Typical jobs on 1960s expansion estates
Modern estates and industrial units.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Haverhill are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished, common on modern housing, patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on 1960s expansion estates, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Haverhill would have.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Haverhill deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.

Our working method
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.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- How long should a new flat roof last?
- A well-installed EPDM or GRP roof on a sound, correctly falling deck should give decades of service. What kills flat roofs early is ponding water, poor upstands and being laid over a wet deck, all avoidable.
- 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.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Haverhill and around Hanchett End and Haverhill business parks?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Haverhill, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Suffolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- Does the exposure around Haverhill change what you'd specify?
- Sometimes. Sheltered Haverhill streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold room or heavy moss growth all change how the work is approached.
