Isolated slipped tiles or one perished section of flashing is always a repair. Multiple failures across a roof that's already 40+ years old usually points toward replacement. We give honest advice after a proper survey — not a sales pitch." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How much does roofing work cost in Hertfordshire?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Small repairs typically start in the low hundreds. Full pitched re-roofs on a typical semi-detached usually fall between £6,000 and £14,000 depending on materials, pitch, scaffolding and access. Flat roof replacements on a single-storey extension generally sit between £1,800 and £4,500. We quote every job individually — these are guide ranges, not fixed prices." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What's the difference between EPDM, GRP and felt flat roofing?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "EPDM is a rubber membrane, single-piece on most domestic roofs, with 25+ year lifespans. GRP fibreglass is rigid, very durable and seamless across the whole roof. Modern torch-on felt is the budget option but has a shorter lifespan. Choice depends on roof size, budget, and what's beneath the deck. We'll talk through trade-offs before quoting." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you handle Building Regulations sign-off for re-roofs?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. As a CRC (Competent Roofer Certification) holder, we self-certify domestic roofing work that falls under Building Regulations — meaning no separate Building Control submission or fee is needed for most re-roofing projects." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does a re-roof take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A standard semi-detached pitched re-roof is typically 4–7 working days including scaffold up and down, weather permitting. Larger detached properties can run to 10+ days. Flat roofs on extensions or garages are usually 2–4 days. We commit to a finish date in writing." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you guarantee your roofing work?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. All workmanship is covered by our guarantee, with the exact term confirmed in writing on each quote. Manufacturer-backed guarantees on flat roof systems and certain materials run longer than the completion sign-off — we explain both upfront." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can you work on listed buildings or conservation areas?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. We regularly work on older properties across Saffron Walden, Sawbridgeworth and Bishop's Stortford conservation areas. Like-for-like material matching, traditional methods and sympathetic detailing are all part of the job — and we'll flag any planning or listed building consent considerations early." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you offer emergency cover at weekends?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — we trade seven days a week including Sundays. Call 07379 964569 for emergency roof leaks, storm damage or anything that's making water." } } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://jandco-contractorsltd.co.uk/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Roofing", "item": "https://jandco-contractorsltd.co.uk/roofing/" } ] } ] --- We use essential cookies to run this site, and optional cookies only with your consent.

From a single slipped tile through to a full strip-and-re-roof, EPDM flat roof installation or a leaning chimney rebuild — it's all handled in-house by tradesmen who do this work every day. We work primarily for residential homeowners across Hertfordshire and Essex, with regular landlord and small commercial work mixed in. Most enquiries fall into one of four buckets: a leak that needs investigating, an ageing roof that's reached the end of its life, roofline upgrades (gutters, fascias, soffits) booked alongside external works, or a planned project like a new flat roof on an extension. We quote each one honestly — repair where a repair will hold, replace where it genuinely needs replacing. ![Freshly installed slate pitched roof with new lead flashing on a Hertfordshire detached house](/assets/wa-435-169-BMBPQKLs.jpeg) Our Services ## Roofing Services We Offer Pick the service that matches what you need.

That experience shows up on every quote. ### Honest Repair-First Approach Where a repair will genuinely hold, we'll say so.

Safer for our team, better quality work, and you can see what's happening. How It Works ## Our Roofing Process 01 ### Free Site Survey Jamie attends, gets up on the roof where needed, and diagnoses properly — not from the ground with binoculars. 02 ### Written Itemised Quote You get a clear written breakdown of materials, labour, scaffolding and timescales. No hidden extras. 03 ### Scheduled Works Materials ordered, scaffold booked, weather window monitored. We give you a realistic start and finish date. 04 ### Guarantee & Aftercare Final inspection and a contractor who answers the phone if anything ever needs revisiting.
