Great Dunmow is the nearest town to our base in Great Easton, so it's right on our doorstep. We cover the town centre, the newer developments to the west and south, and the villages around it including Little Dunmow, Barnston, High Easter, Takeley and Felsted.
Attendance depends on availability. Call during working hours, Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm.
Great Dunmow has a historic town centre with timber-framed and Georgian buildings and clay tile roofs, surrounded by post-war homes and a lot of recent housing development. That means a real mix of roofs: old clay tiles, concrete interlocking tiles, slate, and flat roofs on extensions and garages.
Our residential services include repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, chimney work and roofline, for homeowners right across the area.
Local knowledge
Great Dunmow and the Surrounding Villages
Great Dunmow's High Street and Market Place are lined with historic buildings, many with old clay tiles, dormers and lead flashings. Village homes in the Easters, Barnston and Little Dunmow include thatched and timber-framed cottages alongside 20th-century bungalows and houses.
The town has grown significantly in recent years, with large new estates to the south and west. Newer homes generally have concrete interlocking tiles and dry-fix ridge systems. These are designed to be low-maintenance, but slipped tiles and loose ridge caps still happen, especially in the first big storms.
Because we're based just a few miles away in Great Easton, Great Dunmow is genuinely local for us. Free, no-obligation surveys and quotations are available; attendance depends on availability.

Local roof problems
Common Roof Problems in Great Dunmow
Historic town-centre roofs
Timber-framed and period buildings with old clay tiles need sympathetic repair.
New-build snagging
Newer homes can have poorly bedded ridges or slipped tiles within a few years.
Rural exposure
Open farmland around the town exposes roofs to strong winds.
Ageing extensions
Felt flat roofs on older extensions start leaking as they age.
Looking after a roof in Great Dunmow
Most roof problems in Great Dunmow start small: one slipped tile, a blocked gutter, a crack in the ridge mortar. Checking faults early can help identify the work needed. After any strong wind, take a look from the ground for missing or displaced tiles, and check the loft for daylight or damp patches.
In autumn, gutters and valleys fill with leaves. If water spills over the gutter edge during heavy rain, it's soaking your walls instead of reaching the drain. In winter, standing water in blocked gutters can freeze and split joints.
Flat roofs on extensions and garages deserve a look every year or two. Ponding that lasts days, blisters, or splits around the edges are signs the covering is near the end of its life.
If you spot something, book a free survey. You'll be told honestly whether it needs doing now, can wait, or doesn't need doing at all.
