The roofs we see in Littleport
Littleport is fen edge, and fen edge roofs take a beating. The village core has Victorian brick terraces with slate and clay tile. Beyond it the properties spread out along the droves, and a lot of them are bungalows, farm buildings, outbuildings and long low roofs with very little around them to break the wind.
Out on the droves we spend a lot of time on ridge and verge work, because a mortar bedded ridge on an exposed fen bungalow simply does not last. Dry ridge and dry verge systems are mechanically fixed and they stay put. The other regular is guttering and fascia work on properties where the timber behind the boards has been wet for years.
What we are working on in Littleport
Victorian brick terraces in the village, and bungalows, barns and long single storey roofs out along the droves.
Completely open ground, so wind uplift is the main enemy rather than age.
What we get called out for in Littleport
Ridge and verge work on exposed bungalows out along the droves, guttering and fascia replacement where the timber has gone, and storm damage after a hard blow. Farm buildings and outbuildings are a regular too.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Fascia or bargeboard paint flaking, with the timber going dark underneath
- Sagging along the ridge line when you look from across the road
- Gutters overflowing in one spot only
- Green streaks running down the wall below a gutter joint
- A damp patch upstairs that comes back every time it rains hard

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 Littleport: your questions
Do you do small jobs in Littleport or only full roofs?
Both. One slipped tile, a cracked verge, a blocked gutter or a single length of flashing are all normal jobs for us.
Do I need scaffolding for work in Littleport?
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.
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 Littleport 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.
How long will I wait for a survey in Littleport?
Usually days rather than weeks. Littleport is close to home for us.
Can you provide photographs and a report for an insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph the damage before anything is touched, date it, and write up what caused it. That report is yours to use whoever ends up doing the repair.
