24 Hour Roof Repairs in Great Shelford
Great Shelford is a popular village south of Cambridge with period cottages, large Victorian and Edwardian houses and newer detached homes. Roofs here range from old clay tiles and slate to modern concrete tiles.
A damaged roof can quickly lead to damp, rot and ruined ceilings, so repairs need to be done properly. We offer a 24-hour roof repair service in Great Shelford for both homes and businesses, and if a problem looks serious we will get an experienced roofer out to assess it and make it safe.
We repair tiled roofs, slate roofs, flat roofs, lead roofs and corrugated roofs. If we need parts we do not carry, we can source them quickly through our network of suppliers, and we are upfront about timescales and costs, with no hidden surprises.
We regularly fix roofs that were badly repaired by other contractors, and we will never take advantage of an emergency by inflating our prices.

Why Great Shelford Properties Need the Right Roof Repairs
Slate roofs on Victorian and Edwardian homes in Great Shelford often develop problems slowly. Nails corrode, slates slip one by one and lead in valleys and around bays wears thin. Old clay tiles on period cottages can become porous and crack, while newer homes tend to need concrete tiles and ridges secured.
Our 24-hour roof repair service covers tiled, slate, flat, lead and corrugated roofs, so we can deal with whatever your home has. We will happily fix work done by other contractors, and our suppliers help us source parts quickly. The price we agree has no hidden costs. We offer roof repairs throughout Great Shelford and in Duxford and Fulbourn.
Our second office serves Cambridgeshire and the neighbouring counties, so Great Shelford is part of our regular working area. 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 South Cambridgeshire District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Yes. We are happy to put right work done by other contractors, and we will explain what went wrong and what is needed to fix it properly.
What types of roof do you repair?
We repair tiled, slate, flat, lead and corrugated roofs on houses, flats and commercial buildings.
What are the signs my roof needs repairing?
Water stains on ceilings, damp patches in the loft, slipped or missing tiles, loose ridge tiles, sagging gutters and daylight showing through the roof are all signs it is time to call a roofer.
How much does a roof repair cost in Great Shelford?
It depends on the type of roof, the cause of the problem and access. We inspect the roof first and give you a clear price with no hidden surprises or shock costs.
