Cambridge Roofers Ltd has carried out roof surveys for people buying houses, with one reviewer describing a thorough report on a flat roof. Reviewers also report flat roof replacement, full re-roofing with loft insulation, a roof-integrated solar system, and gutter repairs, with one reviewer saying their flat roof was replaced by a very polite and experienced roofer. Several reviewers mention clear communication and polite, tidy teams, and one says their solar system was worked on brilliantly. Criticism includes a reviewer who was rescheduled three times and then not visited, another who was quoted for a whole roof they did not need, and one who says cracks appeared in all of the verges and a ridge needed replacing after work. One reviewer says a roof was cleaned but a requested gutter quote was never followed up, and another reports a still-leaking pitched roof, a dispute over a refund, and a condition attached to an offer of further repair.
I asked Cambridge Roofers for an assessment of a flat roof on a flat I am purchasing. They did an incredibly thorough report, turned around in a matter of days. It was really useful and gave me a clear indication of what is required for the roof replacement and expectation of costs. Excellent service, thank you!
I asked this company to come out look at my sisters roof, they didn’t arrive they rescheduled 3 more times and still no show.. very unprofessional
As the on-site buildings manager of a private residential estate, I have had the pleasure of working with the Cambridge roofers company, in the removal of the failed bullnose edge detail of our flat asphalt roof. I would like to give special thanks to Lewis ( site foreman) Ben and Brandon of the Cambridge roofers company for carrying out this huge task. The respect they showed to our 111 residents and the respect to the grounds of the estate was nothing but amazing with nothing but good compliments given by our residents. I couldn’t give these three guys enough praise, it was a pleasure to have them on-site and I hope to work with Lewis,Ben and Brandon hopefully on phase two of the roof project in 2026. Kind regards Kevin.
Cambridge Roofers recently completed a full re-roof of my house and also installed loft insulation. I could not be happier with the result. The quality of the work is excellent, and it was clear throughout that the team are highly skilled and take great pride in what they do. They were professional, friendly, and extremely hard working from start to finish. Communication was clear and straightforward, and the whole process was made easy and stress free. The attention to detail and workmanship are of a very high standard, and the finished roof looks superb. I would strongly recommend Cambridge Roofers to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and trustworthy roofing specialists.
Excellent service, communication & work. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Cambridge Roofers. I have dealt with two so-called (Cambridge) Premier roofers over the years and neither of them are a match for the standard of work and expertise delivered by Cambridge Roofers. From the initial survey by Sean, to the work completed by Lou, Ash and Luke on the flat roof. And then the team working on the pitched roof ensured every element was completed within timeframe with the team remaining on site until 9 o’clock on a Friday evening to get the work finished. Excellent service, wish I had found them sooner
Professional and reliable services,highly recommend.
Cambridge Roofers installed a 7 kW roof-integrated solar pv system with integrated Velux roof windows, and then enclosed the whole system with a new tiled roof. The specification planning and consultation phase was thorough, and the quality of the workmanship outstanding. Particular credit goes to Ryan (solar) and Simon (roofing/Velux) who were truly amazing, and great to liaise with on site. Thoroughly recommend George and his team.
George provided me with a professional and helpful service. He was always swift in replying to my calls and emails. Jade Turner Chartered Surveyor
George, Mark and team have been amazing! Knowledgable roof specialists who provide honest pricing and advice, proper workmanship, tidy, efficient, helpful and considerate. Extremely helpful with videos and roof survey documentation before and after work completed. Highly recommend! Thank you so much for all your help, support and hard work!
Although we haven't had any work done by Cambridge Roofers, they have been helping advise us navigate a tricky situation. Embarrassingly, we seem to have fallen prey to what appears to be a rogue trader, who kept pressurising us into doing more and more repairs to our roof, after being called out to do something relatively minor. George, the managing director, called me straight away after I sent an enquiry to his company about wanting a second opinion of these escalating works and costs. He immediately called me to say there were numerous red flags. He gave me fantastic advice, directing me to citizens advice, as well as helping me draft some emails with details about the consumer protection rights act. He was even on the phone to us over a weekend. Further, he kindly visited our house and had one of his surveyors check out our roof and works as well as provide a quotation to have done equivalent works, so we can see by how much we have been overcharged. After inspecting our roof, his professional surveyor notified us that no further works were required on our roof, and it indeed looks like we have been scammed. George and his team went above and beyond to help us out, when he really didnt have to. The company appears to genuinely care about their customers and broader community. Thank you so much to him and his team!
