Flat Roofing Services in Great Shelford
Great Shelford is a popular village south of Cambridge with period cottages, large Victorian and Edwardian houses and newer detached homes. Roofs here range from old clay tiles and slate to modern concrete tiles.
Flat roofs are a cost-effective choice, and every part of the roof surface can be used. A well-built flat roof can carry extras such as a roof terrace or solar panels.
Good installation and regular maintenance are what make a flat roof last, 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.
Our flat roofing systems include GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt, EPDM rubber and insulation upgrades, and on heritage buildings we use traditional solutions where they suit the property better. For a free flat roofing quote in Great Shelford, call 07467 757 367.
Local Flat Roofing Specialists in Great Shelford
On period houses in Great Shelford, flat roofs can be anything from a lead-covered bay to a later kitchen extension, and on newer detached homes they often cover garages and garden rooms. Whatever the roof, blocked drains and outlets and failed flashings are behind most of the leaks we find.
We repair and replace flat roofs with GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems or EPDM, and we can add insulation as part of the work. On heritage buildings, we can use traditional solutions where they suit better. A well-built flat roof can also take a terrace or solar panels. We cover flat roof work across Great Shelford and in Sawston and Duxford.
Our second office serves Cambridgeshire and the neighbouring counties, so Great Shelford is part of our regular working area. Like-for-like roof work does not usually 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.

Flat Roofing FAQs for Great Shelford
Can my Great Shelford flat roof be turned into a terrace?
Flat roofs can take terraces if the structure and covering are suitable. It depends on the roof's construction, access and any planning or listed building consent, so check with South Cambridgeshire District Council. We can inspect the roof and advise on the covering.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can you add insulation to a flat roof?
Yes. When a flat roof is replaced we can install insulation as part of the new roof build-up.
