Your Trusted Roofers in Cambridge & The Surrounding Area
Based in Fen Ditton, A1 Roofiing Cambridge is your local, family-run business providing expert roofing services tailored to the unique demands of our local environment.
Expert Navigation of Local Planning
We handle the complexities of local regulations so you don't have to.
- Planning Permission: We advise on whether significant changes require permission. Most like-for-like repairs do not.
- Conservation & Listed Buildings: With deep experience working in Cambridge's many conservation areas and on listed buildings, we secure the necessary consent from Cambridge City Council or South Cambridgeshire District Council.
- Permits & Logistics: We arrange all necessary permits for scaffolding or skip placement on public highways, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free project.
Solutions for the Cambridgeshire Climate
Our roofing is designed to withstand the local Fenland environment.
- Wind & Storm Resistance: The flat, exposed landscape makes roofs vulnerable to wind-driven rain and storm damage. We use robust fixing methods and high-quality materials to protect your home.
- Moss & Algae Control: The region's damp climate encourages moss and lichen growth that damages tiles. Our professional moss removal and roof cleaning services are a key preventative measure for local homeowners.

Many homeowners across Cambridgeshire are turning to EPDM for its incredible durability and low maintenance. It's designed to withstand extreme weather, which is perfect for our often exposed, flat local landscape where roofs can take a battering from wind-driven rain and storms. Unlike some traditional flat roofing materials, EPDM won't crack, peel, or rot, offering a long-lasting, watertight solution. It’s a solid investment that protects your building for many years.
An EPDM flat roof is built to last, often performing reliably for 30 to 50 years, sometimes even longer! This impressive lifespan far exceeds that of many older felt flat roofing systems. Its resistance to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and general wear and tear means it stands up well to the varied weather we experience around Cambridge, offering peace of mind for decades without needing frequent repairs or replacement.
Absolutely. EPDM is incredibly versatile and can be used on a wide range of flat roofs. Whether you need a new roof for your garage, a flat extension, a garden office, a shed, or even an existing building with a flat section, EPDM is an excellent option. We offer a full installation service and can help you work out if EPDM is the perfect fit for your specific project, making sure it meets your needs and expectations.
