New Roofs & Roof Replacement in Essex
Full re-roofs in concrete tile, clay tile and slate. Scaffold, skip and Building Regulations notification included in one fixed price.
When a roof needs replacing rather than repairing
A re-roof is a significant spend, so it is worth knowing when one is genuinely needed. If several of these apply, repairs are usually no longer economic.
- The same leak keeps coming back, or moves to a new spot
- Tiles are flaking, delaminating or shedding grit into the gutters
- The roof line sags or dips between the rafters
- The felt underneath has perished and you can see daylight
- Patch repairs are costing more every year
- The roof is over fifty years old and has never been touched

How a re-roof runs
STEP 01
Free roof survey
We come out, get up there, and look at the timbers as well as the tiles. Usually within a couple of days.
STEP 02
Fixed price in writing
Itemised, so you can see what is material and what is labour. No pressure and no time-limited discount nonsense.
STEP 03
Scaffold and strip
Scaffold goes up, the old roof comes off, and every timber gets checked before anything new goes on.
STEP 04
Rebuild
Membrane, battens, tiles, ridge and flashings. The roof is never left open overnight, it gets sheeted every evening.
STEP 05
Sign-off
We walk round it with you, clear the site, and hand over the guarantee.

What does a new roof cost in Essex?
Anyone who quotes you a re-roof over the phone has not seen your roof. The price comes down to the size and pitch, the covering you choose, the condition of the timbers underneath, how much scaffold access the property needs, and whether the chimney and flashings want doing at the same time.
A small bungalow and a three-storey townhouse are completely different jobs even at the same square meterage, because access is most of the labour.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a re-roof take?
A typical three-bed semi is three to five days, weather permitting. Bigger or more complex roofs take longer and we will tell you the expected run at quote stage.
Do I need planning permission?
For a like-for-like replacement, no. If you are changing the covering type or altering the roof shape, sometimes. We will tell you before anything starts.
Is scaffold included in the price?
Yes. Scaffold is in the quoted figure, not added afterwards.
What happens if it rains mid-job?
The roof is never left open overnight. It gets sheeted and made watertight every evening.
Do you take the old roof away?
Yes. Skip, disposal and a full clean-up are included.
Can you match my existing tiles?
Usually yes. If the tile is discontinued we will source the closest current equivalent and show you a sample before ordering.
