Roofers in Bishop's Stortford for the old town, Hockerill and the newer estates
Roofers in Bishop's Stortford for the old buildings of Windhill and North Street, the Victorian streets around Hockerill and the station, and the newer estates of Thorley Park, St Michael's Mead and Bishop's Park. Ring 07310 120341 for a free written quote from Kieran, the owner.
Bishop's Stortford's old town climbs from the River Stort up Windhill to St Michael's Church, with timber-framed and Georgian buildings along North Street, Bridge Street and Windhill. Across the river, Hockerill and the streets towards the station are Victorian. Then, from the 1980s on, the town grew out through Thorley Park, St Michael's Mead and Bishop's Park.
That gives the town two very different roofing jobs. Old town roofs need matched clay tiles and slate, hips and valleys rebuilt the way they were, and lead and chimney work done properly. The newer estates are concrete interlocking tile on modern membrane, and what wears out there is the fittings: dry verge caps that crack and blow off, ridge units that work loose, mortar fillets at walls that crack, and valleys and gutters that fill with moss.
None of those faults on a newer estate needs a new roof. Kieran replaces broken verge caps and ridge units, swaps cracked mortar fillets for lead flashing, clears valleys and gutters, and reseals or replaces leaking gutter runs, which keeps a 30-year-old roof good for decades more.

Bishop's Stortford questions
My dry verge caps keep blowing off. Can you fix them?
Yes. Broken caps are replaced with a matching dry verge system fixed to the battens, along the whole gable if the old ones have gone brittle in the sun.
Is a 1990s roof too new to need a roofer?
No. The tiles last, but verges, ridges, valleys and gutters on a 30-year-old roof wear out. Fixing them now stops water reaching the timbers.
Do you cover Sawbridgeworth and Stansted Mountfitchet?
Yes, along with Thorley, Birchanger, Much Hadham and the villages around Bishop's Stortford.
Can you swap a mortar fillet for lead flashing?
Yes. Where the roof meets a wall, a cracked mortar fillet is cut out and replaced with lead flashing chased into the brickwork, which moves with the building instead of cracking.
How quickly can you come out?
Ring 07310 120341 and Kieran answers. Emergency call-outs run 7 days a week, and a leak is made watertight first.
Outstanding roofing company! I honestly can’t recommend KR & Sons Roofing & Guttering Ltd enough. From the first contact, they were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The whole team worked incredibly hard and the standard of their workmanship was brilliant. They were reliable, tidy and kept me informed throughout the job, and the finished roof looks absolutely fantastic. It’s not often you come across a company that takes this much pride in their work. I’m extremely happy with the result and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to family, friends or anyone looking for a top-quality roofing company. Fantastic team, fantastic workmanship and a fantastic service from start to finish!
