Ramsey flat roof installation and repair
With Ramsey industrial units on the doorstep, Ramsey gives us a mix of farmhouses, outbuildings and village housing. Our flat roofing & epdm covers both ends of Ramsey, a single dwelling or a full unit, and the quote sets out the specification whichever it is.

What Ramsey roofs typically need
Fen-edge housing and agricultural buildings.
Uplift on exposed elevations
There is very little shelter around Ramsey, so tile clipping and mechanical fixing patterns matter more than they would in a sheltered street.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables around Ramsey are quoted alongside the house so a single visit covers the whole holding.
Wind-driven debris damage
Open ground either side of the B1040 means grit and debris get thrown at Ramsey roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Ramsey deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.
The work, step by step
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets.
- EPDM rubber roofs
- GRP fibreglass roofs
- Torch-on felt systems
- Extensions, garages and dormers
From first call to finished roof
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.
How we work, and what we don't claim
Detailing shown before install
Upstands, trims and outlet positions agreed with you before anything is bonded down.
Emergency call-out
A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for leaks and storm damage in Ramsey; ring it and you'll get an honest answer on when we can be there.
Written specifications
Every Ramsey quote states the materials and the detailing, so what is included is visible line by line.

Our Ramsey quotes list materials, membrane, fixings and detailing, so other Cambridgeshire prices can be judged against them properly.
Nearby villages and towns
Ramsey sits about 11 miles from Huntingdon, so Huntingdon, March and Peterborough are all on the same run for us. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. In Ramsey that includes commercial premises around Ramsey industrial units.

Ramsey roofing questions
- 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.
- Will you patch our Ramsey roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Ramsey property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
- Our Ramsey roof is fen-edge housing, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Ramsey. Fen-edge housing is among the most common things we work on in Huntingdonshire District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.

Exposure here punishes poorly fixed edge trims, so perimeter fixing gets more attention than the field of the roof. That is what we survey first. Ramsey addresses in PE26 are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Huntingdonshire District Council.
