Roofing services
Roofing across Essex
From a single slipped tile to a complete new roof, on pitched and flat roofs, with emergency help 24 hours a day.
Roofing is the core of what Weathershield does. Our team brings more than 20 years of industry experience to repairs, replacements and the details that keep water out: flashings, valleys, ridges and roofline.
We start every job by finding the real cause. That way you only pay for what your roof actually needs, whether that's a repair, a partial renewal or a full re-roof.
For leaks and storm damage we take calls 24 hours a day. Same-day repairs are subject to availability, safe access, weather and an on-site assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on both pitched and flat roofs?
Yes: tiled and slate pitched roofs, and flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and liquid systems.
How do I know if I need a repair or a new roof?
If faults are local and the rest of the roof is sound, repair. If problems recur across the roof or the underlay has perished, replacement is often better value. Our guide explains more.
Do you replace fascias and guttering?
Yes. Roofline (fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes) is a core part of our roofing work.
