What's involved

Commercial Roofing in Ely

Commercial roofing covers a broad range of systems and building types, and getting it wrong is costly. A failing roof on a business premises doesn't just mean repair bills — it means disruption to your operation, potential damage to stock or equipment, and liability concerns. We work with businesses across Ely, Soham, Chatteris, March, and across the Fens on everything from small office extensions to large agricultural and industrial units.

The systems we install and maintain include single-ply membranes such as TPO and EPDM, built-up felt roofing, liquid-applied coatings for flat roofs, profiled metal sheet roofing, and GRP fibreglass. We also carry out surveys, patch repairs, and full strip-and-relay jobs. Before quoting, we inspect the existing roof structure, check drainage falls and outlets, and identify any areas of ponding or membrane failure. Our quotes are itemised so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

Commercial roofing is not a job for a general builder or a domestic roofer who takes on the occasional flat roof. The materials are different, the access requirements are greater, and the consequences of a failure are more serious. We carry full public liability insurance, can provide RAMS documentation for your health and safety file, and work safely at height in line with current Working at Height Regulations.

We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront. Most flat roof replacements on a standard commercial unit — say 500 to 1,000 square metres — take between three and seven working days. We aim to schedule work to minimise disruption and can arrange out-of-hours access where necessary. All commercial work comes with a written guarantee.

Flat roof replacement on a commercial building in Ely typically costs between £60 and £120 per square metre, depending on the system specified and the complexity of the roof layout.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ely typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000, depending on the size, pitch, and materials chosen. Slate roofs cost more than concrete tile, and steeper pitches take longer to work on safely. We provide a fixed written quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
If tiles are crumbling or breaking in large numbers, if you've had repeated leaks in different areas, or if the roof is more than 40–50 years old with no significant work done, replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free survey — if repairs are genuinely the better option, we'll say so.
Minor repairs such as replacing a few broken tiles typically cost between £150 and £350. Chimney repointing and reflashing usually runs between £800 and £1,200. More involved repairs involving valley replacement or significant areas of re-tiling will cost more, and we'll quote accurately after a free inspection. We never quote blind without seeing the roof first.
GRP fibreglass flat roof installation in Ely typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, including stripping the old covering, preparing the deck, and fitting the new system. A typical single-storey extension roof of around 20–25 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,500 to £3,000. EPDM and felt systems are generally at the lower end of that range. We provide a fixed written quote after measuring up on site.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached property in Ely, fascia, soffit and guttering replacement typically costs between £900 and £2,200. The price depends on the number of elevations, the length of guttering runs, and whether any rafter feet need treating or replacing. We provide a fixed written quote after visiting the property, so there are no surprises.
A straightforward lead flashing repair — for example, re-fixing and repointing a chimney apron or step flashing — typically costs between £150 and £350 in Ely. A full lead replacement around a chimney stack, including both the apron and soakers or step flashings, usually runs between £400 and £900. We'll give you a fixed price after inspecting the detail.
A chimney rebuild from roof level on a standard Ely semi-detached or terraced house typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. The main variables are the height of the stack, how many courses need to come down before you reach stable masonry, and whether reclaimed matching bricks are needed. The price includes scaffolding, new flashings and a replacement pot and flaunching.
Chimney take-down in Ely typically costs between £800 and £2,000 for a standard residential stack. The price depends on the height of the stack, how many courses need to come down, the type of roof covering being made good, and how accessible the chimney is for scaffold. We provide a fixed written quote after visiting the property.
