SET Building & Brickwork carries out house roofing in Chelmsford and the surrounding parts of Essex. We price every job after a visit to the property.

A straight answer on your roof

We come out, look at the roof properly and 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 too. SET Building & Brickwork has over 15 years in the trade.

Planning rules in Chelmsford

Planning applications in Chelmsford go to Chelmsford City Council. The council has 26 conservation areas, nine of them in the city itself, including Moulsham Street and the West End.

Some jobs need a full application and some fall under permitted development. We tell you which applies before you pay for drawings, and build to your architect's and structural engineer's drawings.

Building control in Chelmsford

Building regulations are signed off separately from planning. Where your roof needs building regulations approval, we book the inspections with Chelmsford City Council or an approved inspector and see it through to the completion certificate.

Questions about house roofing in Chelmsford

How do I get a quote?

Whichever suits you best: call us on 07792 625391, message us on WhatsApp, or fill in our short enquiry form. We will arrange a time to come and see the property, then put a written quote together.

Do I need a full new roof or just repairs?

It depends on the condition of the covering and the timbers underneath. We look at it and tell you honestly whether a repair will do.

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.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Shaun and his team done for us! From the extension through to the internal refurbishments, everything has been completed to a really high standard with great attention to detail…

Shaun and his team have carried out a large extension for me at Chelmsford over the last 5 months. Was impressed at how quick his team completed the work. Skilled and experienced on groundworks, brickwork, structural steelwork, roofing and driveways. Has managed the project well and given us honest advice throughout. Very grateful to have found a building company we can trust, at a competitive price. Recommend 100%
