- Cambridgeshire's Most Trusted Roofing & Roof Repair Experts
Complete Roofing Services for Homes & Businesses Across Huntingdonshire — From St Neots to Ramsey, From Huntingdon to Kimbolton. 10-Year Guarantee. Free Surveys.
Acorn Property Improvements is a professional roofing company with its registered office in Little Paxton, St Neots — at the heart of Huntingdonshire. We carry out the full range of domestic and commercial roofing work across the district: roof repairs of all types, new roof installations and complete re-roofing, flat roof installation and replacement, guttering and roofline work, chimney repairs and repointing, and bird proofing including solar panel mesh systems. Each part of Huntingdonshire brings its own roofing challenges: period properties in the market town centres require lime mortar and matched materials; 1960s–1990s housing stock across the estates presents concrete tile replacements and flat roof failures; rural village properties carry the full range of pitched roof types and frequently require emergency repair response after wind and storm events across the exposed landscape.
Every job is carried out by our own directly employed roofers — never subcontractors — and every new roof comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee and a 14-day cooling-off period, both confirmed in writing before work begins. We also operate a Cambridge office, extending our reach across the full county of Cambridgeshire. Call our St Neots office on 01480 877624 for a free, no-obligation survey anywhere in Huntingdonshire.
Whether it’s a repair, a replacement, or a brand new roof, call Acorn Property Improvements today on 01480 877624 or request a free online quote. Our friendly team will be happy to arrange a no-obligation survey and talk you through your options.
We carry out the full range of domestic and commercial roofing services across Huntingdonshire — from emergency repairs to complete re-roofs and specialist work on the district’s many period and Listed properties. Every service is available with a free on-site survey from our St Neots office. Click through to each service page for full details and specifications.
Roof repairs are our most frequent service call across Huntingdonshire. The district’s varied housing stock and exposed low-lying landscape — particularly the open fen edges north of Ramsey and the Great Ouse valley between Huntingdon and St Ives — makes wind-driven tile displacement and storm damage a recurring cause of repair calls across all seasons. We cover every repair type across the district: slipped and cracked tiles, failed lead flashings on period chimneys and dormers, ridge and hip tile re-bedding, valley relining, flat roof patch repairs on the extensions and garages common across all of Huntingdonshire’s post-war estates, and emergency storm response. Every repair is diagnosed properly, fixed at root cause, documented with before-and-after photography and backed by a written guarantee.
We are available 24/7 for emergency roof repairs across all of Huntingdonshire. Being based in St Neots means our team can reach any part of the district — from Kimbolton in the west to Somersham in the east, from Stilton in the north to the Cambridgeshire border in the south — without the extended response times of contractors based further away. Call 01480 877624 directly for urgent repairs.
Call 01480 877624 for a free roof repair inspection across Huntingdonshire — same-working-day response to all enquiries.
We carry out complete re-roofing projects across Huntingdonshire in all main materials. Concrete interlocking tiles are the most common replacement specification across the district’s large post-war and 1970s–1990s housing stock — from the estates surrounding Huntingdon, St Neots and St Ives to the expanding settlements along the A1 and A14 corridors. For the district’s Georgian and Victorian market town properties and rural village stock, natural slate and clay plain tiles are the appropriate materials, and in many cases the only planning-compliant option where Conservation Area designations or Listed Building status applies. Fibre cement slate covers a broad range of in-between property types. We advise on the correct material at survey stage and check all planning requirements before quoting.
Every Huntingdonshire re-roof comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee and a 14-day cooling-off period, both confirmed in writing before work begins. Fixed-price, fully itemised quotations — every element clearly set out with no provisional sums. Before-and-after photography on every installation as a permanent record of the work carried out.

Flat roofing is a consistent part of our work across Huntingdonshire — on extensions and garages throughout the district’s towns and villages, on the flat-roofed bungalows that form a significant proportion of the 1960s and 1970s housing stock across the district, and on outbuildings and agricultural buildings across the rural areas. Many original flat roofs across Huntingdonshire were laid in traditional felt and are well past serviceable life. We install Firestone RubberCover EPDM for most domestic applications, GRP fibreglass for dormers and complex upstand configurations, and high-performance felt for budget-conscious straightforward projects. Falls and drainage are checked at every survey — inadequate falls are the primary cause of premature flat roof failure and are addressed in the installation specification.
We carry out both new flat roof installations and full replacements of failed existing systems across all of Huntingdonshire. All installations come with a full workmanship guarantee and a 14-day cooling-off period. We give an honest, evidence-based assessment of whether repair or replacement is appropriate — with photographs to support the recommendation.
Free flat roof survey in St Neots — call 01480 877624. We assess the deck, falls and drainage and recommend the most appropriate system for your property.
