Where are you based and how far do you travel?

We're based in Stock, West Hanningfield, roughly in the middle of Essex, which means we can reach most of the county without a long drive. We regularly work in Chelmsford, Billericay, Brentwood, Basildon, Wickford, Ingatestone, Rayleigh, Maldon, Witham, Shenfield, and South Woodham Ferrers. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just give us a ring.

How much does a roof repair cost in Essex?

It depends entirely on what needs doing. A few slipped tiles or a small flashing repair is a very different job to fixing storm damage across a whole roof. We'll come out, have a proper look, and give you a written quote with no obligation. We don't charge for quotes.

Do you do flat roofs?

Yes, flat roofs on extensions and outbuildings are a big part of what we do. We install and repair EPDM rubber roofing, GRP fibreglass, and torch-on felt systems. We'll tell you honestly which system suits your roof and your budget, and how long you can expect it to last.

Are you insured and do you offer any guarantees?

We're fully insured. On new installations and larger jobs we provide a written guarantee on the work, the length depends on the job type and materials used. We'll cover this clearly in your quote so there are no surprises.

I've spotted a leak. How quickly can you come out?

We try to get to urgent jobs as quickly as possible. For an active leak causing damage, ring us directly on 07891 119072, we'll do our best to get out to you quickly or arrange a temporary repair to protect the property while we schedule the full fix.

A roof specification shaped around your Chelmsford property

We do not assume every leak needs the same remedy. Roof age, pitch, covering, ventilation, previous repairs and the route rainwater takes all affect whether a repair, section renewal or re-roof makes sense.

Older central rooflines

Slate, chimney flashings and valleys need compatible materials and careful detailing.

Modern tiled estates

Broken tiles, verge details and ventilation can often be dealt with through focused work.

Extensions and conversions

Dormers and flat-to-pitched junctions deserve close inspection when damp appears after driving rain.
