About Ely Roofers

Ely Roofers has been working on rooftops across Ely and the surrounding Cambridgeshire fenlands for well over a decade. We know this area — the exposed, wind-driven weather off the fens, the mix of Victorian terraces in the city centre and the newer builds out towards Witchford and Soham, and what each type of roof genuinely needs.

Our story

Built on roofs that didn’t leak twice.

What sets us apart is straightforward: we only take on work we can do properly. We do not subcontract to unknown gangs or cut corners on materials to protect a margin. Every job is priced honestly, explained clearly, and carried out by the same experienced team you spoke to when you called. We use materials from established suppliers — Marley, Redland, and IKO among them — because cheap substitutes cause the exact problems our customers ring us to fix.

Every job starts with a proper inspection, not a glance from the pavement. We check the roof structure, flashings, guttering, and any existing repairs before we quote, so there are no surprises once work begins. We explain what we have found, show you photographs where it is helpful, and give you a written quote before a single tile is moved. We aim to start scheduled jobs within two weeks and will always prioritise genuine emergencies — storm damage or an active leak — within 24 hours.

All our roofing work comes with a minimum ten-year workmanship guarantee, backed by our public liability insurance. New pitched roof installations using Marley or Redland systems also carry the manufacturer's product warranty on top of that. We are registered with the Competent Roofer scheme, so our work is self-certified to Building Regulations where required — no extra council fees for you. We want customers in Ely to call us back for their next job, not to complain about the last one.

Testimonials

What our customers say.

"Ely Roofers replaced around 14 broken concrete interlocking tiles on our 1970s semi after the February storms. They came out to inspect within two days of me calling and had the work finished the same afternoon. No mess left behind and the invoice matched the quote exactly."

"We had a persistent leak above the back bedroom of our Victorian terrace and two other local firms had failed to trace it properly. Ely Roofers identified a failed lead flashing where the chimney stack meets the main roof slope and re-dressed it in a couple of hours. That was eight months ago and there's been no sign of damp since."

"They stripped and re-felted the flat roof on our garage extension, which is roughly 18 square metres, and fitted a new GRP fibreglass surface. The team explained that GRP flat roofs in this area typically last 25 years or more with no maintenance beyond an occasional inspection. Work took one full day and they left the site tidy."
