How long does a new roof last?
Depending on materials, a quality install lasts anywhere from 20 years (composition shingle) to 50+ years (concrete tile or slate). Our factory-certified installs typically last longer than the manufacturer's average.

Yes! All our complete re-roofs and new builds come with a comprehensive 10 to 25-year insurance-backed workmanship guarantee alongside manufacturer material warranties.
How fast can someone come out for an estimate?
We provide free on-site inspections within 24 to 48 hours across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. For urgent leak emergencies, our crew can arrive same-day.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes, we work directly with loss adjusters and insurance providers. We provide comprehensive photo/video evidence from drone surveys to support your storm or emergency damage claim.
What does a new roof cost?
Roofing costs depend on roof square footage, pitch, tile or slate type, and access requirements. We provide transparent, itemized fixed-price quotes before any work begins with zero hidden fees.
Do you offer financing or stage payments?
We offer structured stage payments upon job milestones, so you only pay as work progresses to your complete satisfaction.
