Roofing Specialists
Pitched, flat, repairs, emergencies and full re-roofs — handled end-to-end by an owner-led roofing team with 25 years on the tools across Hertfordshire and the Essex border.
About this service
Our roofing service covers everything that sits on top of, around, or attached to a UK domestic roof. From a single slipped tile through to a full strip-and-re-roof, EPDM flat roof installation or a leaning chimney rebuild — it's all handled in-house by tradesmen who do this work every day.
We work primarily for residential homeowners across Hertfordshire and Essex, with regular landlord and small commercial work mixed in. Most enquiries fall into one of four buckets: a leak that needs investigating, an ageing roof that's reached the end of its life, roofline upgrades (gutters, fascias, soffits) booked alongside external works, or a planned project like a new flat roof on an extension. We quote each one honestly — repair where a repair will hold, replace where it genuinely needs replacing.

Competent Roofer Certification means we self-certify roofing work under Building Regulations — no separate Building Control sign-off needed on most projects.
Jamie has been laying, repairing and re-roofing UK domestic properties for a quarter of a century. That experience shows up on every quote.
Where a repair will genuinely hold, we'll say so. We don't quote re-roofs to homes that don't need them — and our reputation depends on that.
Every roof job above single-storey gets proper scaffolding. Safer for our team, better quality work, and you can see what's happening.
How It Works
Jamie attends, gets up on the roof where needed, and diagnoses properly — not from the ground with binoculars.
You get a clear written breakdown of materials, labour, scaffolding and timescales. No hidden extras.
Materials ordered, scaffold booked, weather window monitored. We give you a realistic start and finish date.
Final inspection, written workmanship guarantee and a contractor who answers the phone if anything ever needs revisiting.
Service Area
We cover the full Hertfordshire and Essex border from our base in Bishop's Stortford. Roofing call-outs, planned re-roofs and roofline projects are regularly scheduled across Bishop's Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Harlow, Saffron Walden, Stansted Mountfitchet, Great Dunmow, Epping, Ware, Hoddesdon, Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage.
For non-emergency work, response time depends on distance from base and current scheduling. Emergency roof leaks always take priority over planned works.