I’ve used Cambridge Roofers several times over the years. George and Sean gave me excellent advice and never pushed me to spend more than needed. Just had both my flat and pitched roofs replaced, and I’m absolutely delighted with the outcome. Highly recommend them! Thanks, Trevor Monks, Cherry Hinton.
Cambridge Roofers is very reliable and helpful company. They work on my solar system brilliantly. I can recommend them to anybody!
I’m very impressed with the speed and professionalism of Cambridge Roofers. With the vast winds and rain at the moment they sent someone straight round from contact to order and replace some broken roof tiles preventing any leaks with the bad weather looming. Thank you so much will definitely be recommending your company.
My mother had an issue with the flat roof leaking so I contacted Cambridge roofers to see if they could address the issue. They came first to look at the issue and talked through the solution. The climbed up and took photos and videos of the affected area and sent these through along with the quote which I accepted. Another date was arranged to complete the works and it was completed by a very polite and experienced roofer (30+ years). The work was done in a day and looked like it had addressed the problem. There has been very heavy rain over the past few days and there was no sign of the leak, so it looks like the issue has been addressed. From start to finish the experience was professional and easy. Each step was explained to me, documents were virtually signed, photographs were provided and there was good communication from Cambridge Roofers. I would recommend them as they made my life easy as a customer, left the site clean and did a good job.
A friend of mine recommended Cambridge roofers when my chimney started to show signs of wear and tear. I contacted Cambridge roofers and Sean came out to look at my house. He sent a drone up to assess the overall roof as well as just the chimney. It was quite relieving to know that the majority of my roof was ok but he did highlight some points that needed looking at in the long-term The quote arrived within two days of the site visit which I promptly accepted. The work was carried out within two weeks and I cannot fault the communication. I was kept updated at every stage. I'm very happy with the results of the work and would highly recommend Cambridge roofers.
They quote to replace the whole roof, when you don't need it. I got my roof repaired by a skilled local builder for a tiny fraction of the cost of this exorbitant company. They'll try and take away your good traditional slates and replace them with modern cheap ones. They come with a drone and photograph your roof instead of coming with a ladder to take a good look. They quote a very high price. Avoid. There is no misunderstanding about the facts here.
I had my roof cleaned with Cambridge Roofers few weeks ago and was satisfied with the service. While the engineers were cleaning the roof noticed that one of the gutters was not pitched correctly and advised that it should be fixed so I don't get water running through my doors and windows. I did ask if that was something they could do but was told to ask for another quote since that wasn't agreed to be done on the day. After paying for the roof cleaning service I have asked Cambridge Roofers multiple times for a quote to fix my gutters but never heard back from them. That is the reason I am not giving a 5star review, since I believe when it comes to minor works/amends they're not that responsive.
I had big problem in my roof I called 7 company's I didn't trust any of them they give price 7k ,6k 3.5k price max give me 5 warranty, every roofers I worked they were dogy didn't do good job.then I called cambridge roofer they came from 60 Miles ,I cant remember the man name he look the roof talk to me very positive give me price 3.8 k price I looked his face few second my heart said trust this man and his company I said go head ,they came done it in 3 days instead of 2 days because other roofers didn't take out old felt and timbers they put top of old felt ,they didn't charge me extra money for that, also they fix sky light before was water dripping from sky light they used special paint for it. I had 7 or 8 roofers number in my phone today ,tomorrow will be only cambridge roofers number any body need roofer dont hesitate contact with them thank you boys if you com my town in future com my shop eat free fish and chips stella. mehmet.X
They really do go the extra mile to be useful.#guttercleaning #solarpanels #greenenergy #roofing
I noticed personally light poking through the verges in the corner. Within a few weeks of completion, cracks were seen in all of the verges. They installed a wet verge instead of advising for a dry verge. Entire ridge needs to be replaced because concrete was not done properly with the end tile being removable with light force with 1 finger. They just pointed it up, with none of the concrete setting in. Rear guttering was not installed properly with it not sloped correctly and hence pooled away from the down pipe. Fascia boards from the picture looked good, from above they siliconed in and fitted the wrong type. On the front of the house, the fascia was installed over the roots and old rotten fascia boards rather a proper replacement. George quoted me afterwards a cost to fix it, after the scaffolding was taken down despite myself requesting it beforehand. Debris was left strewn along the property afterwards. THEY PUT CARDBOARD UNDER THE TILES TO HIDE THE LIGHT. George was completely unavailabe and overcharged for the works. They appear to have reused material from other jobs.
