Roofers in Letchworth
Repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs and chimneys across Letchworth, with a free survey and a written guarantee.
Letchworth was the world's first garden city, and many of its early homes were designed in the Arts and Crafts style: steep roofs in handmade red clay tiles, deep eaves, catslide roofs swept down over porches, swept valleys, eyebrow dormers and tall brick chimneys. They are beautiful roofs, and they need roofers who will repair them like for like.
Most of the town falls under the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation's Scheme of Management. That means changes to the outside of a house, including roof coverings, roof windows and solar panels, often need the Foundation's consent as well as any planning permission. We are used to working within it, and we will help you get the details right before work is booked.
Away from the original estates, Jackmans and Lordship have post-war housing with concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages, which bring the same ageing felt and flat roof problems we see across the area.
Roofing services in Letchworth
Roof repairs
Most leaks come down to one small failure: a slipped tile, a cracked ridge, a gap in the flashing.
Typically £180 to £950
New roofs and re-roofing
When repairs stop being worth it, we strip the roof back to the rafters and rebuild it with modern breathable membrane, treated battens and your choice of tile or slate..
Typically £6,500 to £19,500
Flat roofs
Most flat roofs fail at the edges and joints, not in the middle.

Chimney repairs and repointing
A chimney takes more weather than any other part of the house.

PLACEHOLDER. They knew exactly what the Heritage Foundation needed and matched our old clay tiles so well you cannot see where the repair is.
PLACEHOLDER. They sent photos of the old felt from inside our loft before quoting, which made the decision easy. The new roof went on in eight days and the garden was spotless when they left.
PLACEHOLDER. Two other roofers told us we needed a new roof. Dave found the leak was the chimney flashing, fixed it in a day and charged a fraction of what we had been quoted.
