— Our Process
How It Works
Site Survey & Quote
Ben inspects the roof, checks structure and discusses materials, then issues a clear, written no-obligation quote with timescales and guarantee details.
Strip & Preparation
We remove the existing covering, inspect and replace any damaged battens or timbers, and prepare the roof for the new membrane and coverings.
Supply, Install & Finish
We fit the chosen tiles/slates or flat roof system, complete leadwork and roofline, clear the site and issue warranty paperwork on completion.

Clear Costs, Local Service
Free, no-obligation quotes, local knowledge of Brentwood properties and a prompt, tidy service within a 20-mile radius — minimal fuss, reliable timescales.
What we install — complete new pitched and flat roofs using traditional tiles, slates and modern flat-roof systems, plus associated lead work and roofline (soffits, fascias, guttering). We remove the old covering, inspect and replace any rotten timbers, fit breathable membranes and battens, then lay the new finish so your home is weatherproof and structurally sound.
How we work — every job starts with a site survey and a transparent quote. We plan access and scaffolding where required, manage waste removal and leave the site tidy. All work is carried out by experienced operatives under the supervision of owner Ben Short, and completed with a written guarantee. For enquiries call 07979 842723 or email ben.short@hotmail.co.uk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Duration depends on roof size, pitch and materials — most average semi-detached roofs take 5–10 working days from strip to finish. We provide a project timescale with your quote and aim to minimise disruption with organised daily clean-ups.
