Peterborough is home turf. Arkenstone is based here, Charles Stevens lives and works here, and the team covers a 50-mile radius taking in the whole of Cambridgeshire plus the neighbouring corners of Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire.

That patch covers an enormous range of housing, Fenland terraces in Wisbech and March, conservation-area slate in Cambridge and Stamford, carrstone cottages in Downham Market and thousands of modern estate homes across Hampton, Cardea and the townships. We re-roof, repair and re-surface all of it, with the same fixed quotes everywhere and a written guarantee on every job, 20 years on roofing, 5 years on driveways and patios.

Need us fast? Being local means leaks and storm damage in the Peterborough area are surveyed within a day or two.

Two of our longest-standing patches sit out east of the city: our roofers in Wisbech have covered the town since Arkenstone's Upwell days, and our Downham Market roofers are just up the A1101, both close enough for fast surveys and quick starts.

Driveway surfacing in Peterborough

Peterborough has no shortage of front drives that went down with the house and have not been touched since: concrete cracked across the middle, tarmac sunk at the edges, block paving lifted and rocking. Our crews lay tarmac driveways, block paving and resin bound stone, so one survey prices every surface side by side. Resin is the surface Peterborough homeowners ask us about most, and our resin bound driveways in Peterborough page has the local detail.

Plan with the 2026 UK guide prices before we visit. A new tarmac drive with a full dig-out runs £80 to £110 per m², and resin bound over a sound existing base runs £60 to £85 per m², as set out in our tarmac driveway cost and resin driveway cost guides. Your own figure is fixed in writing within 48 hours of the free survey and holds for 30 days.

Asphalt and commercial surfacing contractors in Peterborough

Surfacing work does not stop at the front garden. The crews who lay home drives also lay asphalt paths, parking areas and access roads, plus commercial and agricultural surfacing, and they surfaced the parking areas at a King's Lynn golf course. Tarmac is quick to lay, takes heavy traffic and copes with gradients, which makes it the practical choice for long runs, yards and car parks. Our crews excavate to a firm formation, compact the sub-base, then machine-lay the base course and wearing course where access allows, rolling each layer before the next goes on. Edges are finished against new or existing kerbs so they hold under tyres. If you run a business, a farm or a shared access road around Peterborough, Charles prices the work himself and calls you back the same day you enquire.

Townships, estates and villages across Peterborough

Peterborough grew in stages, and its housing shows it. The 1970s estates in the townships, the newer closes of Hampton and Cardea and the older brick semis on the roads between them all wear differently, on the roof and on the drive. We work in every part of the city, from Werrington, Bretton, Orton and Stanground to Parnwell and Hampton, and out to the villages around it, including Eye and Thorney. Further out, the same team covers Whittlesey, March and Wisbech across the Fens and Stamford to the north west. The deal does not change with the postcode: a free survey with photographs, a fixed written quote, our own crews doing the work and no upselling. Pick your area for local detail.

Recent Peterborough jobs

In April 2025 our team took the old roof off a Peterborough home, put a new one on and fitted solar panels, all in a single day, with the customer and his daughter at home throughout. Doing both together meant one set of scaffolding and one visit. Between 2023 and July 2026 we also re-roofed homes across the city in Crest Double Pantiles, Crest Platinum and flat concrete tiles, with 3-in-1 eaves protection, dry ridge, dry verge and dry gable caps, and fitted a dry valley system with every tile mechanically fixed. Building Control checked each full re-roof independently, and every one carries our 20-year written guarantee. See the one-day re-roof and solar job and the Peterborough re-roofs case studies, and if it is a roof you need, our roofers in Peterborough page has the full roofing service.
