Roofers on both sides of the river
St Neots stands on the River Great Ouse, close to the A1 and on the East Coast Main Line. It is one of the largest towns in Cambridgeshire after the cities of Cambridge and Peterborough. It is also several places in one, and the roofs change as you cross the bridge.
We are Mascote Renovation & Property Solutions Ltd, family run roofers who work in every part of St Neots. We inspect and quote free of charge.
The old centre and Eynesbury
The town centre and Eynesbury lie on the east bank, and many of the older houses are here. Their roofs are slate and clay tile, with brick chimney stacks and lead at every joint. Age shows first in the mortar and the lead. Pointing weathers out. Flashing splits. Slates slip when their fixings rust. Chimneys and leadwork are the things to watch on this side of town.
Eaton Ford and Eaton Socon
West of the river, older cottages sit among estates built in the decades after the war. Concrete tiles from those years bring a familiar list of jobs. Ridge and verge mortar crumbles. Garage and porch roofs wear through. Timber fascia boards go soft where the gutter hides them. Each can be put right before water gets in.
Love's Farm and Wintringham
These are the newest neighbourhoods, east of the railway. The roofs are young, so the jobs are small. A tile lifted by high wind. A gutter joint that drips. A downpipe that has come loose. If your home is still under the builder's warranty, check that first. After that, call us.
Chimney Repairs St Neots
A stack takes more weather than any other part of the house. Look for mortar on the path below, a pot that leans, or a damp patch on the chimney breast indoors.
For chimney repairs St Neots homeowners get a free inspection first. We bring the right access equipment to reach the stack safely. Then we tell you what it needs. That may be repointing, a stack repair or a rebuild. It may be a new pot or cowl. A chimney that is no longer used can be taken down and the roof made good.
Many chimney leaks start at the base, where the stack meets the tiles. We fit new lead flashing there, put in fresh soakers and a back gutter, then seal the joint. See our chimney and leadwork page for more.
Flat Roofing St Neots
When it comes to flat roofing St Neots has plenty of it. Garages, dormers and rear extensions have flat roofs in every part of the town.
We install flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass. We build warm roofs and cold roofs, and we can upgrade the insulation at the same time. New flat roofs come with a full guarantee.
A leaking flat roof can often be saved. We trace the leak. We patch the weak spot. We deal with ponding water, reseal joints and fit new edge trims. We check the gutter and the outlet too, because a blocked outlet is often the real cause.
Roof Repairs and New Roofs in St Neots
We start with a free roof inspection. It tells you which of the two you need.
Roof repairs deal with tiles that have slipped or broken, a loose ridge, leaks, lead flashing, soffits and guttering. We work on slate, tile, pitched and flat roofs.
A new roof is the answer when repairs no longer hold. We remove the old roof. We fit slate, clay tiles or concrete tiles. It meets building regulations and carries a full guarantee. We leave the site clean.
