About the service
About Roofers in Peterborough
Run by Watts Marketing Ltd. Not a roofing contractor, and clear about it on every page.
Why this site exists
Roofing is one of the last big household purchases where most people have no idea what the right number looks like. You cannot see the roof, you cannot judge the work, and you probably only do this once or twice in your life. That combination is why roofing attracts both excellent long-standing family firms and a steady supply of people knocking on doors after a windy weekend.
We built this site for Peterborough specifically because the city's housing stock makes generic national advice close to useless. A New Town township house, a Victorian railway terrace and a stone cottage in a conservation area are three different jobs with three different prices, and national roofing sites treat them as one.
The rules we hold ourselves to
These are not marketing lines. They are constraints, and they cost us money in places.
- We never claim to be roofers. Every page says what this service is. We are an introduction service, not a contractor.
- No invented reviews. We publish no star rating we cannot point you at a source for. Where a firm has no verified reviews on this site, we say nothing rather than something flattering.
- Guide prices are honest, including when that is unhelpful. If a job usually costs less than people expect, we say so, even though our income comes from the firms quoting it.
- Coverage over volume. Two firms that actually work your street beats six that will drive an hour and price accordingly.
- Local facts are sourced. Everything we state about Peterborough's housing, conservation areas or materials comes from a published source, not from a copywriter's imagination.
Who runs it
Roofers in Peterborough is operated by Watts Marketing Ltd, a UK marketing business that works with home improvement companies, including roofing contractors.
That connection is the commercial relationship behind this site and we would rather state it plainly than bury it. It also means the firms we introduce you to are ones we deal with directly rather than names bought from a database.

No. It is a quote-comparison and introduction service operated by Watts Marketing Ltd. We do not carry out roofing work of any kind.
If you already have a roofer you trust, use them. This is for the people who do not.
What you get here is a shortlist that has been checked, and guide pricing so the first number you see is not the first number you have to judge.
