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.

This is the coverage page for Stowmarket: 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 Stowmarket pages are linked below.
We work the whole of IP14, including Combs Ford, Cedars Park, Chilton Leys, Onehouse, Stowupland, Needham Market, Bacton, Mendlesham. Stowmarket is roughly 25 minutes up the A14, so IP14 is inside the same-day survey area and storm call-outs are usually attended within two 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1930s semis | Bury road and ipswich road | Perished underlay and mortar-bedded ridges that have taken 90 years of frost. |
| 1960s and 70s estates | Combs ford | First-generation concrete interlocking tiles delaminating, and whole streets reaching end of life at once. |
| Newer phases | Cedars park and chilton leys | Dry-fix ridge and verge systems needing re-tensioning, plus builder-grade flashings. |
| Garage and extension flat roofs | Across ip14 | 1990s pour-and-roll felt at genuine end of life, splitting at the upstands. |
Open mid-Suffolk farmland gives long uninterrupted fetch across the fields, so exposed gable ends and verges take more wind load than the sheltered streets suggest.
Stowmarket has a town centre conservation area, and Mid Suffolk District Council is the planning authority for anything that changes the visible covering.

24 hours, 7 days
Stowmarket is roughly 25 minutes up the A14, so IP14 is inside the same-day survey area and storm call-outs are usually attended within two hours in daylight. A roofer answers the phone, not a call centre.
Knowing Stowmarket 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 Bury Road and Ipswich Road tends to produce perished underlay and mortar-bedded ridges that have taken 90 years of frost, so we survey for that first instead of finding it halfway through. It means knowing Mid Suffolk District Council is the planning authority and what that means before you commit to a material. And it means knowing the access: open mid-suffolk farmland gives long uninterrupted fetch across the fields, so exposed gable ends and verges take more wind load than the sheltered streets suggest.

“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.

Whether it is one slipped tile or a full re-roof.
Straight answers
Stowmarket is roughly 25 minutes up the A14, so IP14 is inside the same-day survey area and storm call-outs are usually attended within two hours in daylight.
We work the whole of IP14, including Combs Ford, Cedars Park, Chilton Leys, Onehouse, Stowupland, Needham Market, Bacton, Mendlesham. If your postcode is not in that range, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can service it.
Stowmarket has a town centre conservation area, and Mid Suffolk District Council is the planning authority for anything that changes the visible covering. 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.
