How a Ramsey job runs

    A short call covers the property type, its age and the access in Ramsey, often enough to say what is likely before we arrive.

    In Ramsey we check the deck, the battens and the detailing, not just the covering you can see.

  3. Options, not one price

    Where a Ramsey roof has both a repair route and a replacement route, you get both figures with the trade-offs explained.

  4. Work scheduled around you

Materials and systems we use

Code-rated lead
Correctly coded lead for the flashings, soakers, valleys and chimney work on Ramsey roofs, in place of a cement fillet that cracks again.
Concrete interlocking tiles
The usual covering on post-war and modern housing around Ramsey, clipped at verges and eaves where the exposure calls for it.
Clay pantiles and plain tiles
The traditional covering on older Ramsey roofs, re-laid on new battens and breather membrane with sound tiles salvaged and the breakages matched.
Dry-fix ridge, hip and verge
Mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that carry no mortar, a sensible upgrade on the more exposed roofs around Ramsey.

Questions we get asked in Ramsey

How soon can someone look at a leak in Ramsey (PE26)?
Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Ramsey is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Ramsey rather than given a fixed promise.
What does a roofing quote in Ramsey cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Ramsey are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Ramsey address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
Can you work on commercial premises in Ramsey and around Ramsey industrial units?
Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Ramsey, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Cambridgeshire roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
Does the exposure around Ramsey change what you'd specify?
Yes. Out on the fen edge at Ramsey wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they would in a sheltered street.
Will you patch our Ramsey roof, or push a full replacement?
Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Ramsey property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
