ely
Historic city roofs and fenland housing.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Large-span farm and unit roofs
Sheeted roofs over the barns and packhouses around Lancaster Way business park need sheet, fixing and gutter-line inspection rather than tile-by-tile repair.
Wind-driven debris damage
Open ground either side of the A10 means grit and debris get thrown at roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.

Our Cambridgeshire service radius
Working out from Ely we regularly cover Cambridge, March, Newmarket and Downham Market — a practical radius rather than a marketing map. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Work here falls under East Cambridgeshire District Council and the CB6 postcode area.

What happens after you call
Deck inspection
We lift a section to see the deck; nothing is laid over boards that are soft or damp.
Falls and detailing set out
Firrings, outlet positions and upstand heights are agreed before the membrane arrives.
Membrane installation
EPDM, GRP or felt installed with trims and upstands dressed properly at every edge.
Water test and handover
Outlets checked under flow, edges walked, and the finished roof handed over with the system details.
Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- Do you insulate at the same time?
- We can build a warm deck with insulation above the structure, which usually makes sense if the roof is coming off anyway and the room below is cold or prone to condensation.
- Is the roof walkable?
- GRP takes foot traffic and suits balconies and terraces. EPDM is fine for maintenance access but isn't intended as a walking surface — if you need a usable deck, say so and we'll specify accordingly.
- Can you overlay the existing felt?
- Only if the deck below is dry and sound, and we'll lift a section to check. Overlaying a soft deck buys a year or two and costs the whole job again.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Ely 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 you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
Getting a quote
We will lift a section of the existing roof before pricing. Laying new EPDM or fibreglass over a wet deck is the cheap answer that costs twice. Neighbours in Cambridge and March get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
