Roofing in Brentwood
New roofs, flat roofs and repairs, carried out as standalone work or as part of a larger build. Working in Brentwood and the surrounding area.
SET Building & Brickwork carries out roofing work in Brentwood and the surrounding parts of Essex. We price every job after visiting the property rather than over the phone.
A straight answer on your roof
We get up and look before we price, then tell you whether it needs a repair or a re-roof and why. Where planning applies, such as re-roofing in a conservation area, we sort that before the scaffold goes up. SET Building & Brickwork has over 15 years in the trade.
- Inspected before it is priced
- Repair or re-roof, explained

Planning rules in Brentwood
Planning applications in Brentwood go to Brentwood Borough Council. The town centre is one of the borough's 13 conservation areas, and all of the countryside around it is Green Belt, 89% of the borough, where an extension is measured against the size of the original house.
Some jobs need a full application and some fall under permitted development. We tell you which applies before you pay for drawings, build to your architect's and structural engineer's drawings, and book the building control inspections.
What a new roof costs
Every job prices differently. The property, the specification and what we find on site all matter, which is why we visit in person before quoting rather than giving a figure over the phone.
Call us on 07792 625391 or send over your plans and we will arrange a time to come and look.
Questions about roofing
Do I need a full new roof or just repairs?
It depends on the condition of the covering and the timbers underneath. We will look at it and give you an honest assessment rather than defaulting to the larger job.
Do you do flat roofs on extensions?
Yes. Flat roofs form part of much of our extension work, including the detailing around rooflights and lanterns.
