Braintree roofing services
With Springwood industrial estate on the doorstep, Braintree gives us a mix of commercial, industrial and agricultural work alongside domestic roofs. Our roofing work covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

Typical jobs on town housing
Town housing, estates and industrial premises.
Downtime and access planning
Work around Springwood industrial estate is scheduled so trading, deliveries and site access continue.
Failed ridge and hip mortar
Bedding mortar on town housing cracks and lets ridge tiles move; dry-fix is the usual long-term answer on the exposed side towards the A120.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Braintree call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on modern estates — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.

Want a written quote you can compare?
Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Essex quotes can be judged against it properly.
Our working method
Inspection first
Nothing is priced before someone has been on the roof or a ladder over it.
Honest recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the covering is finished, we explain why rather than patching indefinitely.
Specification in writing
Membrane, battens, fixings and detailing are all listed, so quotes from other Essex firms can be compared properly.
Clean handover
Scaffold struck, gutters cleared, and the site tidied before we invoice.
What you can expect from us
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to Springwood industrial estate, quoted on the same basis.
Free inspections
Inspections in Braintree are free and carry no obligation — including the written quotation.
Independent, Costessey based

Practical answers before you book
- Can you work on commercial premises around Springwood industrial estate?
- Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.
- What does a roofing quote in Braintree cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
- Do we need permission from Braintree District Council?
- Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.
- Do you actually cover Braintree, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Braintree is about 12 miles from Chelmsford, reached on the A120. It's a normal working area for us, not an outlier.
- How long will the work take?
- A repair is often the same day; a full re-cover on a typical house is usually a matter of days once scaffold is up. We give indicative dates with the quote and confirm them when materials are ordered.
Next steps in Braintree
Most of what we see in Braintree is town housing, and the failure points here are predictable: slipped tiles and perished bedding mortar. That is where an inspection starts. CM7 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Braintree District Council.
