New Roofs In Tiptree

Tiptree has grown steadily since the war, so a lot of its houses and bungalows carry concrete tile roofs laid in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. When the battens go soft, the old felt underlay sags into the loft and tiles keep slipping after every gale, patching stops making sense and a full re-roof becomes the sensible step.

Local Knowledge

Re-roofing post-war Tiptree homes

Most of the new roofs we quote for in Tiptree are on bungalows and two-storey houses from the post-war years, spread across CO5 and out towards Tiptree Heath. The warning signs tend to repeat: daylight through the loft, a crumbling ridge, and verge tiles that rattle loose. A re-roof means stripping the old tiles and underlay, checking the rafters, then fitting breathable membrane, new treated battens and new tiles, with dry-fix ridges and verges to suit the open, windy setting. The handful of older cottages with clay tiles and chimneys get a gentler approach, keeping the original look where we can.

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

Before the scaffold goes up in Tiptree

Like-for-like re-roofing on most Tiptree homes does not need planning permission, though a listed cottage needs listed building consent, and we check this before quoting. It is also a good moment to swap tired timber fascias and gutters while the scaffold is already up. Every new roof comes with 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.
