EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Royston
Royston sits about 14 miles from Cambridge, reached off the A505, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the SG8 postcode district jobs involve town housing and chalk-belt village properties, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Common roof problems around Royston
Town housing and surrounding village properties.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished, common on chalk-belt village properties, patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Royston extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks in North Hertfordshire District Council start at the edges, at upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall, not out in the middle of the roof.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Royston are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Royston extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- 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.
- Will you patch our Royston roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Royston 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.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Royston and around Royston industrial estate?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Royston, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Hertfordshire border roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
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 St Neots get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
