Peterborough's housing stock, from a roofer's point of view

Peterborough is really two cities on one skyline. Around the cathedral sits the historic core: period brick and stone stock with older slate and clay roofs that need sympathetic repair. Ringing it are the new-town townships built from the 1970s onwards, Bretton, Orton and Werrington among them, plus the modern developments still going up, almost all under interlocking concrete tile. The 1970s estates are now hitting the 50-year mark, where original felt, battens and mortar verges fail together. And with the flat fens offering no shelter, wind-lifted tiles and ridge damage after storms are the area's most common call-out.

Finding a good roofer in Peterborough

The checks are the same everywhere, and most cowboy jobs fail them all: proof of public liability insurance, a verifiable trading history under a real business name, a written itemised quote rather than a figure over the phone, references or photos from recent local jobs, and a written guarantee on workmanship. Never pay a large deposit to someone who knocked on your door after a storm. Our guide to choosing a roofer walks through each check, and every roofer in our network has already passed them.
