Acorn Property Improvements is a professional roofing company with two offices in Cambridgeshire — one in Cambridge city and one in St Neots — giving us genuine local coverage across the whole county without the travel times and inflated costs of contractors based outside the area. Our Cambridge office serves the city and all of South Cambridgeshire, East Cambridgeshire and the Fenland district. Our St Neots office covers Huntingdonshire and reaches into the western and northern parts of the county. Between them, our teams can reach any Cambridgeshire postcode without the travel times and associated costs that add to every quote from a contractor based outside the county.
We carry out the full range of domestic and commercial roofing work across every district of Cambridgeshire: 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. 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, confirmed in writing before work begins. Call our Cambridge office on 01223 859867 or our St Neots office on 01480 877624 for a free, no-obligation survey.

Most roofing companies serving Cambridgeshire operate from a single location and travel to wherever the work is. We operate differently — two offices positioned at opposite ends of the county’s primary population corridor, giving us genuinely local access across all six of Cambridgeshire’s districts.
Our Cambridge office is based in Arbury, Cambridge CB4 2JW — inside the city itself. From here our team covers every part of Cambridge city across all CB postcodes, and extends out through South Cambridgeshire — Great Shelford, Sawston, Royston, Melbourn, Cambourne and the A10 and A505 corridors — through East Cambridgeshire — Newmarket, Soham, Ely, Burwell, Bottisham and the fen-edge communities — and into Fenland, covering March, Wisbech, Chatteris and the surrounding fen towns. Call the Cambridge office on 01223 859867.
Our St Neots office is based in Little Paxton, St Neots PE19 6TS — Huntingdonshire's largest town and our registered business address. From here our team covers the whole of Huntingdonshire — Huntingdon, St Ives, Godmanchester, Ramsey, Buckden, Brampton and all surrounding districts — and reaches into western Cambridgeshire along the A428 and A14 corridors, serving Cambourne, Papworth Everard, Bar Hill, Longstanton, Willingham and the villages between St Neots and Cambridge. Call the St Neots office on 01480 877624.
There is no shortage of people advertising roofing services in Huntingdon. The question is who you can genuinely trust with your homeWe carry out the full range of domestic and commercial roofing services across Cambridgeshire — from emergency repairs to complete re-roofs and specialist work on period and Listed properties. Every service is available with a free on-site survey from either of our two local offices. Click through to each service page for full details.. Here is why homeowners and landlords across Huntingdonshire choose Acorn — and why they recommend us to their neighbours.
Roof repairs are our most frequent service call across Cambridgeshire — covering everything from single slipped tiles and failed lead flashings to ridge tile re-bedding, valley relining, flat roof patch repairs and emergency storm damage response. The county’s varied housing stock and exposed low-lying landscape means wind damage and freeze-thaw deterioration are recurring causes of roof failure across all districts. We diagnose the root cause, fix it properly, and document every repair with before-and-after photography. Every repair is backed by a written workmanship guarantee.
We cover all repair types across all Cambridgeshire postcodes — tile and slate replacement, lead flashing repair and replacement, ridge and hip re-bedding, valley relining, flat roof repairs in EPDM, GRP and felt, felt and membrane repair, storm damage response and moss removal. Available 24/7 for emergencies. Call 01223 859867 (Cambridge) or 01480 877624 (St Neots) for urgent repairs.
Call 01223 859867 (Cambridge) or 01480 877624 (St Neots) for any kind of roof repairs.
We carry out complete re-roofing projects across Cambridgeshire in all main materials — natural slate for the county’s Victorian, Edwardian and Listed properties and Conservation Area buildings; clay plain tiles for period cottages across the rural districts; concrete interlocking tiles for the large post-war housing stock from Cambridge to Peterborough; and fibre cement slate across a broad range of property types. Every survey includes a material recommendation based on the property type, planning status and budget. For listed and conservation properties across Cambridgeshire, we check planning requirements before quoting and never recommend a material change without confirming it is permissible.
Every Cambridgeshire 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 — strip, disposal, membrane, battens, tiles, lead work, ridge and guttering all clearly set out. Before-and-after photography on every installation.
Free Cambridgeshire roof survey — call 01223 859867 or 01480 877624. Written fixed-price quote, 10-year guarantee, 14-day cooling-off period.
Flat roofing is one of our most consistent service areas across Cambridgeshire — rear extension replacements on Cambridge terraces, garage roof replacements across post-war estates from St Neots to Ely, dormer roofs throughout the city and county, and the flat-roofed bungalow stock concentrated across Huntingdonshire and the Fenland towns. We install Firestone RubberCover EPDM — rated at 40 to 50 years with a 20-year product warranty — for most domestic applications; GRP fibreglass for dormers and complex shapes; and high-performance felt for budget-conscious straightforward projects. Falls and drainage are assessed at every survey and addressed in the specification.
We carry out both new flat roof installations and full replacements of failed existing systems across all of Cambridgeshire. All installations come with a full workmanship guarantee and a 14-day cooling-off period. We always give an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the right route — with photographic evidence to support the recommendation.

