Roof Repairs in Cambridge

Cambridge has a lot of roofs looked after from a distance: houses let to tenants, homes of people who work long hours, flats where nobody is quite sure whose roof it is. Small faults go unnoticed until a ceiling stains. We make repairs simple to arrange. You get photos of the fault, a written quote, and a clear account of what we did.

Faults we fix most often

  • Slipped or cracked slates on the Victorian terraces, refixed or replaced to match
  • Tired lead at chimneys, dormers and valleys, renewed with step flashing where it meets brickwork
  • Failed mortar ridges and verges, rebedded or replaced with a dry system where that suits the roof
  • Felt failure at the eaves, opened up, renewed and fitted with an eaves support tray
  • Leaks around dormers and rooflights added during loft conversions

Repairs in a conservation area

Much of Cambridge is covered by conservation areas, and like-for-like repairs are the norm there. We match slate and tile to what is on the roof already. Where a repair would change the look of a street-facing roof, we tell you before we start so you can check with the council.

A repair, not a sales pitch

Our customers mention one thing more than most: we tell them when a localised repair will sort the problem. If your roof needs a few slates and a length of lead, that is what we quote. If it is past repair, we show you why in photos instead of just saying so.

Arranging it

  1. Ring 01234 634 016 or email info@ultimateroofcare.co.uk with what you can see
  2. We visit, look from the loft and the roof, and take photos
  3. You get a written quote, and we agree a day that suits you, or your tenant if the house is let
  4. We carry out the repair, clear up, and talk you through what was done

Distance and emergencies

Cambridge is about 30 miles from Bedford along the A428, and the drive usually takes under an hour. For leaks and storm damage we run a 24-hour call-out, so a roof that lets go overnight can be made safe and then repaired properly.

How we work

Honest roofers: what the roof needs, not what pays best

Read our Google reviews and the same things come up: honest advice, the most detailed quote they received, and a team who arrive smart and leave the site tidy.

  1. 01 A repair when a repair will do

    A Bedford customer with a chimney leak got new lead and a metre of felt, not a new roof. "There was no need to start doing loads of unnecessary work," in her words.

  2. 02 Itemised, line by line

    Scaffold, skip, materials, even the portable toilet on a big job. You see exactly what you are paying for.

  3. 03 Quick when it is leaking

    Customers who called in the early evening with water coming in had us there the next day.

  4. 04 Done the proper way

    Dry ridge and verge systems, eaves support trays, welded lead, breathable membranes, and moss scraped off by hand. We never jet-wash a roof.

A 120-year-old roof, matched to the original

“The finished roof looks great, and is an excellent match to the original which is important in Letchworth.”
Kevin Google review
We noticed the felt in our loft was deteriorating quite badly, so decided it was time to get the roof replaced. We had three different companies out to quote, with Jude from Ultimate Roof Care being the last. Jude came across really well, very polite and well spoken, and took the time to explain everything properly. His quotation was by far the most detailed, with everything clearly itemised so we knew exactly what we were paying for. The team did exactly what was promised and we're really pleased with our new roof. We'd seen their vans working around Bedfordshire before, which was reassuring too. More than happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend Ultimate Roof Care.

We had a bad leak coming into the roof and couldn't work out where it was coming from. We called Jude and he came out, had a proper look and identified the problem around the chimney. Our house was built in the 1980s and he showed us where the old felt had started collapsing around that area. One of his guys then came out and replaced the lead around the chimney as well as roughly a metre of felt around it. Jude explained that there was no need to start doing loads of unnecessary work and that a localised repair should sort the problem, which we really appreciated. The exact area where the water was coming in before has stayed completely dry. Really happy with the repair and thought the price was very fair. The guys were polite, turned up looking smart and were very professional. We're based in Bedford and would definitely recommend them.

We'd been having problems with a leak on our bungalow roof, despite previously having another roofing company out, so we decided it was time to have the whole roof replaced. Jude was brilliant from the start, and the detail in their quotation was on another level compared to the others we received. Everything was explained step by step, from the scaffolding and materials being delivered to the skip, even a portable toilet for the workers. Their price was very competitive too, but it was really the attention to detail and how professional they were that made us choose them. What a great company. We couldn't recommend Ultimate Roof Care enough!

I had spray foam insulation in my loft which was causing issues with selling my property. Jude explained the full process, gave me a clear written quote and even arranged for an electrician to safely disconnect and reconnect my solar panels. Once the foam was removed, they bagged and cleared every bit of waste and left the loft spotless. The surveyor who came afterwards commented on the quality of the job. True professionals, I'd highly recommend them.

I booked a roof MOT with Ultimate Roofcare because I wanted to be sure everything was in good condition before the winter. They showed me photos of a couple of cracked tiles and some minor pointing that needed attention, but reassured me the rest of the roof was in good shape. They fixed everything there and then at a very fair price. No pushy sales, just genuine advice and quality workmanship.
Freddie Google
After the really heavy rain the other day we had quite a bad leak come through and called Jude at around 5 or 6 in the evening. He came out the very next day. Owen then came out shortly afterwards and got the repair sorted for us. They opened up roughly a metre along the bottom of the roof, renewed the felt in that area and fitted a new eaves support tray system. We've had more rain since and everything has stayed completely dry.
Samuel Google
Jude and his efficient team of workers have done a complete roof replacement with slates on our 200 year old house. They have done an excellent job and the roof is now entirely watertight and looks very smart. Quality materials and experienced skills have resulted in a great job and peace of mind for us. Thankyou to all. Richard and Lorna

I found Ultimate Roofcare in the local Bedford Bulletin. Joe came along to check out the loft. Jude came along later in one of his branded vehicles (big reassurance) and explained that he could do the job in 4 days with 8-10 men. By Wednesday evening the roof tiles had been removed and replaced, a new roof lining installed, 3 layers of insulation placed between the joists, ventilated soffits and new gutters fitted and a good tidy-up completed. If you need any roofing or loft work done, you would struggle to find a better company.

Before you ring

Questions we get asked

Can you repair a roof on a house I let out?

Yes. Tell us who to contact for access and we'll arrange a time with your tenant. You get the photos and the written quote, so you can decide without visiting yourself.

My leak is around a loft conversion dormer. Can you help?

Yes. Dormer leaks usually come from the lead cheeks, the flat roof on top, or the junction with the main slope. We check all three before deciding what to fix.

Can you match the old slates on my terrace?

We match natural slate as closely as we can on size, colour and thickness, so the repair sits in with the rest of the roof and does not stand out from the street.
