About Arkenstone Construction
A family-run firm built on one idea: homeowners deserve a roofer they never have to worry about.
Meet the owner
Charles Stevens
Owner and founder, Arkenstone Construction · 25+ years in roofing and construction
Charles started Arkenstone because he was tired of seeing homeowners ripped off by rogue roofers. He lives in Peterborough, surveys and prices every roof himself, and calls every enquiry back the same day. Fixed written quotes, tidy sites and a written guarantee on every job.
The Charles Stevens story
“I was tired of seeing people get ripped off by rogue roofers.” That is the sentence Charles Stevens built Arkenstone Construction on. After 25+ years in roofing and construction, he had seen every trick in the cowboy playbook: invented faults, pressure selling, vanishing deposits and guarantees not worth the paper they were printed on.
Arkenstone is the opposite of all of it. Charles lives in Peterborough and personally quotes every job. The price is fixed and in writing. The team leaves the site clean every night. The work carries a written guarantee, 20 years on roofing, 5 years on driveways and patios. And on every full roof replacement, an independent building inspector checks the finished work, something fewer than 1% of roofing firms will submit to.
Over 1,000 projects later, the reviews tell the story: 4.9/5 on Trustatrader (75 reviews) and 9.6/10 on Checkatrade (43 reviews). The most common words customers use? Honest. Trustworthy. Tidy. No upselling.

What customers say
“Charles and his team replaced my roof and repaired the chimneys. He was very helpful and informative about the options available. Since completion there has been heavy prolonged rain and there have been no problems.”
“Charles was quick to come and have a look at our roof leak issue. He talked through different options, being sensitive to different budgets. Most importantly, I felt Charles to be trustworthy as there was no upselling whatsoever and he was happy to talk about the technical implications of different jobs.”
“Mr Stevens came to quote on the repairs required to my roof. He was very open and honest about the amount of work that would be required and what he recommended as the best way to complete the work to a high standard. The repairs were done to the high standard as quoted.”
