New Roofs In Manningtree

Manningtree packs a lot of roofing history into a small space. Within a short walk you'll find old clay tile and slate roofs on the High Street and South Street, and concrete-tiled homes from after the war out towards Lawford and Mistley. A new roof here has to suit the building it sits on, not just keep the rain out.

Local Knowledge

Which Manningtree roofs need replacing

In the older streets and along the waterfront, a new roof usually means a cottage or town house where the tiles or slates are slipping faster than they can be refixed, often with tired battens and no proper underlay beneath. Out in Lawford and the newer parts of Mistley, we're more often replacing concrete tile roofs where the underlay has perished and the ridges have loosened. Either way, the job follows the same pattern: strip to the rafters, repair any timber, fit breathable underlay and new battens, then lay tiles or slates with ridges and verges fixed securely. On older homes we save and reuse what we can, topping up with matching reclaimed material.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Consent and the conservation area

Manningtree and Mistley share a conservation area, one of 20 in Tendring, and it includes many listed buildings. If your home falls inside it, changing roof materials may need planning permission, and listed homes need consent. We check before quoting. Every new roof carries our 10-year guarantee.

Do I need planning permission for roof work?

Most like-for-like roof repairs and re-roofs in England do not need planning permission. Changing how the roof looks, adding dormers or living in a conservation area can change that.
