Flat roofing in Crowland
Garage, extension and outbuilding roofs laid to fall and fixed down properly, so the wind cannot get under the edge.
Flat roofs fail in two ways, and out here they get both. Water sits on them because the fall was never right, and wind gets under the edge because the perimeter was never fixed down well enough. On an exposed fen plot the second one is what turns a tired roof into a missing one overnight.
Worth looking at now
- Water still standing on the roof a day after the rain stopped
- An edge or corner that lifts and drops in the wind
- Blisters and splits along the seams or at the upstands
- Damp on the ceiling below, or on the wall where the roof meets the house
- Trim that has worked loose along the gable side
Edges first, then the covering
We build the falls back in with firrings so the water leaves, replace decking that has gone soft underfoot, and pay proper attention to the perimeter: edge trims and upstands mechanically fixed rather than relying on adhesion, because adhesion is what a fen gale tests. The outlet goes where the water actually wants to run. Only then does the covering go on, in the system that suits the roof, and we will explain the options rather than name one.
Outbuildings count

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.

Before you ring
Flat Roofing in Crowland: common questions
The edge of my garage roof lifts in the wind. Is that fixable?
Yes, and it is worth doing before it goes altogether. A lifting edge means the perimeter is not properly fixed, which is a repair in itself and a detail we build differently when we recover a roof out here.
Water always sits on my extension roof. Is that normal?
No. Standing water a day after the rain means the fall is wrong or the outlet is blocked, and it is the main reason flat roofs fail early. Correcting the fall is part of the job rather than an extra.
Can you just cover over the old one?
Sometimes, where the deck is sound and the falls are right. More often it hides a soft deck and the new roof fails from underneath, so we check first and show you which applies.
Do you do outbuildings and workshops?
Yes, along with garages, porches, dormers and extensions, anywhere in Crowland and the PE6 fen around it.
