Roof repairs across Ipswich, Suffolk and the Essex border, from a single slipped tile to storm damage that needs an insurance report. Every repair starts with finding where the water actually gets in.
A roof repair is a diagnosis before it is a job. Water rarely enters where the stain appears, so the first thing we do is work out where it actually gets in, not where it shows up.
The work
Every repair starts with a survey from a ladder or scaffold depending on access and pitch, never from the ground with binoculars. We photograph what we find, including the parts you cannot see, and those photographs go to you with the quote. If a focused repair will hold for years, that is what we quote. If the roof is genuinely past repair, we say so and put the re-roof option next to it so you can decide on the facts rather than on pressure.
Most failed repairs we are called back to fix were rushed by someone else: the wrong fixings, cement mortar where lime was needed, a flashing bedded on top of the render instead of chased into the joint, or new tiles laid to a different gauge so the laps do not line up. We lift, re-bed and re-secure to the original spec, replace any defective batten or membrane underneath, and finish so the repair sits visually with the rest of the roof rather than announcing itself.
What moves the price. Small repairs are priced as a fixed job, not a day rate. Access is the biggest variable: a repair reachable from a ladder costs a fraction of the same repair that needs scaffold. We tell you which one you are looking at before we quote.

“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.

Straight answers
Non-urgent repairs are normally surveyed within 48 hours. An active leak is treated as an emergency and attended the same day, usually within a couple of hours in daylight.
No. We quote the focused repair whenever a focused repair will hold. If the roof is genuinely at end of life we will show you the photographs that prove it and quote both options side by side.
Yes. Every repair carries a written workmanship guarantee, and where a manufactured product is used its own warranty applies on top.
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.
