New Roofs In South Benfleet

Much of South Benfleet climbs the hill from Benfleet Creek towards Thundersley, lined with 1930s and post-war houses and bungalows. Many of those hipped concrete tile roofs are on their original underlay and battens. When repairs become a regular event rather than a one-off, a new roof is usually the better use of your money.

Local Knowledge

When a Benfleet roof is ready for replacement

Hipped roofs have more ridges and hips than simple gables, so on the hillside streets and around Tarpots we see a lot of cracked hip mortar, slipped tiles and sagging felt. Inside the loft, daylight through the underlay or damp patches on the battens tell us the roof has run its course. A new roof means stripping to the rafters, fitting breathable underlay and treated battens, then laying new tiles with dry-fixed hips and ridges. On older houses in the village by the creek, we can re-roof in clay tiles with traditional leadwork to keep the character intact.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01702 861098 or book online.

Planning and exposure in South Benfleet

The old centre is a conservation area with an Article 4 direction and a design code, so changing roof materials there may need permission. Listed homes need consent. We check this before quoting. Up the hill, wind off the estuary is the main factor, and every new roof comes with our 10-year guarantee.

Do I need planning permission for roof work?
