Our Services Include
(Follow links to view services)


New Roofs, Tiling & Slating
We install all types of roof tiles, from leading UK tile makers. Every new roof includes airflow, insulation, ridge and verge detailing.
Clay & Concrete Roof Tiles
A defining feature of 1930s semi-detached homes across Great Baddow, Galleywood, and Springfield. Roof shapes designed to suit the profile and weight of traditional tiled roofs.
Clay tiles provide a traditional appearance, while concrete tiles create straight lines and an orderly finish. Both tiles suit family homes, providing strength and long-term performance.
Interlocking Roof Tiles
Standard on post-war homes and newer builds in Chelmer Village, Tile Kiln, and Beaulieu Park. Interlocking tiles fit tightly together to create a strong seal against wind-driven rain.
Consistent shape and wide coverage make them ideal for larger roofs. Where clean lines and reliable weather protection are required.
Man-Made Slate
Commonly specified for newer homes and extensions throughout Chelmsford. Man-made slate closely matches the appearance of natural slate.
While offering consistent sizing and reduced weight. Ideal for modern homes, loft conversions, and extensions. A sleek finish without the structural demands of natural slate.
Flat Roofs
Standard on garages, rear extensions, and dormers throughout Chelmsford. Flat roofs are finished with purpose-designed waterproof materials on properties in both established areas, such as Moulsham and newer developments.
Flat roofs are built for durability, coping with standing water, temperature variation, and constant exposure to the elements.

Flat Roofs
Flat roofs are common across Chelmsford on townhouses, dormers, garage conversions, and extensions.
Three-Layer Felt
A well-established flat roofing material. Built up in stuck-together layers to create a durable, waterproof roof covering. Strong weather cover at a low cost and widely used on garages, porches, and rear add-ons of older homes throughout the city.
Torch-On Felt
Heated sheets form a tough, watertight layer. Excellent protection from wind and rain, and widely used on extensions, blocks of flats, and low-rise business buildings.
GRP Fibreglass
A joint-free, resin which hardens into a solid, watertight roof. GRP is well-suited to extensions, dormer roofs, and new homes. All of which require a clean finish and long lifespan.
EPDM Rubber
Known for its flexibility, low upkeep and extra-long life. Widely used on extensions, dormers, garages, and garden rooms across Chelmsford. EDPM is well-suited to larger flat roofs.
Leadwork & Flashing
Leadwork keeps homes leak-free.
We offer a complete range of leadwork services. All materials are BS EN 12588 milled lead, fitted in line with LSA trade standards:
Step Flashings & Soakers
Used where an angled roof meets an upright wall, the side of a house or extension. Separate lead soakers sit beneath each tile, while the step flashing covers the joint and is fixed into the brickwork, directing water down the roof without penetrating the structure.
Lead Valleys
Lead valleys are fitted where two roof slopes meet to form an inside corner. They carry rainwater down to the gutter. An essential part of the roof’s drainage system.
Parapet & Dormer Coverings
Lead is used to cover parapet walls and dormer roofs. Creating a continuous waterproof layer which can handle shifting and weather. On parapet walls, lead protects the top and sides from water getting in. On dormers, it makes up the main roof covering or detailed joins around windows.
Weathering For Flat-To-Pitched Joints
Used where a flat roof meets a pitched roof. Closing off the joint and guiding water away from it. Lead is laid over the flat roof upstand and built into the tiles or slates above. Creating a durable, movement-tolerant seal.


Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
We install Fascias, soffits, guttering, and downpipes.
Fascias
Fascias are the flat boards fixed to the roof edge that support the bottom row of tiles. They provide a secure fixing point for guttering. uPVC fascias resist rot, bending, and water. A long-lasting replacement for wood. They require minimal upkeep, don’t need painting, and give the roofline a clean, tidy look.
Soffits
Soffits are fixed under the fascia to cover the underside of the roof edge. They protect roof timbers from the weather and allow airflow into the roof space to reduce damp. uPVC soffits are strong, easy to clean, and supplied with built-in air vents.
Guttering
Guttering collects rainwater from the roof. Directing it away from your home. uPVC guttering is lightweight, strong, and won’t rust. It’s easy to maintain, cost-effective, and helps prevent damp, water staining, and damage to brickwork and foundations.
Roof Windows & Skylights
We fit Velux windows, flat roof skylights, sun tunnels, and lanterns.
Velux windows
Roof windows fitted into sloping roofs bring in daylight and air. Widely used in loft conversions and bedrooms across Chelmsford. Common in Victorian terraces around Springfield and Old Moulsham.
A pair of Velux windows can turn a dark loft into a ready-to-use bedroom or home office. Adding light while meeting building rules.
Flat Roof Skylights
Sit flat or modestly raised above flat roofs, filling single-floor spaces with daylight. They are a popular solution in rear kitchen extensions.
For example, a new extension to a 1930s house in Great Baddow could include a large flat roof skylight above the kitchen-diner. Flooding the space with natural light while maintaining privacy from nearby homes.
Sun Tunnels
Small systems which carry light through tubes into internal rooms. Ideal for homes where hallways, bathrooms, or stairwells don’t have outside walls.
A sun tunnel can brighten a windowless landing or ensuite with minimal building work. A simple solution for tight or hard-to-use spaces.
Roof Lanterns
Glass, raised frames installed on flat roofs to maximise light and create a main feature. A large aluminium lantern over an open room adds height, visual interest, and steady daylight throughout the space.


Emergency Roofing Services
Sudden leaks, storm damage, and slipped tiles cause serious problems. All roofs need quick action when tiles fall or flashing fails.
Our emergency Roofers in Chelmsford offer a fast response.
We prioritise making your property weather-safe as quickly as possible. We’ll secure your roof and prevent water from entering.
Once secure, we can assess the damage and explain the most cost-effective repair options.
