Tiled Roofs In South Woodham Ferrers

Steep pitched roofs covered with concrete or clay-look tiles are a signature of South Woodham Ferrers, part of the Essex vernacular style the town was planned in from the 1970s onwards. These roofs are now reaching the point where tiles, battens and underlay need proper attention, so knowing how they were built helps us fix them well.

Local Knowledge

Tile work across South Woodham Ferrers

Common jobs include replacing slipped tiles, re-bedding or dry-fixing ridges and verges where mortar has crumbled, and dealing with original underlay that has torn or sagged. Steep pitches mean tiles rely heavily on their nails and battens, so when battens rot, tiles slide. For repairs, we match tiles closely, which can take some searching for older clay-look profiles. If the roof needs replacing, we strip it, fit breathable underlay and new battens, and relay with new tiles, dry-fixing ridges and verges. Concrete interlocking tiles, clay plain tiles and pantiles all have their place, and we'll advise what suits your roof. A tiled re-roof is a new roof, so our 10-year guarantee on new roofs applies.

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

Permission and exposure

For most homes in South Woodham Ferrers, like-for-like tile replacement doesn't need planning permission, though we check before quoting. On the edges of town by the River Crouch, we use extra clips because wind off the water hits those roofs harder.
