Roofing
Complete roofing solutions from pitched roof installations to emergency leak repairs across Bury St Edmunds, Ely & Littleport.
Flash Roofing UK Ltd is a family-run team of roofers covering Ely and the surrounding Fenland. From the cathedral city itself to Witchford, Haddenham, Sutton, Stretham and Soham, we handle everything from a slipped tile or blocked gutter to full re-roofs, EPDM flat roofs and chimney rebuilds.
Ely's roofscape is unusually varied for a small city — soft-red clay pantiles on the cottages around Fore Hill and the Waterside, Victorian and Edwardian slate on the terraces off Cambridge Road, and modern concrete interlocking tiles across the newer estates at Cathedral View, Kings Avenue and Little Downham. We work on all of them, and for properties in the conservation area around the cathedral we source reclaimed pantiles and use lime mortar so repairs blend in properly with the surrounding brickwork.
Every roofing service we offer is available across Ely and the Fenland villages: full pitched roof replacements and re-roofs, EPDM rubber flat roofs on garages and extensions, 24/7 emergency roof repairs after storms, uPVC and timber fascia and soffit installations, seamless guttering and downpipe replacements, and specialist chimney repairs, re-pointing and code-4/code-5 lead flashing. Flat roofs are a big part of what we do in Ely — a lot of the 60s and 70s properties have flat-roofed garages and rear extensions that are well past the life of their original felt, and EPDM is the right long-term upgrade.
The Fens are exposed — there's very little between Ely and the North Sea to break the wind — and every autumn we see a run of storm-damage callouts across the city and surrounding villages. Lifted ridge tiles, torn flat-roof felt and lead flashing pulled clear of the chimney are the usual culprits. If you've spotted a leak or missing tiles, call the emergency line and we aim to be on site in Ely within around three hours. We fit temporary weatherproofing straight away, produce the photographic report your insurer will need, and book the permanent repair around your schedule.
Every quote is written by Harry, the owner — not a commission-paid salesperson. We're fully insured for public liability and all work, small or large, comes with a proper written guarantee. A lot of our Ely work comes through neighbour recommendations after a job on the same street, which is exactly how a local roofer should be judged.
