New Roofs In Bishop's Stortford

Roofs in Bishop's Stortford range from centuries old to brand new, so no two re-roofing jobs here are quite alike. One might be a clay tiled building near Windhill, the next a Victorian house with slate, or a post-war semi whose original concrete tiles have had their day.

Local Knowledge

Who needs a new roof in Bishop's Stortford?

Most full replacements we quote for are on the post-war homes and on the Victorian and Edwardian houses ringing the town centre. On post-war roofs, the original felt beneath the tiles is often torn and brittle, battens have rotted and tiles keep slipping. We strip back to the rafters, fit breathable underlay and new battens, then lay new tiles with ridges and verges fixed mechanically. On Victorian and Edwardian homes we re-roof in slate or clay to match, reusing what we can. Homes on the newer estates, such as Thorley Park and St Michael's Mead, rarely need a full re-roof; repairs and roofline work are more usual there.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01279 294082 or book online.

Planning around the historic centre

The historic centre around North Street, Windhill and Bridge Street is a conservation area with many listed buildings. Changing roof materials or adding roof windows there may need permission or consent. Like-for-like replacement elsewhere usually does not. Your new roof is covered by 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.
