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.

This is the coverage page for Felixstowe: the postcodes we work, what the local building stock does to a roof, and which service applies to which kind of property. If you already know the job you need, the six Felixstowe pages are linked below.
We work the whole of IP11, including Old Felixstowe, Walton, the seafront, Trimley St Mary, Trimley St Martin, Kirton. Felixstowe is roughly 25 minutes from the Ipswich base, so IP11 surveys are usually same day or next morning and storm call-outs are attended within a couple of hours in daylight.
Local knowledge
The mix of ages and materials here is what decides the job. This is what we actually find.
| Property type | Where | What fails, and why |
|---|---|---|
| Edwardian seafront villas | Hamilton gardens and sea road | Leadwork and ridge detail eroding first, because the salt and wind hit the exposed elevation constantly. |
| Post-war inland estates | Walton and the trimleys | Felt flat roofs over garages and rear extensions failing at the upstands. |
| Interwar semis | The town centre streets | Clay ridge tiles working loose in the mortar bed under repeated onshore gusts. |
Salt-laden air corrodes nails, clips and unprotected steel fixings; persistent onshore wind gets under any ridge or verge that is not mechanically fixed. A roof that would last 40 years inland can need attention at 25 here.
Parts of the seafront and Old Felixstowe are covered by conservation area status, which constrains what can be used on the visible slopes.

24 hours, 7 days
Felixstowe is roughly 25 minutes from the Ipswich base, so IP11 surveys are usually same day or next morning and storm call-outs are attended within a couple of hours in daylight. A roofer answers the phone, not a call centre.
Knowing Felixstowe saves you money in ways that are not obvious from a quote. It means knowing which pantile or slate actually matches what is already on your roof, so a repair does not announce itself from the pavement. It means knowing that Hamilton Gardens and Sea Road tends to produce leadwork and ridge detail eroding first, because the salt and wind hit the exposed elevation constantly, so we survey for that first instead of finding it halfway through. It means knowing East Suffolk Council is the planning authority and what that means before you commit to a material. And it means knowing the access: salt-laden air corrodes nails, clips and unprotected steel fixings; persistent onshore wind gets under any ridge or verge that is not mechanically fixed. a roof that would last 40 years inland can need attention at 25 here.

“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.”
“Within 3 days I had a new dry ridge system installed and a new tiled porch roof. I am very pleased with the work. The team were very professional, very friendly and explained how they planned to complete the work.”
“Responded quickly to my request, arrived to fix the problem early morning the day after my request. Dealt with it quickly and efficiently.”

No small print games
Most roofers say "guaranteed" and leave it there. Here is exactly what ours covers, and exactly what it does not, before you commit to anything.

How it works
Whether it is one slipped tile or a full re-roof.
Straight answers
Felixstowe is roughly 25 minutes from the Ipswich base, so IP11 surveys are usually same day or next morning and storm call-outs are attended within a couple of hours in daylight.
We work the whole of IP11, including Old Felixstowe, Walton, the seafront, Trimley St Mary, Trimley St Martin, Kirton. If your postcode is not in that range, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can service it.
Parts of the seafront and Old Felixstowe are covered by conservation area status, which constrains what can be used on the visible slopes. Like-for-like replacement is normally permitted development, and we will tell you which applies before you commit.
Yes. A single slipped tile is still worth doing properly, and it is usually how we meet the people we later re-roof for. The survey is free either way.
