Roofers in Ely
Pitched, flat, slate and lead specialists serving Ely and the surrounding area. 30+ years' experience. Free written quotes.
Ely is a historic cathedral city sitting on a low rise of clay above the surrounding Fens. The property stock spans medieval and Georgian buildings around the cathedral, Victorian railway-era terraces, mid-century housing on the Lynn Road and Cambridge Road approaches, and modern estates in Little Downham, Witchford and Stuntney.
Many Ely roofs sit on buildings that have moved seasonally over decades because the underlying peat fenland shrinks and swells with the water table. We see warped ridges, opened-up lead valleys and twisted gables that need addressing as a roof job, even when the root cause is below ground.

How quickly can you attend an emergency roof leak?
Most emergencies are attended same-day during daylight hours. We'll make the roof watertight first and quote any permanent repair separately, so you're not under pressure to decide on a major job in the rain.
Do you provide a free written roof quote?
Yes, every quote is free, written, itemised, and carries no obligation. We'll inspect, photograph, explain what we've found, and put it in writing so you can compare like for like against any other quote.
What guarantee comes with your roofing work?
Full re-roofs carry a written workmanship guarantee. Repair work is guaranteed against the same fault recurring within the guarantee period. Manufacturer guarantees on materials (tiles, membranes, EPDM) are passed on in full.
