Roofers in Wivenhoe
Quayside cottages, narrow streets and a conservation area by the river. Careful roof repairs, re-roofing and lead work in Wivenhoe and the villages nearby.
Wivenhoe's old town by the Colne is a conservation area of fishermen's cottages, period houses and narrow streets, many with clay tile and slate roofs and plenty of chimneys. It's six miles or so from our base, so it's very much on our patch, and we've re-roofed homes in the CO7 area.

Roofing in Wivenhoe
In the old town, access can be tight and roofs are often small, steep and old. Repairs need matching tiles and lead, and scaffolding has to be planned around narrow streets and neighbours. Being on the estuary, roofs also take more wind and damp than inland.
Up the hill and towards the university, newer estates have concrete tiles, dry fix systems and extensions, where we repair tiles, ridges and verges and replace flat roofs.
