Looking for a trusted roofer in Peterborough? Swift Roofing Ltd is a Checkatrade-approved roofing contractor covering the whole city and the surrounding villages. We handle roof repairs, full re-roofs, flat roofing, chimney work and guttering, all backed by written guarantees and £1,000,000 of public liability insurance.
Peterborough is one of the fastest-growing cities in the East of England, and the housing stock shows it. We work on everything from the medieval streets of the Cathedral Quarter and the Victorian terraces of Millfield, New England and Park Ward, through to the post-war estates of Dogsthorpe and Paston, the 1970s housing in Bretton and Orton, and the brand-new builds in Hampton, Stanground South and Cardea. Each of those property types comes with its own roofing quirks, and a roofer who knows the area saves you time and money.
Peterborough Roof Repairs
Roof repairs are the most common reason Peterborough homeowners call us. Slipped concrete tiles after an easterly storm, perished lead flashing around a chimney stack, lifted ridge tiles on an exposed end-terrace, or water running down the inside of a bay window, we diagnose the fault properly and fix it once. Our vans carry stock of the most common Marley Modern, Redland 49 and Sandtoft Calderdale tiles used across PE1 to PE9, so most repair callouts are completed on the first visit with no waiting around for parts.
New Roofs & Roof Replacement in Peterborough
Plenty of Peterborough's 1960s and 1970s estates, places like Bretton, Orton Longueville, Paston and Werrington, are now hitting the age where the original sarking felt has perished even though the tiles still look fine from the pavement. A full strip and re-roof restores the property, upgrades insulation values to current standards, and ends the cycle of patching repairs. Every new roof we fit in Peterborough includes a structural timber check, fresh breathable membrane, new battens, dry ridge and verge systems, and a written workmanship guarantee.
Flat Roofing Peterborough
Flat roofs on garages, dormers and rear extensions across the city take a hammering from the wet Fenland winters and the hot Cambridgeshire summers. We install and repair GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and high-performance felt systems. If your existing flat roof is ponding, blistering or letting water in, we will give you an honest call on whether a targeted repair or a full overlay is the right next step for the budget.
Commercial Roofing in Peterborough
We work with commercial property owners, landlords and letting agents across Peterborough, from shop roofs in the city centre and Queensgate area to industrial units around Eastern Industry, Fengate and the Lynch Wood business park. We schedule the work around your trading and tenant hours to keep disruption to a minimum, and we provide planned maintenance contracts to protect the asset long-term.
Chimneys, Lead Flashing & Guttering
Older Peterborough properties around the Cathedral, Park Road and Thorpe Road often have substantial chimney stacks that need attention, crumbling mortar joints, slipped flaunching, damaged pots, or lead flashing pulled away from the brickwork. We carry out repointing, full stack rebuilds, lead valleys and traditional lead bay roofs. We also clear and replace guttering across the city, fit fascia and soffit boards, and sort the kind of overflowing downpipes that wreck a render or cause damp in a back bedroom.
