EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Huntingdon

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Huntingdon via the A14, about 16 miles from Cambridge. That matters for flat roofing & epdm: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on town housing and large distribution roofs.

Full flat roofing & epdm details

What happens after you call

  1. Deck inspection

    We lift a section to see the deck; nothing is laid over boards that are soft or damp.

  2. Falls and detailing set out

    Firrings, outlet positions and upstand heights are agreed before the membrane arrives.

  3. Membrane installation

    EPDM, GRP or felt installed with trims and upstands dressed properly at every edge.

  4. Water test and handover

    Outlets checked under flow, edges walked, and the finished roof handed over with the system details.

Specification options

Falls and firrings
Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.
Torch-on felt systems
Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
Warm-deck insulation build-ups
Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.
Trims, upstands and outlets
Edge trims, correctly formed upstands and adequate outlets — where nearly all flat roof failures actually begin.

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs

Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Huntingdon extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
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.
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.
How soon can someone look at a leak in PE29?
Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.
Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?
Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.

Why customers in Huntingdon call us

  • 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.

  • Detailing shown before install

    Upstands, trims and outlet positions agreed with you before anything is bonded down.

  • System-appropriate guarantees

    Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.

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 St Ives and St Neots get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
