The roofs we see in Chatteris
Chatteris is on one of the fen islands, so the town itself sits slightly high with completely open land in every direction. Victorian and Edwardian brick in the centre, post war estates around it, and then farmhouses, bungalows and agricultural buildings out on the fen.
Wind is the main event here. Mortar bedded ridges and verges do not survive long on an exposed fen roof, and once the edge lifts the rest follows quickly. Dry ridge and dry verge systems are mechanically fixed into the batten, and on this kind of exposure they are worth the difference every time.
What we are working on in Chatteris
Victorian and Edwardian brick in the centre, post war estates around it, and farmhouses, bungalows and agricultural roofs out on the fen.
Open fen on all sides, so wind uplift at the edges of the roof is the commonest cause of failure.
What we get called out for in Chatteris
Ridge and verge failures on exposed fen roofs, storm damage after a hard blow, and re-covering agricultural and bungalow roofs that have taken decades of open wind.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Staining on the chimney breast in a bedroom
- Gutters overflowing in one spot only
- Moss thick enough to hold water on a north facing slope
- Felt visibly torn or hanging down when you look up at the eaves
- Tiles, slates or lumps of mortar on the ground after wind

Reviews
What customers say
The team repaired a leak in my roof, delivering a brilliant service from start to finish. Competitively priced and I would highly recommend!!
I’ve just had a re-roof done by Flash roofing, we initially had 3 quote and they were by far the most competitive while making us at ease with everything they offered! Really happy with the outcome and the job was left tidy - couldn’t recommend this team enough!
Great service from start to finish. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work to a high standard. The roof looks solid again, and everything was left tidy. Reliable, professional, and fairly priced, highly recommend.
FAQs
Roofing in Chatteris: your questions
Do you cover the villages around Chatteris?
Yes. We regularly work in Doddington, Wimblington, Manea, Benwick, Somersham, Warboys, Pidley and Mepal.
How much do roofers in Chatteris charge?
It depends entirely on the job, and anybody who gives you a figure before seeing the roof is guessing. What we can tell you is that the survey and the written, itemised quote are free, and the quote separates out access, materials and labour so you can compare it properly against anyone else's.
Do I need scaffolding for work in Chatteris?
For a full re-cover, and for most work above single storey, yes. It goes on the quote as a line you can see rather than buried in the price, so you know exactly what the access is costing.
How long will I wait for a survey in Chatteris?
Usually days rather than weeks. Chatteris is out across the fen from Ely.
Will you tell me if I do not need the work doing?
Yes, and it happens often. Plenty of the roofs we are called to in Chatteris need a day's work rather than the re-roof somebody else has quoted for, and we would rather do the small job and be the people you ring next time.
