Roof Repairs In Bishop's Stortford

Bishop's Stortford's mix of old and new means roof repairs here cover a lot of ground. Older roofs around the centre suffer from slipped tiles, tired ridges and worn lead, while the large modern estates tend to have loose verges, lifted ridge caps and small leaks. Many can be fixed without a new roof.

Local Knowledge

Repairs on old and new roofs in the town

On the Victorian and Edwardian streets around the town centre, we refix slipped slates and clay tiles, re-bed or dry-fix ridges where mortar has crumbled, and replace worn or split lead around chimneys and valleys. In Thorley Park and St Michael's Mead, the jobs are usually smaller. Mortar verges crack and fall away, and we either re-bed them or fit a dry verge system that clips over the tile edges. Loose ridge caps and leaks at soil pipes or vents are common too. We find the actual source of the leak and photograph it, so you can see exactly what we have found.

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

Repairs in the conservation area

Repairs on buildings in the historic centre, especially listed ones, should use matching clay tiles, slate and lead. Like-for-like repairs usually don't need permission, but we check before we quote. Catching a slipped tile early stops water reaching the battens and ceilings below. Your free written quote explains the repair and what caused the problem.

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.
