“Tommy and his team were excellent workers, they replaced my flat roof on my extension, removed spray foam from my loft, and replaced my roof with a new one, also releaded a chimney and removed a chimney. Very friendly team, cleaned up after themselves every day.”

What we do
Six things, done properly
Most people arrive knowing the symptom rather than the job. Pick the closest one and the page will tell you what actually causes it before it gets anywhere near a price.
Roof Repairs
Slipped tiles, leaks, failed flashings and storm damage, diagnosed properly and fixed to last.

EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, torch-on felt and single-ply, specified for the span and the traffic.

Full strip-and-relay in clay, concrete or natural slate, with the structure checked before anything goes back on.
New Roofs →
Emergency Roof Repairs
24-hour storm response. Made safe and made watertight first, quoted properly afterwards.
Emergency Roof Repairs →

One local roofer for repairs, flat roofs, re-roofs, leadwork, chimneys and roofline.
Roofer →
Roofing Company
Commercial, landlord and multi-property roofing, with programmed works and one point of contact.
Roofing Company →Our own photographs
Real jobs, real streets
Not a stock library. Every photo on this site is a Stormproof job, taken on site by the team that did it.
BeforeAfter
A conservatory that was written off half the year
The old glazed roof made the room unusable in winter and unbearable in summer. We stripped it, built an insulated structure and finished it in composite slate. Drag the handle to see the difference. Same room, twelve months of use.

Why people call us back
Three things we do that most do not
A roofer answers at 3am
Storms do not keep office hours. Call the 24-hour line and you get Tom or one of the team, not a call handler taking a message. If what you are describing is safely a morning job, we will tell you that rather than charge you for a night visit.
We quote the repair, not the re-roof
If a focused repair will hold for years, that is what we price. If your roof is genuinely at end of life, you will see the photographs that prove it and get both options costed side by side. You decide on the facts.
Insurance-grade documentation
Storm or impact damage gets timestamped photographs and a written cause-and-effect report in the format loss adjusters actually assess. We deal with the insurer directly where it speeds the claim up.

No small print games

- Issued with your invoice, not promised on the phone
- Before and after photographs of your roof included
- Manufacturer warranty on the materials, on top of ours
Written workmanship guarantee

Areas we cover
Suffolk, the Essex border and out across Norfolk
Based near Ipswich. Each town page gives its postcodes, its planning authority, and what the local building stock actually does to a roof.
Roofing in Ipswich
Suffolk's county town and our home base. More of our weekly work happens inside the IP postcodes than anywhere else on the map.
IP1-IP9 →Roofing in Felixstowe
A coastal town at the mouth of the Orwell, next to the UK's largest container port. Salt air and unbroken onshore wind age roofs here faster than anywhere else we cover.
IP11 →Roofing in Woodbridge
An affluent Suffolk market town on the Deben with a large amount of Georgian and Victorian stock, much of it Listed or inside a conservation area.
IP12-IP13 →Roofing in Stowmarket
Mid-Suffolk's growth town, and our busiest patch outside Ipswich itself. A wide spread of ages in the housing means we see repairs, refurbs and full re-roofs here in the same week.
IP14 →Roofing in Colchester
Britain's oldest recorded town and East Anglia's largest by population. Roman, medieval, Victorian and brand-new stock sit within a mile of each other, which is why the job mix here is wider than anywhere else we cover.
CO1-CO7 →Roofing in Newmarket
The recognised home of British horse racing. Alongside the usual domestic stock there is a large amount of equestrian and agricultural roofing here that most domestic roofers never touch, and we do both.
CB8 →Roofing in Gislingham
A rural mid-Suffolk village between Eye, Mellis and Walsham le Willows. Period cottages, working farms and outbuildings, and very few roofers who will actually come out this far for a domestic job.
IP23 →Straight answers
Common questions
Do you really respond 24 hours a day?
Yes, seven days a week, and a roofer answers rather than a call handler. If what you are describing is safely a morning job we will tell you that instead of charging you for a night visit.
What areas do you cover?
Ipswich and the whole of Suffolk, plus the Essex border into Colchester. Same-day response across a 25-mile core radius from Ipswich, with planned and commercial work further out including Newmarket.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. The survey is free, it includes photographs of what we find, and the quote is a fixed written price rather than a day rate. There is no obligation and no sales visit.
Are your roofing services guaranteed?
Every job carries a written workmanship guarantee, and manufactured products carry their own warranty on top. Work booked through Checkatrade is also covered by their £1,000 guarantee, T&Cs apply.
Can you handle insurance claims?
Yes. Storm and impact damage is photographed and written up in an insurance-grade report, and we deal with the insurer or loss adjuster directly where that speeds up the claim.
Are you Checkatrade-rated?
Yes, rated 9.88 out of 10 from 16 verified reviews. The profile is public and every review on our site is reproduced from it word for word.