We supply and fit complete UPVC roofline systems across all of Cambridgeshire — guttering, downpipes, fascia boards, soffits, cladding and bargeboards in all standard profiles and colours. For the county’s large stock of Victorian and Edwardian properties, we supply cast-iron-effect UPVC ogee guttering in black — the appropriate replacement for original cast iron, planning-compliant in most Cambridgeshire Conservation Areas. For post-war and modern properties, standard half-round or square-line UPVC is the practical choice. Fascia boards are inspected at every survey — rotten boards are replaced before any new guttering is fitted. We also carry out standalone gutter clears and inspections, and supply gutter guard systems across the county.
Blocked and failing guttering is one of the most common causes of wall damp across Cambridgeshire’s older housing. We carry out guttering replacement, repair, gutter clearing and full roofline renovation across all CB and PE postcodes. All work is free-surveyed, fixed-price quoted and fully guaranteed.
Free Cambridgeshire guttering survey — call 01223 859867 or 01480 877624. We assess the full roofline, check fascia board condition and recommend the correct profile for your Cambridgeshire property.
Chimney repairs are a significant part of our work across Cambridgeshire, driven by the county’s large stock of pre-1950 properties with exposed chimney stacks. We carry out the full range of chimney repair work: repointing, lead flashing repair and replacement, flaunching renewal, pot and cowl replacement, partial and full stack rebuilds, stack removals and Stormguard waterproofing treatment. On pre-1920 properties — which form a very large proportion of Cambridge city’s housing stock and appear throughout the county’s market towns and villages — we use Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) mortar as standard for repointing. Portland cement on soft Victorian brick causes spalling and frost damage; NHL mortar integrates with the original fabric and lasts.
Cambridgeshire has an exceptional density of Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas — from Cambridge city centre and its surrounding villages to the historic market town cores of Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots, Ely and many smaller settlements across the county. We assess planning requirements at survey stage and advise on any consent needed before quoting. All chimney inspections are free, fully photographed and carry no obligation.
Cambridge has extensive Conservation Area designations covering the city centre, Newnham, Chesterton, De Freville, Cherry Hinton and many surrounding villages. Within these areas, and on all Listed Buildings, chimney repairs require appropriate material specification and any works that alter the appearance of the stack may require planning consent or Listed Building Consent. We advise on all relevant planning requirements during the survey and never proceed with any work that may require consent without first confirming the position. If in doubt, Cambridge City Council's planning department can confirm your property's designation status.
Free Cambridgeshire chimney inspection — call 01223 859867 or 01480 877624. We photograph every face of the stack and provide a written fixed-price quote with no obligation.
Bird proofing demand has grown significantly across Cambridgeshire as solar panel adoption has increased across the county’s housing stock. Pigeon nesting beneath solar panels is now one of our most common requests from homeowners across Cambridge, St Neots, Huntingdon and the surrounding areas. Our solar panel mesh system uses UV-stable, non-penetrating clips that attach to the panel frame without drilling — your manufacturer’s warranty is fully preserved and the system is completely removable for future maintenance. For ridge and chimney roosting on the county’s older properties, we install stainless steel spike strips and tensioned wire systems. Tensioned wire is our recommendation for Listed Buildings and Conservation Area properties where spike systems would be visually intrusive.
Every installation begins with a free site survey. Full nest and guano clearance is carried out before any system is fitted — using appropriate PPE, all waste removed from site, in full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. We carry out bird proofing for pigeons, starlings, seagulls and sparrows across all Cambridgeshire postcodes, for both domestic and commercial properties. All systems are UV-stable, weather-resistant and fully guaranteed.
Free Cambridgeshire bird proofing survey — call 01223 859867 or 01480 877624. We identify the species, entry points and appropriate system and quote in writing before any work starts.
There is no shortage of roofing companies advertising across Cambridgeshire. The question is who genuinely covers the county, who has the right expertise for the specific property type, and who will be accountable when the job is done. Here is what sets Acorn apart.
Cambridge and St Neots — opposite ends of Cambridgeshire's main population corridor. We are not travelling from outside the county to your job. We are based in it, we work in it every day, and we know it.
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.
Cambridgeshire has more Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas per square mile than almost any other county in England. We use NHL lime mortar on pre-1920 properties, advise on planning requirements before quoting, and have experience working across the county's many protected properties and historic streetscapes.
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.
Acorn Property Improvements is one of Cambridge’s most trusted local roofing companies — built on personal recommendations, repeat business, and 67 verified Google reviews from homeowners and businesses across the city and county. We are a professional roofing company with a Cambridge office, a St Neots office, and a directly employed team that works in Cambridge streets every week. Whether your property is a Victorian terrace in Romsey, a Listed building in the city centre, a modern new-build in Cambourne or a rural farmhouse in the Fens, we have the experience, the materials knowledge and the local presence to look after it properly.
