The roofs we see in Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds is three towns in one as far as a roof is concerned. There is the historic centre, where a lot of the properties are listed or sit inside the conservation area and the roof has to be repaired in the material it was built in. There is the Victorian and Edwardian belt around it, mostly clay pantile and slate with lead valleys that are now well past their working life. Then there is Moreton Hall and the newer estates, concrete interlocking tile on a felt underlay that is starting to tear at the eaves.
Most of the calls we get from Bury are one of three things. Slipped or cracked pantiles on a Victorian terrace where the nibs have gone. Failed lead work around a chimney or a valley on a period property. Or an estate house where the original bitumen felt has perished behind the fascia and the first sign of it is a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling.
What we are working on in Bury St Edmunds
Listed and conservation property in the centre, Victorian and Edwardian terraces around it, and interlocking concrete tile on the Moreton Hall estates.
Bury sits high enough to catch the wind that comes across the open Suffolk farmland, and it is exposed ridges and dry verges that go first.
What we get called out for in Bury St Edmunds
Slipped and cracked tiles after a windy week, chimney and valley leadwork on the older property, and first re-roofs on the estates where the original felt has torn back behind the fascia. We also get a steady run of roofline work in the Victorian streets, where the timber behind the boards has been wet for a long time.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Moss thick enough to hold water on a north facing slope
- Mortar missing from the ridge or the edge of the roof
- A flat roof that still has water sitting on it days after rain
- A ridge tile sitting visibly proud of the line next to it
- A damp patch upstairs that comes back every time it rains hard

Reviews
What customers say
The team repaired a leak in my roof, delivering a brilliant service from start to finish. Competitively priced and I would highly recommend!!
I’ve just had a re-roof done by Flash roofing, we initially had 3 quote and they were by far the most competitive while making us at ease with everything they offered! Really happy with the outcome and the job was left tidy - couldn’t recommend this team enough!
Great service from start to finish. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work to a high standard. The roof looks solid again, and everything was left tidy. Reliable, professional, and fairly priced, highly recommend.
FAQs
Roofing in Bury St Edmunds: your questions
How much do roofers in Bury St Edmunds charge?
It depends entirely on the job, and anybody who gives you a figure before seeing the roof is guessing. What we can tell you is that the survey and the written, itemised quote are free, and the quote separates out access, materials and labour so you can compare it properly against anyone else's.
How long will I wait for a survey in Bury St Edmunds?
Usually days rather than weeks. Bury is central to the area we cover, so it is normally one of the quicker ones to reach.
Can you provide photographs and a report for an insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph the damage before anything is touched, date it, and write up what caused it. That report is yours to use whoever ends up doing the repair.
Do you cover the villages around Bury St Edmunds?
Yes. We regularly work in Moreton Hall, Westley, Fornham All Saints, Great Barton, Rougham, Horringer, Ixworth and Thurston.
Will you tell me if I do not need the work doing?
Yes, and it happens often. Plenty of the roofs we are called to in Bury St Edmunds need a day's work rather than the re-roof somebody else has quoted for, and we would rather do the small job and be the people you ring next time.