We supply and fit complete UPVC roofline systems across all of Huntingdonshire — guttering, downpipes, fascia boards, soffits, cladding and bargeboards in all standard profiles and colours. For the district’s Georgian and Victorian market town properties and the period cottages scattered across Huntingdonshire’s villages, cast-iron-effect UPVC ogee guttering in black is the appropriate replacement for the original cast iron — authentic in appearance, maintenance-free, and planning-compliant in most Conservation Area designations across the district. For the large post-war and modern housing stock across St Neots, Huntingdon, St Ives and the surrounding estates, standard half-round or square-line UPVC is the practical choice. Fascia boards are inspected at survey and replaced before new guttering is fitted where rotten — we never fit brackets into timber that cannot hold them.
We also carry out standalone gutter clears, inspections and gutter guard installations across Huntingdonshire. Blocked guttering causes wall saturation and damp — a problem we see regularly on properties where gutters have not been maintained. All work is free-surveyed, fixed-price quoted and fully guaranteed.
Free guttering survey across Huntingdonshire— call 01480 877624. We assess the full roofline, check fascia board condition and recommend the correct profile for your Huntingdonshire property.
Chimney repairs are a regular part of our work across Huntingdonshire, driven by the district’s large stock of pre-1950 properties with exposed chimney stacks — from the Georgian terraces of Huntingdon High Street and St Ives Bridge Street to the Victorian cottages that fill the district’s villages and the farmhouses and rural properties across the wider countryside. We carry out the full range of chimney repair work: repointing, lead flashing repair and replacement, flaunching renewal, chimney pot and cowl replacement, partial and full stack rebuilds, stack removals and Stormguard waterproofing treatment. On pre-1920 Huntingdonshire properties we use Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) mortar for repointing as standard — Portland cement is too rigid for the original soft brickwork and causes the spalling and frost damage we regularly encounter on chimneys that have been poorly repointed previously.
Huntingdonshire has a high density of Listed Buildings and Conservation Area designations across its market town cores and historic villages. We assess planning requirements at survey stage and advise on any consent needed before issuing a quotation. All chimney inspections are free, fully photographed across all four faces of the stack, and carry no obligation to proceed.
Free Huntingdonshire chimney inspection — call 01480 877624. We photograph every face of the stack and provide a written fixed-price quote with no obligation.
Bird proofing has grown into a consistent service request across Huntingdonshire as solar panel installations have increased across the district’s residential and agricultural properties. Pigeon nesting beneath solar panels is our most common bird proofing call in the area — blocking drainage, corroding panel frames and wiring, and reducing system output. Our mesh system uses UV-stable, non-penetrating clips that fix to the panel frame without drilling, preserving the manufacturer’s warranty in full and remaining completely removable for future maintenance. For ridge and chimney roosting on the district’s many period properties, we install stainless steel spike strips; for Listed and Conservation Area buildings where spikes would be visually intrusive, tensioned wire systems provide an equally effective and near-invisible alternative.
Every bird proofing job begins with a free site survey. Full nest and guano clearance is carried out before any system is installed — using appropriate PPE, all waste removed from site, in full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. We cover pigeon, starling, seagull and sparrow proofing for both domestic and commercial properties across all of Huntingdonshire. All installations are UV-stable, weather-resistant and fully guaranteed.
Free St Neots bird proofing survey — call 01480 877624. We identify the species, entry points and appropriate system and quote in writing before any work starts.
Huntingdonshire has plenty of roofing companies advertising online. What matters is who is actually local, who has the experience for the specific property types in the district, and who will be accountable after the job is done. Here is what makes Acorn the right choice across Huntingdonshire.
Our registered office is in Little Paxton, St Neots — inside the district. Our team works across Huntingdonshire every day and knows the local property stock, the local weather conditions and the planning context. When you call for an emergency, we respond from within the district.
We visit your property, inspect the roof with photographs and give you a written, itemised, fixed-price quotation. If a repair will do the job, we will say so. If it is genuinely time for a replacement, we will explain why with evidence. We do not use high-pressure sales tactics and we do not quote work that is not needed. What we find is what we tell you.
New roofs, repairs, flat roofing, guttering, chimney work, bird proofing, Velux windows — all carried out by the same directly employed team. No need to find and manage multiple contractors for a project that involves, say, a re-roof, new guttering and a chimney repoint. One call to Acorn covers the full scope.
Every roofer on your job is a direct Acorn employee, backed by full public liability insurance. We never subcontract. That means consistent quality, clear accountability and a team that stands behind what it does.
Every new roof installation includes a 10-year workmanship guarantee and a 14-day cooling-off period — both confirmed in writing before any work begins. All repair and maintenance work carries a full workmanship guarantee. If something is not right, we return and fix it at no charge.
Huntingdonshire's market town centres and historic villages are rich with Listed Buildings and Conservation Area properties. We use NHL lime mortar on pre-1920 properties, source matching materials for period roofing work, and advise on planning requirements before quoting — never after work has started.
We respect your property as if it were our own. We cause as little disruption as possible and always leave everything clean and tidy when the job is done.
