Yes, Cambridgeshire Roofing Services is fully insured for public liability and employer's liability. You can have complete peace of mind that any work carried out on your property is covered.

Question 4

Do you offer free quotes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all roofing work. Simply get in touch via our contact form, email, or phone and we'll arrange a convenient time to visit and assess your roof.

Question 5

How do I know if my roof needs repairing?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include missing, cracked, or slipped tiles; damp patches on ceilings or walls; visible daylight through the loft; blocked or overflowing gutters; and moss or algae growth. If you notice any of these, it's worth having a professional inspection before the problem worsens.

Question 6

How long does a roof repair take?

Accepted Answer

Most minor repairs — such as replacing a few tiles or resealing flashings — can be completed within a day. Larger repairs or full re-roofing projects may take several days depending on the size and complexity of the job. We'll give you a clear timeframe when we quote.

Question 7

Can you repair a roof in winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we carry out repairs year-round. Some materials require dry conditions to be applied correctly, so we'll always advise on the best approach for the weather at the time. Emergency repairs are carried out regardless of season to prevent further damage.

Question 8

What causes roof leaks?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes are cracked or missing tiles, deteriorated flashing around chimneys, skylights or valleys, blocked gutters causing water to back up, and aged or damaged flat roof membranes. Regular maintenance can prevent most leaks from developing.

Question 9

What flat roofing systems do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install a range of flat roofing systems including EPDM rubber roofing, GRP (fibreglass) roofing, and torch-on felt systems. Each has its own advantages — we'll recommend the best option for your property and budget.

Question 10

How long does a flat roof last?

Accepted Answer

A well-installed EPDM or GRP flat roof can last 25–50 years with minimal maintenance. Traditional felt roofs typically last 10–20 years. The lifespan depends on the quality of materials, installation, and how well the roof is maintained.

Question 11

Should I repair or replace my flat roof?

Accepted Answer

If your flat roof is relatively new and the damage is localised, a repair is usually the most cost-effective solution. If the roof is over 15–20 years old, has widespread cracking or blistering, or has been repaired multiple times, a full replacement is likely more economical in the long run. We'll give you an honest assessment.

Question 12

Do you install flat roofs on conservatories?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we regularly upgrade conservatory roofs, including replacing glass or polycarbonate panels with solid tiled or flat roofing systems. This can dramatically improve insulation, reduce noise, and transform the usability of your conservatory.

Question 13

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary depending on the size of the roof, the materials chosen, and the complexity of the job. A small repair might cost a few hundred pounds, while a full re-roof on a typical semi-detached house can range from £3,000 to £8,000+. We always provide a detailed, itemised quote before any work begins.

Question 14

Do you provide a written quote?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our quotes are provided in writing so you know exactly what is included and there are no surprises. We'll itemise materials and labour so you can see precisely what you're paying for.

Question 15

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept bank transfer and cash. We do not typically ask for large upfront payments — we'll agree a payment schedule with you before work begins.
