Roofers in Ilkeston
Ilkeston sits in the Erewash valley between Derby and Nottingham — a former mining and lace town with the housing to match. Rows of Victorian terraces near the centre, inter-war and post-war semis out through Cotmanhay and Kirk Hallam, and newer estates on the edges, much of it on hilly ground.
The usual jobs here are ageing tile roofs that have started slipping or letting damp in, plus flat-roof and guttering work. We re-roof with a breathable membrane and dry-fix ridge and verge for a low-maintenance finish, and repair what's still sound — with an honest, written quote inside 48 hours.

Questions we get from Ilkeston customers
How much does a roof cost?
Depends entirely on size, materials and access. Indicative ranges: a flat-roof garage from £1,500, a full re-roof on a semi from £6,000–£14,000, a conservatory roof replacement from £5,760. We come out for a free survey, take measurements and photos, then send a fixed written quote within 48 hours. No obligation.
How quickly can you start?
Survey within a few days of you ringing. Quote in writing within 48 hours of the survey. Lead times vary through the year, so rather than quote a fixed number here we give you the current estimated start window in writing with your quotation. Emergency leaks: same-day or next-day call-outs in Mansfield and nearby.
Are you insured? What about guarantees?
Yes — £5m public liability and £10m employers' liability. Full roof replacements carry a 10-year workmanship guarantee with insurance backing. Guarantees for other installations and repair warranties are stated in your written quotation. Manufacturer warranties apply under their own terms. Guarantee and certification documents are supplied once issued; third-party paperwork may follow completion. On re-roofs your deposit is protected through our IWA (Independent Warranty Association) membership.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes — a materials deposit (30%, unless your quotation states otherwise) once you've seen and signed the written quote, never before. On re-roofs it's also protected through our IWA (Independent Warranty Association) membership — independent deposit protection, so if anything happened to us before the job started, you'd get it back. Balance is due on completion.
