We install new roofs on homes and commercial buildings across Cambridge, from traditional clay and concrete tiles to natural slate. Every new roof is built to last, using materials matched to your property's age, style, and planning requirements. We handle everything from stripping the old structure to the final ridge and flashing.

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you can make in a Cambridge property. Whether you're building a new home in Trumpington, adding an extension in Cherry Hinton, or replacing a structurally failing roof on an older terrace in Romsey, getting the specification right from the start determines how long the roof performs. A poorly designed or rushed installation can fail within a few years — proper work should last 40 to 60 years or more.
The work starts with a structural check of the rafters and roof timbers. We replace any damaged timbers before laying breathable roofing felt, then battens, then your chosen tile or slate. We fit new lead flashings around chimneys, skylights, and abutments, and finish with a pointed ridge. On older Cambridge properties — particularly Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis — we take care to match materials to planning guidance where conservation rules apply.
Skimping on a new roof to save money upfront usually costs more in the long run. A correctly installed roof with quality underlay and good ventilation prevents condensation, reduces heat loss, and protects your ceilings and timbers from water damage. Using a professional roofer also means the work carries a proper guarantee and meets building regulations.
We carry out a free survey before quoting, so you know exactly what's included. Most new roof installations on a standard three-bedroom semi take three to five days depending on weather. We provide a written guarantee on all workmanship, and we're fully insured for public liability. A new tiled or slated roof in Cambridge typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000 for a standard residential property, depending on size, pitch, and material choice.
