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.

How long will the work take?

A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.

Can you work on commercial premises around Port of Felixstowe?

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.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.

How soon can someone look at a leak in IP11?

Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.

Typical jobs on Edwardian seafront terraces

Seafront terraces, bungalows and port-side commercial units.

Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On Edwardian seafront terraces it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards Ipswich side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.
Downtime and access planning
Work around Port of Felixstowe is scheduled so trading, deliveries and site access continue.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
