“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.”

- Written workmanship guarantee on every job
Thomas Crosby spent years on the tools across Suffolk before starting Stormproof Roofing in 2020. The reason was simple enough: too many homeowners were being left with botched repairs, tradesmen who stopped answering, and roofs that failed inside five years of being paid for.
What we actually promise
Three things, and they are deliberately unglamorous. Answer the phone. Quote what the job needs rather than what we would like to sell. Stand behind the work in writing.
Five years on, that covers the whole of Suffolk plus the Essex border, with a 24-hour emergency line and a Checkatrade profile currently rated 9.88 from 16 verified reviews, most of them in the last year.
How to check any roofer, including us
This is the advice we would give a family member, and it applies to us as much as to anyone else quoting against us.
- Ask for the address of a job finished more than two years ago, not last month. Anyone can make a roof look right on day one.
- Ask whether the quote is a fixed price or a day rate. Day rates transfer every risk onto you.
- Ask in writing what happens if the strip reveals rotten battens or a failed wall plate. A good answer has a number in it.
- Ask to see the public liability certificate rather than accepting a logo on a van.
- Ask whether the ridge is being mortar-bedded or dry-fixed on new work. If the answer is mortar, ask why.
What we stand for
Honest diagnosis: we quote the repair when the repair will hold. Right materials: BBA-certified membranes, manufacturer-approved tiles, and lead rather than a cheaper substitute. Local reputation: East Anglia is a small place and bad work does not survive word of mouth. Written guarantee: workmanship guaranteed in writing on every job, with the manufacturer warranty on top.
