We carry out roof repairs in Chelmsford and across Essex: slipped and broken tiles, leaks, ridge and hip tiles, valleys, verges and flashings.

Working with you

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
  • Conservation area rules checked

Finding the leak

Water rarely comes through the ceiling right under where it gets in. It runs along the felt and the timbers first, so we trace it back to the source before we fix anything.

Ridges, valleys and flashings

The joins in a roof are where the trouble starts: the ridge, the valleys, the verges, and wherever the roof meets a wall or a chimney. They are the first places we check.

Where the mortar on a ridge or verge has failed, we rebed or replace the tiles rather than fill the cracks.

When roof repairs stop being worth it

A roof that has had repair after repair can cost less to re-roof than to keep patching. We give you a straight view of which makes sense for yours.

Questions about roof repairs

Do you repair flat roofs as well?

Yes. We repair a flat roof where the covering is sound, and tell you when it needs replacing instead.

Will you tell me if a repair is not worth doing?

Yes. If the roof needs more than a repair, we say so and explain why.
