If you’re searching for a roofing company Northampton homeowners can call for proper repairs and tidy work, you’re in the right place. AJ Scutchings & Son handle roofing and guttering jobs across Northampton and the surrounding areas, and we’ve been doing it for over 35 years.
Most people get in touch because something’s gone wrong. A leak that’s started after heavy rain. A few tiles that have slipped. Gutters overflowing and staining the brickwork. It’s rarely “just cosmetic”, even if it looks small at first.
We’re based in Kempston (Bedfordshire), so our team are not far away, and we’re used to working on everything from modern homes to older properties that need a bit more care.
When you ring a roofer, you want straight answers. What’s causing the problem, what needs doing, and what it’s likely to cost.
That’s how we work. We’ll inspect the roof, explain what we’re seeing, and talk you through the options. If it’s a simple fix, we’ll say so. If it’s bigger than it looks, we’ll show you why, and what the sensible next step is.
We’re also fully insured and we take health and safety seriously on every job.
Roof repairs are the bread and butter. A lot of issues come down to a handful of common faults:
The important bit is this: we don’t just patch the obvious spot and leave. Leaks often travel before they show up inside, so we check the surrounding areas too. That’s usually how you stop the same issue coming back next winter.
If you’ve got a flat roof (extension, garage, porch, commercial section), we can help there as well. Different coverings need different fixes, and we’re used to working with common flat-roof systems like felt, EPDM and GRP.
Sometimes a repair is the right answer. Sometimes it’s just delaying the inevitable.
If your roof is beyond repair, or it’s had too many fixes over the years, a full roof replacement can be the more cost-effective option long term.
We’ll talk through things like:
If you’re a landlord or property manager, we can also help you plan work in stages, so you’re not caught out by emergency leaks at the worst time.
Leadwork is one of those jobs that separates “someone with a ladder” from a proper roofer.
Flashing around chimneys, abutments and valleys has to be fitted correctly, because lead expands and contracts with temperature. When it fails, water finds a way in quickly.
We carry out lead flashing installation and repairs in Northampton, and the service is carried out to British Standards.
If you’ve noticed staining around chimney breasts, damp patches upstairs, or flashing that looks loose or split, it’s worth getting it checked before it turns into internal damage.
Gutters get ignored until they overflow. Then you end up with damp, peeling paint, and water running where it shouldn’t.
We do gutter repairs and replacements in Northamptonshire, including downpipes and general roofline work like fascias and soffits. It’s not glamorous, but it makes a huge difference to how your property handles rainwater.
Aluminium is a solid option if you want something long-lasting and low maintenance. AJ Scutchings & Son install aluminium guttering systems and can help you choose a style that suits the building, including options designed to look similar to traditional cast iron.
For period homes and listed buildings, cast iron can be the right fit. It looks the part and it’s durable when installed and maintained properly. The cast iron systems we reference include products that meet British Standards specifications and have third-party accreditation.
Since the late 1980s, we’ve worked on a wide range of properties throughout Northampton, from terraced homes and semi-detached houses to larger period properties and commercial buildings. Our long-standing reputation is built on honest advice, clear communication, and high-quality finishes that stand the test of time.
As a local, family-run business, we understand the specific challenges that Northamptonshire homes face – from ageing roofing materials to the wear and tear caused by the unpredictable British weather. Being local also means we’re never far away when you need us most, offering a more personal, responsive service than national firms. Whether it’s routine maintenance or urgent repairs, we bring the experience, attention to detail, and local knowledge to get the job done right.
Here’s what usually happens:
We’ve been doing this for decades, so we’ve seen most problems before. And because we cover Northampton as part of the wider areas we work in, we’re set up to support both one-off repairs and ongoing maintenance.
