— About This Service
B.Short Roofing fit and repair soffits, fascias, guttering and external cladding with practical, durable solutions tailored to each property. With over 20 years’ roofing experience and Checkatrade approval, Ben Short offers clear advice, quality materials and workmanship that’s fully insured and guaranteed. We work on period homes, modern semis and new builds across Brentwood, Chelmsford and nearby Essex areas.
— Our Process
Ben inspects the roofline, checks for rot, ventilation issues and water damage, then explains repair or replacement options in plain terms.
You get a no-obligation written quote detailing materials (PVC-u, timber, aluminium, cast-iron), leadwork and timescales so there are no surprises.
Work is carried out to industry standards with waste removed, flashing dressed correctly and a final inspection to guarantee neat joints and reliable drainage.
— Benefits
Twenty years on roofs across Brentwood and Essex means practical solutions for bay windows, dormers and period bargeboards — not generic fixes.
Checkatrade-vetted tradesmanship backed by public liability insurance and a workmanship guarantee for reassurance on every job.
We match materials to the property — breathable vented soffits for older homes, durable PVC-u or aluminium for a low‑maintenance finish.
Protecting your roofline — Soffits, fascias, guttering and cladding are the unseen defence against water ingress and timber rot. We replace rotten timber fascias, fit vented soffits to keep roofspace dry, and install robust guttering systems to control runoff. For appearance-sensitive jobs we offer timber replacements and high-quality PVC-u or aluminium finishes matched to existing joinery and roof tiles.
Practical, tidy installations across Essex — Ben Short handles supply, repair and full replacement with on-site leadwork, flashings and neatly sealed joints. All work is quoted in writing, carried out with public liability insurance in place and completed to a high standard you can expect from a Checkatrade-approved roofer based in Brentwood.
— FAQ
Look for soft or sagging timber, peeling paint, black mould at the roofline or birds/wasps entering soffit vents. Water staining inside the loft and blocked gutters are also signs. Ben will carry out a free survey and advise whether repair or full replacement is the most cost-effective option.