George did fantastic work fixing our leaking gutters. He provided us with several options and all the information we needed to make an informed choice. The work was done in a quick and professional fashion. Highly recommended.
Highly efficient service carried out by very skilled, competent workers to an excellent standard. Would strongly recommend.
Garage felt roof blew off in storm Eunice. Cambridge Roofers came within hours of my call and put a temporary cover over. They soon came again and replaced the roof. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
I’ve been using Cambridge Roofers for a number of years. I first contracted them for carrying out minor repairs on one of my properties a number of years ago and received good advice which enabled me to carry out a small job allowing me to save money for more substantial work which was needed subsequently. Since then, George has been invaluable in advising me on multiple commercial properties that I own, even when he has not been in a position to carry out the work himself. As a landlord and multiple business owner, Georges advice and work has saved me thousands of pounds over the years. I cannot recommend George and his company highly enough.
I have worked with Roofing Cambridge on many different projects over the years; both commercial and private properties. The surveyors and roofers are extremely knowledgeable. They go out of their way to help and do a fantastic job. They have completed a range of jobs for me, including, insulation, flat roof work, pitched roof works, repointing, installing guttering, all manner of leaks! Their work is always at the best standard. They are punctual, tidy, worth the money and communication is excellent throughout.
Awful experience! I contracted this company on 12/8/2021 to repair my leaking pitched roof. Cambridge Roofers Ltd has worked on my roof twice with poor results, roof still leaking but the head roofer George insists that his company has performed high standard quality roof repairs but unfortunately his company roofing repairs cannot be guaranteed!! I chose this company because it’s on The buy with confidence scheme with Trading Standards. I have already raised a formal complaint to Trading Standards. Since George insisted that he had repaired my roof using reasonable skills and care, Trading Standards advised me to have a third party survey the roof. So I contracted an independent roof surveyor to evaluate the work done by Cambridge roofers and the report has spotted the leak cause . I sent the report to George and he offered to repair the roof based on the roof survey report recommendations . His offer was conditional: he would do so if I retracted the negative review on The Buy with Confidence website.!! I have lost confidence with Cambridge Roofers Ltd and I prefer another roofer to repair my roof. George declines to refund my money and says he can only do so under a court order! Awful! My roof is still leaking, I have lost money and now going to court!!
I asked Roofing Cambridge for an assessment and a quote of a garage roof replacement job. They promised to assess and reply within a couple of days. I rang a week later and was promised a reply on the same day. I rang again a week later still - the same thing happened. After 3 weeks of chasing I gave up.
Excellent. We had been experiencing some damp on our exterior walls and had been having a nightmare getting the developer to look at it. George was brilliant and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond for us and was professional, prompt and efficient. Would definitely use again.
George and the team are excellent. We had a detailed inspection of our problem and a quote within 48 hours of posting the job. Everything was handled transparently and fairly and any queries were dealt with really quickly. The job was carried out by a well qualified and friendly team ahead of schedule and George came to inspect the work before signing off. Very happy with the service and will definitely use again if required.
Really good service. Clear and precise on what needed to be done and what didn’t need doing. Didn’t look to over do the job. Happy customer.
Professional service, very happy.
George and his team are great! Work carried out to budget and schedule. Couldn't ask for any more!!!
I would like to recommend George Sugden and his work mates for roofing work. He is professional, efficient and knows his job as well.
I was very impressed by George’s visit to inspect the roof of my house. When needed, I will use his advice and expertise to do any repairs needed.
George is brilliant. We were suffering from a leaking roof every time that it rained. George came to visit and, in spite of difficult access, crumbling tiles and more problems arising the closer he looked, George persisted and was incredibly professional and now our roof is water tight; and all of that within a couple of hours. Thank you George for the attention you gave our roof, we won't hesitate to contact you if we are in need of a roofer again.
George's expertise was very helpful in investigating and producing a professional report of the problems with the roof of the house we were buying. In the end it saved us several thousand pounds when the vendors agreed to renew the roof before we proceeded with the purchase.
Extremely happy with the completed roof where quality materials have been used. A high standard of work with a professional finish. I will therefore very much recommend them to friends and family.
Very good service . Quote issued within a few days of me contacting Cambridge Roofers about some roof repairs and a bit of reroofing required. Work completed efficiently at the agreed time.
