From the riverside centre to the newer estates
Huntingdon has a historic market-town centre beside the River Great Ouse, with a conservation area and a mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings. Further out, large post-war estates and newer developments around Hartford and Hinchingbrooke bring concrete interlocking tiles, mortar or dry ridges and later flat-roofed extensions. Each type of roof ages differently, so we look at the actual roof in front of us rather than assuming what it needs from the age of the street.
Older roofs in the conservation area
On period buildings in the town centre and in Godmanchester, the details matter as much as the tiles: chimney stacks, lead flashings, valleys and the junctions with neighbouring walls. If your home is listed or sits in a conservation area, check with the local authority before changing roof materials or the appearance of the roof. We can explain what a like-for-like repair would involve so you have the information you need for that conversation.
Wind across open Huntingdonshire
Villages such as Alconbury, Buckden and Brampton sit in open countryside, and exposed roofs feel strong winds more than sheltered town streets. Typical problems include slipped or lifted tiles, cracked mortar on ridges and verges, and loose flashings. Where mortar keeps failing, a mechanically fixed dry ridge or dry verge system can be a sensible long-term upgrade. We will tell you honestly whether a targeted repair is enough.
When a re-roof is the honest answer
Sometimes a roof is past patching: perished underlay, tired battens and repeated leaks in different places. In that case a full re-roof gives you a fresh start, stripped back to the timbers with new breathable membrane, gauged battens, new tiles or slate and properly detailed ridges and verges. We explain why replacement is recommended, what is included and how long the work should take, all in a clear written quote.
Flat roofs, extensions and garages
Many Huntingdon homes have a single-storey extension, dormer or garage with a flat roof. When felt starts to blister or a ceiling shows damp, we inspect the deck as well as the covering. We fit EPDM rubber and torch-on felt flat roofs, and we will advise which suits the size, use and edge details of your particular roof.

FAQs.
Do you cover Godmanchester, Brampton and the Hemingfords?
Yes. Our Huntingdon coverage includes PE29 and PE28, with Godmanchester, Brampton, Hartford, Hemingford Grey, Hemingford Abbots, Buckden and Alconbury. Give us the full address and we can arrange a free inspection.
Can you repair an older roof in Huntingdon’s town centre?
Yes. We inspect tiles, slates, chimneys and leadwork and recommend like-for-like repairs where suitable. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, check the requirements before changing materials or appearance.
My ridge tiles keep coming loose in the wind. What can be done?
Ridge tiles can be rebedded, but on exposed roofs a dry ridge system fixes each tile mechanically and avoids relying on mortar. We will explain both options and their costs after inspecting the roof.
Do you replace flat roofs on extensions?
Yes. We fit EPDM rubber and torch-on felt flat roofs on extensions, dormers and garages, checking the deck underneath so the new covering has a sound base.
How quickly can you come out?
For emergencies call 07862 885143 at any time. For non-urgent repairs and quotes, contact Danny and we will arrange a free inspection at a time that suits you.
