New Roofs and Re-Roofing in Peterborough
Peterborough’s PE1 area covers the city centre around the cathedral and Victorian terraced streets, with newer housing further out. Slate and tile roofs, chimney stacks, flat roofs and commercial roofs all form part of our work here.
From traditional pitched roofs to flat roofs, we have the expertise to carry out complete re-roofing. Spotting the signs of deterioration early matters, because left untreated they usually mean the whole roof has to be replaced.
A patch repair is not always the most economical choice, and a new roof can save money over the longer term. We talk you through efficient, up-to-date materials and methods so the new roof is a worthwhile investment in your property.
We will come out, inspect the roof and give you pricing for each option, with costs depending on the size of the property and the area of roof. For a free quote on a new roof in Peterborough, call 07467 757 367.

Why Peterborough Properties Need the Right New Roofs
Some of the Victorian terraces in Peterborough may still have their original slate roofs, and after so long, some are beyond economical repair. When slates are slipping across the whole roof, battens are rotten or there is no proper underlay, re-roofing is usually the more sensible long-term option.
We carry out complete re-roofs of pitched and flat roofs, and we will say plainly when a patch repair no longer makes sense. A new roof is also the time to consider efficient options, such as adding insulation or improving ventilation. Every job begins with a site visit and a quote based on the size and type of roof. On terraces we take care with shared details such as party walls and valleys. Listed buildings or homes in a conservation area may need consent, so check with the city council. We also cover Stamford and Bourne.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Peterborough. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Peterborough City Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

New Roofs FAQs for Peterborough
Should I re-roof my Peterborough terrace in slate or tile?
Slate keeps the original look of many Victorian terraces and keeps the street consistent, while other materials may cost less. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, the choice may be restricted, so it is worth checking with the council. We will talk through the options during the site visit.
Can you re-roof flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes. We re-roof all types, from traditional tiled and slate roofs to flat roofs in GRP, felt or EPDM.
How much does a new roof cost?
Costs depend on the size of the property, the area of roof and the materials. We visit, inspect the roof and give you pricing for the options available.
Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
If the problem is isolated, a repair is usually fine. When the roof is failing in several places, re-roofing can be cheaper over the longer term. We will give you an honest view.
Will you help me choose materials?
Yes. We advise on efficient options and up-to-date materials so the new roof suits your property and budget.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to the roof shape or materials may need consent from your council.