My roof leaked intermittently when it rained. Other contractors had looked at the issue and charged for ‘work’ but when in rained the problem came back. Then I contacted Cambridge Roofers, they provided a professional and comprehensive quote including labelled photographs of the issue - poorly fitted Velux windows. I accepted the quote and they did a very professionally job, they even gave me before and after photos. I have waited a number of months before posting this review and I haven’t had any further problems with the roof. I can’t recommended this company highly enough.
George’s team replaced our leaky flat roof and skylight. We had total confidence in them from the start, and were impressed by the prompt, courteous and professional standards of communication, helpful advice,and their skill and pride in their work. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Following a number of quotes from different companies, we decided on Roofing Cambridge - based on good communication and reliability. The gentleman who replaced our soffits and fascia, had impeccable manners and made sure we were completely happy with his work before leaving. We would definitely recommend this company.
We had a leaky garage roof that had been put in place in the early 1960s; Cambridge Roofers provided a competitive quote for a replacement with the most durable choice of material. The visit to do detailed measurements took place during one of last winter's (Feb 2017) storms -- no crying off for adverse conditions; and we even received some running repairs for the old roof in the process. The work itself was done quickly, and with minimal inconvenience, despite having to work around some awkward parts, like the side door and the part where the garage almost, but not quite joins the house; it has been great to have a garage that stays dry in the rain. As a testimony to the work done, one of my neighbours, who'd been talking about getting his garage roof done, saw what we'd had done, and followed suit.
Did a survey for a house purchase and actually looked at more than we had initially expected. The report was professional and highlighted some unexpected issues that resulted in a significant reduction in the asking price. Would definitely use again!
Cambridge roofers were fantastic from start to finish with quoting and installing some ventilation tiles in our roof. They pointed out extra concerns during the consultation such as broken guttering and repaired those too. Fantastic communication and very prompt service. I have recommended them to friends and family.
Very good communication with this company, keeping me up to date of the things I needed to know. It's so unusual to find that! They did a great job with my garage roof, they were done in good time, and were happy to show me around the progress as it was happening.
Cambridge roofers worked on the Dominican Priory of Cambridge, Blackfriars, on a rather awkwardly shaped piece of flat roof, which was leaking badly, and managed to repair the damage, and waterproof the whole section. I was really pleased with the work, and it has quite a test drive since then as we have had a lot of bad weather in the last few weeks. I am happy to recommend them for future work.
Roofing Cambridge performed a partial re-roof of my house last year. The quality of the work was high and a year later I've had no problems with the work. My property is, like many others in Cambridge, not easy to reach with a scaffold lorry, the Roofing Cambridge team were able to find a scaffolder with a smaller vehicle and willingness to brave the narrow streets. There was some minor damage, likely caused by the scaffolders, that Roofing Cambridge efficiently repaired at no cost.
We had our flat roof completely replaced. Dave and his team always arrived on schedule, explained everything in detail, were meticulous in protecting the roof overnight during the work, and were very pleasant to have around. One remaining problem was fixed the next day as promised. Would certainly recommend.
Roofing Cambridge gave us a quote for a tricky little job which at least two other companies had turned down. They then managed to fit us in earlier than expected. They were fast, neat, polite, hard-working, tidy - in short everything you could wish for. They have done excellent work on a less-than-straightforward small roof, and we are very happy with the results. Thank you Roofing Cambridge!
The roof on our recently purchased property was recommended to be replaced in the surveyors report. We were referred to Cambridge Roofers by a friend who they had done work for the previous year. David came out to provide us with an estimate and a secondary survey of the roof and he also carried out some minor repairs without charge on his first visit! He explained to us in great detail, what our options were and what to expect through the project. We recieved the quote (not the cheapest) but decided to appoint Cambridge Roofers based on the impression we got from David & the recommendation. The work was carried out 6 weeks later over 7 days. They even re-sited our satellite dish whilst the scaffolding was up. The roofers were polite, conscientious and tidied everything away at the end of each day. The new roof looks fantastic and 2 months later we are very pleased we chose this company and my wife & I would certainly use them for any roofing jobs in the future.
We would definitely recommend Cambridge Roofers. They did an excellent job, were very thorough and worked really quickly. We were also very impressed with the level of contact - our emails were answered really quickly. Very professional.
George was great from the word go, quick response, detailed quote with all bases covered, quick work and a good bloke too. Would recommend to anyone.
