We carry out roofing work regularly throughout Bishops Stortford and the surrounding area. Bishops Stortford is a prosperous market town with a varied housing stock - Victorian and Edwardian properties in the town centre and Hockerill area, inter-war and post-war housing across Thorley and the surrounding estates, and a significant amount of modern detached housing on developments built from the 1980s onwards.
The surrounding villages - Stansted Mountfitchet, Much Hadham, Sawbridgeworth and others - contain older rural properties and period cottages with a wide range of roofing types. We work across all of these regularly and understand the specific needs of both the town housing and the rural properties in this part of east Hertfordshire.

Call the TeamHere is what tends to go wrong with roofs in Bishops Stortford - and what to do about it.
The older properties in Bishops Stortford town centre and Hockerill retain many original roofing features - natural slate, clay ridge tiles, original lead flashings and brick chimney stacks with lime mortar pointing. As these properties approach or exceed a hundred years of age, the most common issues are slipped or cracked slates, deteriorated ridge and flashing mortar, and failed lead at chimney bases. Catching these problems early prevents water ingress that can cause significant damage to roof timbers and internal plasterwork.
Bishops Stortford has seen substantial development over the past 40 years and a large proportion of its housing stock is modern detached and semi-detached properties from the 1980s, 90s and 2000s. These typically have concrete interlocking tile on pitched roofs and felt flat roofs on integral garages and rear extensions. Roof repairs on these properties are generally more straightforward, but flat roofs installed in the 1980s and 90s are now well past their expected lifespan and replacement with EPDM or single-ply is the most practical and long-lasting solution.
The villages surrounding Bishops Stortford contain older rural properties - farmhouses, cottages and converted agricultural buildings - with a wide variety of roof types including clay peg tile, handmade clay plain tile, and reclaimed natural slate. These properties often require specialist sourcing of matching materials and an understanding of traditional roofing methods. Where properties are listed or in conservation areas, planning requirements also need to be considered. We carry out this type of work regularly in the villages around Bishops Stortford.
A damp patch on a ceiling, tiles that have moved or are visibly out of alignment, mortar debris below the chimney after high winds, or gutters that overflow or drip between the gutter channel and the fascia - these are the signals worth acting on. In our experience, dealing with a roofing problem when it first appears costs a fraction of what it costs to repair the water damage that accumulates when the problem is left. We carry out free surveys across Bishops Stortford and CM23 and give you a clear, honest assessment of what needs attention.
