Typical jobs on market-town roofs

Market-town roofs and large modern developments.

  • Moss and blocked valleys

    Damp valley air around St Neots builds moss quickly, which holds water against tiles and blocks valley runs.

  • Overhanging trees

    Leaf fall from the trees along the valley fills gutters and valleys across PE19, which is a maintenance issue long before it becomes a roofing one.

  • Extensions, porches and garages

    Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.

  • Soft or rotten decking

    Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.

Our working method

  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.

Practical answers before you book

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.
Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On St Neots extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
Our roof is market-town roofs — is that a problem?
No, it's typical for the area. market-town roofs 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.
What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in St Neots cost?
The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
