New Roofs In Southminster

Southminster sits in the middle of the Dengie peninsula, one of the flattest and most open parts of Essex. With farmland and marshes all around, roofs here take the full force of the wind. When a roof has been battered by storm after storm and keeps leaking, replacing it with secure, modern fixings makes sense, and the work is covered by our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.

Local Knowledge

Roofs we replace in Southminster

Most of our re-roofing work is on the post-war homes, bungalows and newer houses around the old centre, which mainly have concrete tiles. Their mortared ridges, hips and verges are often cracked or have been patched several times. Bungalows have a large roof area for their size, so a failing roof shows up quickly. We strip back to the rafters, replace any tired timbers, lay breathable underlay and new battens, and relay with clips on every tile where the exposure calls for it. Ridges, hips and verges are dry-fixed instead of relying on mortar. In the old centre, we re-roof cottages in matching clay tiles.

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

Wind and the conservation area

Southminster has a conservation area covering its historic centre, around St Leonard's Church. If your home is in it, or listed, changing materials or adding roof windows may need planning permission or listed building consent. Like-for-like re-roofing elsewhere usually doesn't. We check before quoting.

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.
