New Roofs & Re-Roofing in Huntingdon

If your roof in Huntingdon is past repairing and you are thinking about a new one, call Big Red Roofing on [PHONE] for a free, fixed-price quote. We are a family-run roofing company based in town, and we give every job the same care we would give our own home. A new roof is a big decision, so we take the time to look at it properly, explain your options in plain English, and put a clear written price in your hands before any work starts.

What a new roof from us includes

A roof is more than the tiles you see from the pavement. When we strip and re-roof a house, we replace the whole system, not just the covering, so you get a roof that genuinely lasts. Here is what goes into it.

• Full strip and re-roof, the old covering removed and taken away, the roof rebuilt from the rafters up.
• Tile or slate, matched to your home and your budget, from concrete and clay tiles to natural and fibre cement slate.
• New breathable membrane and battens for a dry, well-ventilated roof that does not trap condensation.
• Dry verge and dry ridge systems that clip and screw into place, so there is no mortar to crack and let water in.
• Rotten timbers checked and replaced while the roof is open, so the structure underneath is sound.
• Building-regs compliant work with proper ventilation and insulation, done to current standards.
• A tidy site and a fixed price, the rubbish goes with us and the price we quote is the price you pay.

The signs your roof needs replacing

Roofs do not last forever. If yours is forty or fifty years old and you are paying for repair after repair, you are probably throwing good money after bad. The tell-tale signs are tiles that crumble or lift in handfuls, a roofline that sags or dips, daylight showing through the loft, widespread damp across the underside of the boards, and gritty deposits in the gutters that show the tiles are wearing through. If a storm took half your slope off, or if a survey for a house sale flagged the roof, that is also the moment to think about a full re-roof rather than another patch.

Cambridgeshire weather is hard on old roofs. The wind that runs across the flat Fen country works at every weak point, and an aging roof with cracked mortar and tired tiles gives it plenty to work with. A new roof puts a stop to it. If you are not sure whether yours has reached the end, we will tell you honestly, and if a repair will buy you more years, we will say so.

How we do it properly

We start by getting up on the roof and into the loft so we can see exactly what we are dealing with. Then you get a written quote that spells out the materials, the work and the price, with no vague allowances that creep up later. On the job, we scaffold safely, strip the old roof, deal with any rotten timber, lay the new membrane and battens, and fit the tiles or slate with the new ridge and verge systems. We sheet up to keep the inside dry if the weather turns, and we tidy the site at the end of every day. When we finish, the only thing left behind is a roof built to last.

What makes Big Red different

We are local and family-run, and a new roof is the kind of job where that matters most. You are trusting someone with the biggest single thing protecting your home, so you want a roofer who will be around afterwards, not a passing trader. When you call, you talk to the people who will be on your roof. You get a fixed written price, fully insured work and a workmanship guarantee, and we are happy to show you re-roofs we have done nearby. We also fit fresh fascias, soffits and guttering while the scaffold is up, which is the smart time to do it, and we cover the whole area, see our areas we cover page. Ready to talk it through?
