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 that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

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 are quoted alongside the house so one visit covers the holding.
Wind-driven debris damage
Open ground either side of the B1040 means grit and debris get thrown at roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
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
We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for leaks and storm damage — call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.

Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Cambridgeshire quotes can be judged against it 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. 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 it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
- Our roof is fen-edge housing — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. fen-edge housing is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

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. PE26 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Huntingdonshire District Council.
