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.

Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?

Yes. Open fen exposure means wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they might in a sheltered street.

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 Mildenhall industrial estate?

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.

Our roof is post-war housing — is that a problem?

No, it's typical for the area. post-war housing is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

Typical jobs on post-war housing

Town housing, bungalows and base-related properties.

Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Wind-driven debris damage
Open ground either side of the A11 means grit and debris get thrown at roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.
Roof-light degradation
GRP roof-lights go brittle and crack, which is both a leak and a safety issue for anyone accessing the roof.
