We're Hogdens Roofs, trading as Lowestoft Roofers, and we've been repairing, replacing and maintaining roofs across Lowestoft and the surrounding Suffolk coast for years. Our team knows the local housing stock well — from the older terraced properties around the town centre to the exposed bungalows and semis out towards Oulton Broad and Kessingland. When you call us, you speak to someone who actually works on the roofs, not a call handler reading from a script.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we only quote for work that genuinely needs doing. Suffolk's coastal weather is hard on roofing materials — salt air, driving rain and freeze-thaw cycles in winter all accelerate wear — and we're experienced enough to tell the difference between a roof that needs urgent attention and one that just needs a minor repair to see it through another few winters. We won't push you into a full re-roof when a few hours of repair work will do the job properly.
Every job starts with a proper roof survey, carried out in person, so we can give you an accurate quote rather than a rough figure over the phone. We work with tiles, slates, flat roofing systems, lead flashing, ridge and hip work, and guttering — covering the full picture rather than only the visible part of the problem. Before we leave any job, we check flashings, verges and any adjoining sections that could be a weak point, and we'll always show you photographs so you can see exactly what we found and what we did.
We stand behind our workmanship and back all completed roofing work with a written guarantee. Replacement roofs carried out by our team typically come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee, and the materials we use — whether that's fibre glass for flat roofs or quality concrete and natural slate for pitched work — come with manufacturer warranties on top of that. If anything we've done isn't right, call us and we'll come back and sort it, no argument.
Every job, from a tile repair to a full re-roof, is done to the same standard. That’s how we’ve built our reputation.
If we're running late, you hear from us.
No surprise extras halfway through.
Your garden and driveway as we found them.
10-year written guarantee, no quibble.
Free survey, written quote, no pressure. We'll come out and give you an honest assessment of what needs doing — and what can wait.
