Our Story
For over three decades, D.A Dancer Roofing Specialists has been protecting homes and businesses throughout Lowestoft and the surrounding Suffolk region. Founded by Duncan Dancer in the early 1990s, our company was built on simple principles: deliver exceptional craftsmanship, treat every customer with honesty and respect, and stand behind every job we complete.
What began as a one-man operation has grown into one of Lowestoft's most trusted roofing companies, yet we've never lost sight of those founding values. We remain a family-run business where the owner still works on site, personally overseeing projects and maintaining the quality standards that built our reputation.
Our Expertise
Three decades of roofing experience has given us comprehensive knowledge across every aspect of the trade. We've worked on Victorian terraces and modern new-builds, historic listed properties and contemporary commercial premises, tiny garden sheds and expansive industrial warehouses. This breadth of experience means we genuinely understand roofing in all its forms.
Our team brings together traditional craftsmanship skills with modern techniques and materials. We understand how Georgian builders constructed slate roofs and how contemporary EPDM systems perform in coastal environments. This combination of old and new knowledge ensures appropriate solutions for every property and situation.
Lowestoft's coastal location presents specific challenges for roofing systems. Salt-laden air, strong winds and driving rain test materials and installation quality constantly. Our local presence for over 30 years means we understand these conditions intimately, designing and installing systems that thrive in this demanding environment.
