A lot of our work is in Ipswich. Look through our Checkatrade reviews and you'll see job after job in IP1, IP2, IP3 and IP4: slipped slates replaced the next day, chimneys re-leaded, a single-storey extension re-roofed, an emergency leak traced and fixed before a family went on holiday.
We're based just outside Colchester, about 19 miles down the A12, so Ipswich is part of our regular patch rather than an occasional trip. Lee looks at every job himself before he quotes, and you get a written price and photos of the work.

Ipswich roofs we work on
Ipswich has a real mix. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, California, St Clement's and the streets off Norwich Road and Spring Road were mostly built with Welsh slate, which lasts well but eventually slips and cracks as the nails rust. We replace individual slates and re-slate whole roofs.
Further out, the 1930s and post-war estates in Whitton, Chantry, Gainsborough and Priory Heath tend to have concrete or clay tiles, ridges bedded in mortar and plenty of flat-roofed garages and extensions. Newer areas such as Ravenswood and the Kesgrave edge have dry ridge and dry verge systems, which need different repairs. Parts of the centre and the Wet Dock are conservation areas, where materials matter if you're changing anything.
