Roof repairs, new roofs, flat roofing and emergency leaks across Hertford and the SG postcodes. Free inspection, honest written quote, no call-out charge.
Tell us about your roof. We usually reply the same day.
Hertford is the county town of Hertfordshire, and its housing reflects centuries of building, from Georgian and period homes around the town centre to the brick semis and bungalows that ring Bengeo, Hertingfordbury and Hertford Heath. Each age and style of roof needs a slightly different approach. We work across the whole town and the surrounding SG postcodes, and we see the same local problems again and again.
On the older town-centre homes it is usually slipped or cracked tiles, worn chimney leadwork and tired pointing. The post-war semis and bungalows often need ridge and valley work or chimney repairs. And right across Hertford the most common call we get is an ageing felt flat roof on a rear extension, garage or dormer that has finally started to let water in. Whatever your roof, we inspect it properly, show you photos of what we find and give you a straight, written quote.
Slipped and cracked tiles, leaks, failed flashing, ridge and valley problems and storm damage, fixed fast. We climb up and inspect properly before quoting, show you photos of what we find, and tell you honestly whether a repair will do the job or whether you would be better replacing. Most Hertford repairs are sorted in a single visit.
Full re-roofs in tile or natural slate, ideal for the period and Georgian homes around Hertford town centre as well as the semis and bungalows in Bengeo and Hertford Heath. We match materials carefully so the roof keeps its original character, strip back what is failing, and rebuild with proper underlay, ventilation and detailing for long-term protection.
Flat roof repairs, replacements and new installations across Hertford and nearby areas. We work on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial roofs using EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, torch-on felt and liquid systems. New installs are built with proper falls, drainage and clean detailing to prevent leaks, and we recommend the right system based on the roof size, access and how the space is used, so you are not paying for the wrong solution.
If your flat roof has reached the point where repairs are constant, we will strip back what is failing and install a new system designed for long-term protection. If the structure and most of the covering are still sound, a targeted repair to leaks, splits, lifting edges and damaged joins is often the better call. Either way you get honest advice on what can be fixed and what needs replacing.
The roofline does the quiet work of keeping water off your walls and out of the roof timbers. We replace tired or rotten fascias and soffits with low-maintenance uPVC, and renew sagging or blocked guttering and downpipes so rainwater drains away cleanly. A common job on Hertford homes where the original timber boards have started to soften.
Hertford's older town-centre and period homes often have tall chimney stacks with worn lead flashing, cracked flaunching and loose pointing, all common sources of leaks. We re-point, re-flaunch, renew lead soakers and flashing and rebuild stacks where needed, using proper code-rated lead so the work lasts.
Fast response for leaks, storm damage and sudden roofing issues across Hertford. If water is coming through your ceiling or you have noticed tiles on the ground after bad weather, call us as soon as possible and we will talk you through the next steps. We attend quickly to assess the damage, make the roof safe, fit temporary covering if needed, and then complete a proper repair once everything is safe. Acting early often stops a minor issue from turning into a much bigger and more expensive problem. Avoid going onto the roof yourself, especially in wind or rain, most injuries we see come from homeowners trying to fix things without the right equipment.
Spray foam insulation sprayed onto the underside of the rafters can trap moisture, rot timbers and make a roof difficult to sell or mortgage. We remove spray foam safely, clear the rafters, inspect the timbers underneath and advise on proper ventilation and insulation so your roof can breathe again.
Moss and debris trap water against your tiles and block gutters and valleys, which over time leads to leaks and frost damage. We clear moss by hand to protect the tile surface, clear out gutters and valleys, and leave your roof clean and draining properly.
Many homes around Hertford town centre and the older parts of Bengeo need like-for-like materials such as natural slate or clay tile to keep their original look and meet local planning expectations. We are used to working on period and Georgian roofs and match materials carefully. On the tighter streets near the centre we plan access and parking in advance so the job runs smoothly for you and your neighbours.
