Kettering sits 15 miles north of Northampton, slightly elevated and more exposed to north-easterly winds sweeping down from the uplands. The town has a well-defined sequence of housing eras: tight Victorian terraces near the Rockingham Road corridor, 1930s semis filling the interwar suburbs, and substantial 1970s–80s estates in Headlands and Ise Lodge. Each generation brings its own roofing challenges.
Freeze-thaw damage is more severe in Kettering than in Northampton — the slightly elevated position and north-easterly exposure mean harder frosts and more repetitive freeze cycles that attack mortar beds, pointing and flashings. Nail sickness on Headlands and Ise Lodge concrete tiles matches what we see in Northampton's estates. Wind-lifted ridge and hip tiles are a regular call after any significant north-easterly event.

Get a quote →"Had loose tiles every winter for three years. Finally got them properly diagnosed — nail sickness across the whole rear slope. Northampton Roofing replaced the section, re-felted and re-battened. Not had a problem since."
"Victorian chimney with failed lead flashing and crumbling mortar. Both sorted in a single visit. Price was fair and the work is neat."
"Six ridge tiles down after the February storms. Sorted within 48 hours. Checked the whole ridge while up there and pointed out two more that were loose — glad they flagged it."

Yes. Kettering is 15 miles north and within our regular service area. We cover all of Kettering including Headlands, Ise Lodge, Barton Seagrave, Rockingham Road and surrounding villages.
Kettering sits slightly higher and is more exposed to north-easterly winds than Northampton or Wellingborough. This means harder frosts and more freeze-thaw cycles per winter — mortar beds, pointing and lead flashings crack open faster. We account for this when specifying repair materials.

Across Kettering the calls cluster around a few recurring issues. Slipped and cracked tiles after a windy spell are the most frequent, followed by leaks traced to failed chimney flashing or a blocked, overflowing gutter soaking the wall below. On older stock we see nail sickness — sound tiles slipping because the fixings have rusted — and worn lead in valleys and around chimneys. On flat roofs over extensions and garages, splits and ponding in ageing felt are common. Most of these are straightforward repairs caught early; left alone, they become the damp and structural problems that cost far more to put right.
Victorian brick-and-slate terraces around the centre need rear scaffold; the Ise Valley estates are more accessible. Period and conservation properties need sympathetic materials and careful access; post-war and modern estate homes are usually more straightforward, with concrete tiles that reach the end of their life together, making a planned re-roof more economical than piecemeal repairs. We tailor the approach to your property’s age and construction rather than applying a one-size method, and we will always tell you honestly whether a repair, a strip-and-relay, or a full replacement is the right call.
Do you charge for a quote? No — surveys and quotes across Kettering are free, with no call-out fee and no obligation.
How quickly can you come out? Same-day for genuine emergencies across NN15, NN16; booked repairs usually within days.
Are you insured and guaranteed? Fully insured, with a written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job, transferable if you sell.
Will you try to sell me a whole new roof? Never. We fix what needs fixing and tell you plainly when a repair will do — honest advice is how we earn the next Kettering recommendation.
No call-out fees. No obligation. A local Northampton roofer who turns up when they say they will.

We are a local roofing firm covering all of Kettering and the surrounding NN15, NN16 postcodes, from a single slipped tile to a full re-roof. Whatever the job, you get the same local team, a written itemised quote, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Victorian brick-and-slate terraces around the centre need rear scaffold; the Ise Valley estates are more accessible. Open countryside around Kettering leaves roofs exposed to prevailing south-westerlies. Knowing the local stock and exposure is what lets us diagnose accurately rather than guess — and price against your actual property rather than a national average.
Every Kettering job runs the same way: a free survey (from the ground and inside the loft), a written itemised quote separating scaffold, materials, labour and VAT, a booked start date with any weather risk flagged, tidy work with all waste removed, and a written guarantee at sign-off. There is no call-out fee for the survey, no deposit on repairs under £500, and nothing paid up front before materials are on site — the anti-rogue-trader basics that protect you.
Most repairs run from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is quoted only where a job needs safe standing time, always itemised and arranged by us. Where pavement scaffold or a skip is needed on Kettering's tighter streets, such as Montagu Street, Rockingham Road, we sort the permit through North Northamptonshire Council before we start, so there are no hold-ups on the day.
As a local guide: minor repairs from around £150; chimney and lead work typically £200–£900; guttering from £80 to clear or £800–£2,000 to replace; and a full re-roof on a typical Kettering semi in the region of £6,500–£10,500 including scaffold and guarantee. Every quote is itemised and fixed in writing, and we are happy for you to compare it against others — a proper roofer expects it.
A guarantee is only as good as the firm behind it. We are based here, we rely on our Kettering reputation, and if a covered fault ever appears we come back and put it right without quibble. That accountability — local, named, and not going anywhere — is worth more than any doorstep promise, which is why we never cold-call: our work comes from Kettering homeowners who found us and chose us.