We had a serious leak at our work premise and called Cambridge Roofers, given the value of the equipment inside the building it was essential that a repair was done promptly. Cambridge roofers arrived the same day that we called and gave a repair. They followed up within the week and gave and a written guarantee provided by a specialist insurance firm. Prompt, professional and affordable. Thanks
Cambridge Roofers were very swift to arrange the repair to the leaky slate roof of my house. Very good service, and fixed a few bits and pieces as compensation for an accidental breakage of the glass in the loft hatch.
I am a local landlord and employed Cambridge Roofers to replace the porch roof and the main roof. They were very polite and courteous and nothing was too much trouble. They were quick and efficient. The tenants were particularly happy with the process which as a land lord is a huge plus and makes life much easier. They have since done a number of other jobs for me with expediency and good value. I am happy to recommend this company.
Had these guys out to do some work on our 4 dormers and chimney and they did a great job. Not only were they tidy friendly and full of good advice they also found a couple of other little problems that we didn't know we're there and fixed them for free. I would definitely use these guys again and would recommend them highly to any of my friends. Thank guys for a great job.
The bricks on my chimney were showing signs of wear, then I realised that my gutters were leaking. Cambridge Roofers were very quick to respond, coming out within a day of my call. The man who came to survey was very helpful, and even fixed the gutters for free! The estimate came in the post a few days later. We found that they were not the most expensive, but they were not the cheapest either. This gave us assurance that they would do a good job, while remaining well within our budget. We also liked the experience with the roofer, so making the decision to give them the job was not a difficult one. They came out promptly and the job was finished in a week. The roofers were polite, easy to talk to, and managed things well when the weather got in the way of things. We are very satisfied with the work, which is why I am happy to put this in writing and recommend them to friends and family.
Their response time was prompt and the quality of job was excellent! and additional job requested was also done professionally.
Cambridge Roofers were excellent. George Sugden came to give me an estimate on the day I rang and the work was completed in a week. It looks extremely well done, and dealing with George and Justin was a delight. There was no hard sell but all the facts and costs were given to me very clearly. Although obviously I hope never to see them again, I would recommend Cambridge Roofers very warmly, and indeed I have already given their name to a colleague.
Roofing Cambridge completely replaced the slate covered roof of our house in Benson Street last year. Everything went very well and we were very happy with the both quality of the work and the way it was carried out. Scaffold was erected without any difficulty or inconvenience and the roofers hardly disturbed us at all, not even accepting the usual cups of tea when offered. One of the roofers warned us in advance about what might be likely to happen internally when the work was done (ie the effect of nailing) and so we were able to avoid any 'collateral' problems ! We dealt with George to commission the work who was courteous, gave us an accurate estimate which was stuck to, a firm starting date and a written guarantee with a specialist insurance firm once the work was complete. As you can see from the above we were really satisfied with the whole experience
Really helpful advice and cost estimates. Many thanks George!
George Sugden came out just before Christmas and did a great job. He fixed my leaking gutters in next to no time (despite it being a windy day - not nice being up a ladder in those conditions, but he didn't complain). So glad I have had that job done; with all the rain we have had lately it would have been likely to cause problems elsewhere. Other contractors had quoted for the job and said that it might be necessary to replace all the guttering - but Roofing Cambridge were able to repair where necessary with new parts and at much less expense. A job well done and at a very reasonable price. Thank you, George.
Many thanks Cambridge Roofers - we were struggling to find anybody who was willing to give us as much as an estimate over the holidays and you guys did not just that but also had the most competitive offer. The service was excellent, first class quality work and I look forward working with you guys for a more significant roof job in the future.
We had a leak in our (newly-decorated!) bedroom over Christmas and Cambridge Roofers reassured us that it was a quick and easy fix. They came within days to look in the attic and chimney stack, and they fitted us in to repair the chimney as soon as they could. We're extremely happy with the professional attitude and speed of the service - many thanks!
I have to be honest and say that after another roofer poorly installed a flume in my 9 month old, very expensive single-ply flat roof which caused a horrendous leak I was distressed to say the least! George came out to see us on a weekend when all of the other roofers were too busy to even provide an estimate on weekdays! He re-sealed the flume and re-attached one bit of guttering for no extra charge! A really nice guy who gave us great customer service and a fair price for an emergency. I would certainly recommend Cambridge Roofers.
I had previously asked 3 different roofing companies to fix the leak on my roof, it has been going for 5 months now without permanent fixes, until I met George, with no surprise, the person that spent more time and seemed more prepared finally got the job done. Thank you George
