Roofers in Billericay

Billericay is a prosperous commuter town in south Essex with a historic High Street and a large amount of interwar and post-war residential development spreading around it. The roofscape mixes clay plain tile and slate on the older centre with concrete interlocking tile on the 20th-century semis and detached housing, and flat-roofed extensions are common across the well-to-do suburbs, along with more complex roofs on the larger detached houses.

Inland in south Essex, the town escapes coastal salt but takes cold easterly winds, and the ageing concrete-tile roofs of the mid-century housing are now reaching renewal age. The historic High Street carries some conservation constraint where materials on visible work are controlled.

For Billericay owners, the common decisions are about the suburban housing — whether ageing concrete-tile or flat roofs are due for overhaul or replacement — while the larger detached roofs warrant attention to their valleys, hips and junctions. Match materials on any visible work in the conservation streets, and keep gutters and flashings maintained.
