We use clay or concrete tiles to create a durable, weather-resistant covering. This offers a strong balance of performance, appearance and value, and individual damaged tiles can often be replaced without disturbing the whole roof.
Slate roofs use natural or manufactured slates to create a smart, traditional finish. Slate is extremely long-lasting, attractive and well suited to period properties. It provides superior storm resistance and durability as slates are stronger than tiles.
We install new pitched roofs for homes, extensions, garages, outbuildings and more. We prepare the roof structure, fit breathable membrane and battens, install the chosen tiles or slates, and finish the roof with suitable ridge, verge, valley and leadwork details.
We repair slipped tiles, cracked slates, storm damage, roof leaks, loose ridges, damaged verges and worn roof junctions. We identify where water is getting in and carry out targeted repairs to restore the roof’s weather protection.
We replace broken, missing or damaged tiles and slates using suitable materials for the roof. We always try to ensure that the repair blends in with the surrounding roof area as much as possible. Where possible we will source the exact same slate or tile.
We repair and renew ridge tiles, verge details and valley sections to help keep exposed areas watertight. We repoint mortar where suitable, replace damaged components and clear or repair valleys where water flow has been affected.
If you’ve got an urgent roof issue or water ingress, please give us a call. We can install a fast, temporary fix to prevent any further damage in the short term, and can then advise about the best long-term repair.
We repair and replace lead flashings around chimneys, roof abutments, valleys and other vulnerable junctions. Our leadwork is carefully fitted to direct water away from the roof structure, helping prevent leaks and protect key roof joints.
We inspect the chimney, leadwork, brickwork, flaunching and nearby roof covering to find likely causes of leaks. We then carry out the smallest repair needed to restore long-lasting weather protection.
We serve most postcodes including SS0, SS1, SS2 and SS3.
In Southend-on-Sea we often work on dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Leigh, Westcliff and central Southend, where close spacing calls for careful scaffold layout and protection to adjoining roofs and gardens. In Leigh Old Town or Clifftown, reroofing may need closer material matching and planning checks, while estuary-facing roofs benefit from extra attention to flashings, gutters and chimney details.

Came out to visit same day and had a good examination of our roof from the inside and outside. Was able to pinpoint the exact problem. He said he would be with me by 8am the next day and was on the dot. Took 2 days to complete and had no issues, excellent service.

Ben was honest and reliable. I had a few other companies look and they didn’t seem to want to show me proof of the problem and kept saying I needed new roof. Ben pinpointed the problem and work was done in a few days and at a very good price. Excellent service.
