Industrial and commercial roofers in St Ives

We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach St Ives via the A1096, about 6 miles from Huntingdon. That matters for commercial & industrial roofing: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on riverside period property and 1980s–2000s estates.

Full commercial & industrial roofing details

What happens after you call

  1. Site survey and risk assessment

    Access, fragile surfaces and working-at-height arrangements assessed for the premises around St Ives business park.

  2. Report with photographs

    You get a written condition report you can put in front of a landlord, insurer or board.

  3. Phased works

    Larger roofs split into phases so the building keeps operating while work proceeds.

  4. Maintenance plan

    An optional inspection cycle afterwards so the next problem is found in a survey rather than a downpour.

Commercial & Industrial Roofing FAQs

Is a gutter lining cheaper than replacement?
Almost always, and on large-span roofs it's frequently the fix that stops the leak. We price both so the comparison is yours to make.
Do you take on agricultural buildings?
Yes. Barns, stores and packhouses around St Ives are common work — sheet replacement, overlay systems, roof-lights and gutter runs.
Can you set up a maintenance schedule?
We can quote a planned inspection cycle with a written report each visit, so budgeting is predictable instead of reactive.
How soon can someone look at a leak in PE27?
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.
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.
