Compare Peterborough roofers
Answer four questions. We pass your job to vetted roofers who cover your postcode, and they come back to you with quotes. No charge, no obligation.
We pass your details only to roofing firms that cover your postcode, so they can quote. We never sell your details on for other purposes. See our privacy notice.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute of your time, and no cost to you at any point.
Tell us the postcode and the job
Four short questions. The postcode matters because a roofer based in Yaxley and one based in Werrington do not necessarily cover the same streets.
We match you to firms that cover you
We only pass your job to firms we have checked: real trading history, the insurance you would expect, and genuine coverage of your postcode rather than a national call centre.
They quote, you decide
The roofers contact you directly. Compare them against our guide prices, pick one, or pick none. You are never committed to anything.
Roofing work we cover in Peterborough
Whatever is wrong with the roof, the starting point is the same: find out what the job should cost, then get people who do that specific work to price it.
Roof repairs
Slipped tiles, failed flashing, a leak you cannot place. The most common call we get and usually the cheapest to fix if caught early.
Read moreNew roofs
Full strip and re-cover. Relevant across the townships now, where a lot of original 1970s coverings are reaching the end of their service life.
Read moreFlat roofing
Extensions, dormers, garages and the flat-roofed sections that came as standard on a lot of township housing.
Read moreEmergency roofing
Water coming in now. Temporary cover first, proper repair second, and a warning about who turns up after a storm.
Read moreTiling and slating
Concrete tile, clay, natural and reconstituted slate, and the stone slate roofs out towards Wansford and Barnack.
Read moreChimney repairs
Repointing, flaunching, flashing and removal. Chimneys cause a surprising share of the leaks blamed on roofs.
Read moreGuttering, fascias and soffits
The cheap thing that prevents the expensive thing. Overflowing gutters soak walls and rot roof timbers.
Read moreRoof cleaning and moss removal
Worth doing, easy to overdo. Where it helps, where it is sold unnecessarily, and how not to wreck a roof with a pressure washer.
Read moreKnow the price before anyone quotes you
The single biggest reason people overpay for roofing is that they have no reference point. One quote arrives, it sounds like a lot, and there is nothing to compare it against.
So we publish researched guide ranges for every common job in Peterborough, updated as material and labour costs move. They are not offers and no roofer is bound by them. They exist so that when a number lands in front of you, you already know roughly where it should sit.
- Guide ranges for repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs and chimneys
- What actually drives the price up on a Peterborough house
- The quote red flags worth walking away from
Peterborough is not one roofing market, it is several
A Victorian terrace off Lincoln Road, a 1970s township house in Bretton and a 2005 estate house in Hampton have almost nothing in common on the roof. The work, the materials and the price are all different.
Bretton
The first of the New Town townships, begun in 1970. Housing here is now over 50 years old and a lot of it is on its original covering.
Read moreOrton
Township housing plus the older village cores at Orton Longueville and Orton Waterville, both conservation areas with tighter rules.
Read moreWerrington
A township wrapped around an old village core that is itself a conservation area, so two very different sets of roofing considerations.
Read moreHampton
Started in 1996 on the old brick fields and still growing. Young roofs, so the issues are workmanship and detailing rather than age.
Read moreMillfield and New England
Victorian and Edwardian terraces built around the railway. Slate, valley gutters, party walls and shared access.
Read moreThe villages
Barnack, Wansford, Castor, Helpston and the rest, where Collyweston stone slate and conservation area consent change the job completely.

We would rather show you a short list we can stand behind than a long one we cannot.
Big Red Roofing
A Cambridgeshire roofing contractor trading from Wisbech with a 50-mile working radius that takes in the whole of Peterborough. Domestic pitched and flat roofing, repairs, chimneys, fascias and guttering.

We list a firm here only once we have checked that it is a real trading business, that it is registered where it says it is, and that it genuinely works in this part of Cambridgeshire. We do not publish star ratings we cannot evidence, and we do not rank firms by who pays most. If you would like your firm considered, get in touch.
What we are, and what we are not
Plenty of sites that look like this one are quietly owned by a single roofing firm, or by a national lead broker selling the same enquiry to six companies at once. We would rather just tell you how this one works.
Roofers in Peterborough is run by Watts Marketing Ltd. We are not roofers. We have never been on your roof and we never will be. What we do is check out roofing firms, publish honest guide pricing, and pass your enquiry to the ones that cover your postcode. Those firms pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing.
- You are never charged, and there is no obligation to accept any quote
- We tell you the guide price before a roofer does, not after
- We do not rank firms by who pays us the most
- We do not publish review scores we cannot evidence
If a quote you get through us is out of line with our own guide range, say so. That is exactly what the ranges are for, and it is useful feedback on the firm.
Frequently asked questions
No. The service is free to homeowners and landlords. Participating roofing firms pay us for the introduction, which is how it is funded.
You are not charged for quotes, and you are under no obligation to accept any of them.
No. Roofers in Peterborough is a quote-comparison and introduction service operated by Watts Marketing Ltd. We do not carry out roofing work.
Any contract, guarantee and the quality of the work are between you and the roofing firm you choose.
Up to three, and often fewer. We would rather send your job to two firms that genuinely cover your street than six that do not.
If nobody suitable covers your postcode we will tell you rather than pass your details to someone unsuitable.
We confirm the business is really trading and registered where it says it is, that it holds the insurance you would expect for roofing work, and that it genuinely works in the postcodes it claims to cover.
That is a floor, not a guarantee. You should still ask for the insurance certificate, references for similar local jobs and a written quote before you commit to anyone.
The whole city and the surrounding PE postcodes, including Bretton, the Ortons, Werrington, Hampton, Millfield, New England, Dogsthorpe, Walton, Paston, Stanground, Fletton, Woodston and Longthorpe.
We also cover the villages, including Castor, Ailsworth, Barnack, Wansford, Helpston, Glinton, Northborough, Eye and Thorney, plus Yaxley, Whittlesey and Market Deeping.
That is fine, and it is why the cost guides exist. Read those first and only fill the form in when you actually want somebody to quote.
Selecting just planning and pricing in the form tells the roofers you are not ready to book, so you get a price without the pressure.
