Roof repairs in St Neots

Already working in PE19

St Neots is one of our nearest towns, a short run east of Bedford and on the same river, the Great Ouse. We've carried out roof repairs in PE19, and that customer reviewed us on Checkatrade afterwards. So when you ring from St Neots, you're ringing a team that knows the way.

What to tell us when you ring

A few details help us turn up with the right kit the first time:

• Where the water shows inside, and whether it only happens in wind-driven rain
• Anything you can see from the ground: a slipped tile, a gap at the ridge, lifted lead
• Roughly how old the house is
• Whether it's a house, a bungalow or a flat-roofed extension

Repair or replace: how we decide

We won't push a new roof on you. We look at three things:

1. The covering. Are tiles failing in one spot, or all over?
2. The felt. Torn at one corner, or perished across the whole roof?
3. The timbers. Sound, or soft from water getting in for a long time?

If the problem is in one place, it's a repair. You'll get photos either way, so you're not taking our word for it.

Repairs we carry out round St Neots

Older houses near the Market Square and in Eynesbury, the estates the town grew into after the war, and newer homes at Loves Farm all go wrong in different ways. The work we're asked for most:

• Ridge tiles rebedded, or swapped for a dry ridge system
• Cracked cement verges rebedded with a new undercloak
• Eaves felt renewed and eaves support trays fitted
• Lead flashing replaced round chimneys and walls
• Valleys rebuilt, including dry valley systems
• Slipped and broken tiles or slates put back

Leaks out of hours

For leaks and storm damage we run a 24-hour call-out. The first job is to stop the water. Once it's safe, we come back, quote in writing and do the proper repair. Customers have told us we were out the day after they rang in the early evening, and that's how we like to work.
