Flat Roofing Services in Duxford
Duxford is a village south of Cambridge, best known for the Imperial War Museum airfield, with period cottages and newer houses. We repair tiled roofs, chimneys and flat roofs on homes and outbuildings here.
Flat roofing is popular because it is cost-effective and the whole surface of the roof can be put to use. Built properly, a flat roof can also support a terrace or solar panels.
Like any roof, a flat roof lasts longest when it is installed and maintained properly, so it is worth checking flashings and drainage, particularly after bad weather. Outlets and drains need to be kept clear, as blockages are one of the main causes of leaks.
We install fibreglass GRP, three-layer mineral felt systems, EPDM rubber and a range of insulation products, and on heritage buildings we use traditional solutions where they suit the property better. For a free flat roofing quote in Duxford, call 07467 757 367.

Flat Roofing in Duxford: What We See Locally
Flat roofs in Duxford, whether on extensions, garages or outbuildings, tend to fail in predictable ways. Outlets clog and water ponds, flashings where the roof meets a wall crack or come away, and older felt eventually blisters and splits.
We install and repair fibreglass GRP, three-layer mineral felt and EPDM flat roofs, and can improve insulation when replacing a roof. On period properties, we can advise on traditional solutions that suit the building. Keeping drains and outlets clear and checking flashings regularly will add years to any flat roof, and spotting a problem early often means a repair rather than a replacement. If you are considering a roof terrace or solar panels, a correctly built flat roof can take them. We provide flat roofing in Histon and Cambridge as well.
Duxford is looked after by our second office, which covers Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Rutland and the surrounding area. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with South Cambridgeshire District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Common Questions About Flat Roofing in Duxford
Felt or fibreglass for a flat roof in Duxford?
Both have their place. A three-layer mineral felt system is a proven traditional option, while GRP fibreglass gives a seamless finish that can last 20 years or more. The best choice depends on the roof's size, use and how it is built, and we will explain the options at the site visit.
Which flat roofing system is best?
It depends on the roof. GRP fibreglass suits most domestic extensions and dormers, three-layer mineral felt is a reliable traditional option, and EPDM is ideal for larger commercial roofs. We will recommend the right one for your building.
How do I look after a flat roof?
Keep outlets and drains clear of leaves and debris, and have the roof checked after severe weather, especially around flashings.
Why is my flat roof leaking?
The most common causes are failed flashings where the roof meets a wall, blocked outlets or drains, and coverings that have cracked or blistered with age.
How much does a new flat roof cost?
It depends on the size of the roof, the system you choose and the condition of the deck. We will give you a free, no-obligation quote.
Can a flat roof take a terrace or solar panels?
A properly built flat roof can support extras such as a roof terrace or solar panels. We will check the structure and advise what is possible.
