A local roofer covering Ipswich, Suffolk and the Essex border for repairs, flat roofs, re-roofs, leadwork, chimneys, roofline and rooflights. Fixed written quotes, free surveys, no day rates.

Most people searching for a roofer are not shopping for a system. They have a problem, they do not know what it will cost, and they have heard enough horror stories to be wary. This page is the straight version.

How we quote and how we work

The same process whether it is a single tile or a full re-roof: phone triage, free survey with photographs, a fixed written quote you can read and compare, then the work with the site left clean at the end of each day. No day rates, no sales visit, no finance pitch.

Where this work usually goes wrong

How to check any roofer, including us. Ask for the address of a job they finished more than two years ago rather than last month. Ask whether the quote is fixed or a day rate. Ask what happens if the strip reveals something. Ask to see the public liability certificate rather than a logo on a van. A roofer worth using will not mind a single one of those questions.

What moves the price. We quote fixed prices in writing. Anyone quoting a full re-roof over the phone without seeing the loft is guessing, and the gap between the guess and the invoice is where the arguments happen.

Straight answers

Roofer: common questions

How much does a roofer cost?

It depends far more on access and scope than on hours. That is why we survey free and quote a fixed price in writing rather than giving a day rate. You get the number before you commit to anything.

Are you insured?

Yes, public liability cover is in place and we will send the certificate on request rather than just claiming it.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. A single slipped tile is still a job worth doing properly, and it is usually how we meet the people we later re-roof for.

How soon can you look at my roof?

Non-urgent surveys are normally within 48 hours. Anything actively leaking is treated as an emergency and attended the same day.
