A1 Roofing Cambridge

Our local landscape, especially here in Cambridgeshire and the Fenlands, is pretty exposed. This means your roof takes a beating from wind-driven rain and storms, which can loosen tiles or crack felt over time. We also see a lot of moss, algae, and lichen thanks to our damp climate, and these can hold moisture against your tiles, causing them to degrade. Often, leaks stem from old, tired materials, blocked gutters overflowing, or even just a slipped tile that's left a gap. We pinpoint the exact cause to make sure the repair lasts.

We understand a leaking roof is an urgent problem. Nobody wants water dripping into their home. When you get in touch, we prioritise emergency calls. We aim to assess the damage and provide a temporary fix quickly to stop further water ingress, then schedule the full repair at the earliest opportunity. Just give us a ring, and we'll do our best to help you out fast.

From traditional pitched roofs with slates or tiles to various flat roof systems like felt, EPDM, or GRP, our team has many years of working with them all. Whether your property is an older home in a Cambridge conservation area or a newer build in one of the surrounding villages, we have the skills and experience to find and fix the leak effectively. We handle everything from small tile replacements to larger sections of roofline damage.

It helps us a lot if you can clear access to the affected area inside your home, moving any furniture or valuables that might be underneath the leak. Outside, if you know which part of the roof is leaking, making sure the area around your house is clear can speed things up. We always take great care when working on your property, so anything you can do to help us access the roof safely and efficiently is much appreciated.

We proudly serve homes and businesses throughout a 20-mile radius of Cambridge. This includes all the local areas like Cottenham, Histon, Impington, Waterbeach, Milton, Fulbourn, Great Shelford, Sawston, Duxford, Linton, Cambourne, St Ives, Huntingdon, Ely, Soham, and Burwell in Cambridgeshire. We also work in Newmarket, Suffolk; Saffron Walden, Essex; and Royston, Hertfordshire. If you're in postcodes like CB1, CB4, or CB22, we are your local trusted roofers.

For most routine roof leak repairs, you won't need planning permission. It's usually just a like-for-like fix. However, if the repair involves changing the roofline significantly or using very different materials, especially if your property is in one of Cambridge's many conservation areas or is a listed building, specific consent from the local council might be needed. Don't worry, we can advise you on this. For safety and access, scaffolding is often necessary, and we handle all the necessary permits for placing scaffolding or skips on public highways, taking that hassle off your plate.

We use high-quality materials and robust fixing methods, specially chosen to stand up to the local weather conditions, meaning your repair should last for many years. We take pride in our work and back our repairs with a guarantee. We want you to feel confident in the longevity of our fixes and have peace of mind knowing your roof is sound.

Choosing us means you're getting a family-run business with a strong reputation across Cambridge and the surrounding villages. We understand the specific challenges local roofs face, from wind damage near the Science Park to moss growth in Fen Ditton. Our team is dedicated to honest advice, quality craftsmanship, and clear communication. We are also committed to responsible waste disposal; all old materials like tiles, felt, and timber are removed from your property and handled by registered waste carriers, which is a legal requirement we take seriously. We also keep a close eye on local council working hours and noise restrictions, aiming to minimise disruption to your neighbours.

Absolutely. We respect your home and property. When our team has finished fixing your roof, we always make sure to clear up thoroughly, removing all old materials, debris, and any rubbish created during the work. We leave the site clean and tidy, just as we found it – or even better! Our goal is to fix your leak without leaving you with an extra clean-up job.
