New Roofs In South Woodham Ferrers

South Woodham Ferrers is a planned town, mostly built from the 1970s onwards, so a great many of its roofs are now due their first major round of maintenance. For some homes, that means a few repairs. For others, where tiles, underlay and battens are all tired at once, a full re-roof is the better answer, and it comes with our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.

Local Knowledge

Re-roofing the town's 1970s homes

Homes here were built in an Essex vernacular style, with steep pitched roofs covered in concrete or clay-look tiles. On a roof of that age, we typically find ridge and verge mortar breaking down, slipped tiles and original underlay that has become brittle or torn near the eaves. A re-roof means stripping the tiles, checking the rafters, fitting breathable underlay and new battens, and laying new tiles chosen to suit the street. We dry-fix the ridges and verges so they no longer depend on mortar. Steep pitches mean careful scaffolding and edge protection, which we include in the written quote.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01245 520306 or book online.

Planning and river wind

For most homes in South Woodham Ferrers, like-for-like re-roofing doesn't need planning permission, though we check before quoting. Houses on the edges of town near the River Crouch and the marshes catch more wind, so we pay extra attention to fixings there.

Do I need planning permission for roof work?
