What Brandon roofs typically need
Flint terraces and forest-edge housing.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Brandon call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on forest-edge bungalows — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Inadequate ventilation
Older roofs were rarely built with eaves or ridge ventilation. A re-cover is the moment to add it and stop condensation soaking the insulation.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
The work, step by step
Full strip-and-recover re-roofs and new roof installations — tiles or slate, new battens, breather membrane, ventilation and fixings to current standards.
- Full strip and re-roof
- Tile, slate and pantile coverings
- New battens, membrane and ventilation
- Ridge, hip and verge dry-fix systems
From first call to finished roof
Survey and scaffold design
Roof measured, condition of deck and timbers assessed, and scaffold planned around access at the property in Brandon.
Strip and inspect
Old covering, battens and felt removed so the rafters and deck can be seen properly — any rot is reported before it is covered again.
Re-cover
Breather membrane, new graded battens, covering laid to the manufacturer's fixing pattern, dry-fix ridge and verge fitted.
Sign-off and clearance
Roof walked over, gutters cleared, scaffold struck and all waste taken away.

Brandon roofing questions
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- How disruptive is a re-roof?
- Noisy for a few days and dusty in the loft, but you can stay in the house. Roofs are left weathertight overnight and we work around agreed hours.
- Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
- Can you work on commercial premises around forestry businesses?
- Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.

On flint terraces the salvage question matters: clay and natural slate often survive a strip and go back down; tired concrete tiles rarely justify it. We decide that with you on the roof, not in the office. IP27 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in West Suffolk Council.
