When repair isn’t enough, we can replace your roof completely — safely, efficiently, and to a finish you’ll be proud of. We handle every stage, from stripping and disposal to new underlays, battening, and re-tiling, using high-quality materials suitable for Essex homes.
Our re-roofs are built to last and come fully guaranteed. We focus on craftsmanship and communication at every step, keeping you informed and your property protected throughout the process.
Our drone inspection service gives you a clear, detailed view of your roof — without the need for ladders or scaffolding. It’s ideal before repairs or re-roofing, helping us spot hidden issues early and provide accurate quotes.
We also offer inspections for home buyers and property owners who want reassurance before committing. You’ll receive images and a full report, giving you confidence in your next steps.



Your fascias, soffits, and gutters are essential to protecting your roof and walls from water damage. We supply and install durable uPVC systems that complement your property while improving ventilation and drainage.
Our team can repair, replace, or fully renew your roofline, keeping it low-maintenance and weather-tight for years to come. Every installation is carried out safely, neatly, and guaranteed for lasting reliability.
We install modern dry ridge, dry ventilation valleys, and dry verge systems that provide strong, maintenance-free ventilation for tiled roofs. These systems replace old cement bedding, reducing future repair needs while improving airflow and performance.
Our solutions help your roof breathe and prevent common issues like dampness or trapped condensation — especially in older Essex properties.



Brighten your loft or extension with expertly fitted Velux roof windows. We handle everything from measuring and cutting to sealing and finishing, ensuring a perfect, watertight fit every time.
Our installations are carried out by skilled roofers familiar with both traditional and modern roofing structures, giving you natural light without leaks or draughts.

Your chimney takes the full force of the weather, and over time, the mortar, render, bricks, and leadwork can start to fail. We carry out all types of chimney stack repairs and renovations across Essex, from small repointing jobs to full structural rebuilds.
Whether it’s crumbling mortar, cracked render, loose bricks or failed flashing, we’ll assess the condition of your chimney and restore it to a safe, secure and weather-tight state.

Lead work is one of our proudest areas of expertise. From step flashing to decorative detailing, we combine traditional methods with modern techniques to ensure strength, flexibility, and weather resistance.
