Roofers Covering Great Baddow
Great Baddow is a suburban village and parish about 1.5 miles south-east of Chelmsford city centre, and it now forms part of the city's built-up area. It is in the CM2 postcode district, and the parish had 14,951 residents at the 2021 census.
That makes it a big place to call a village, and close to home for us. We are based in Chelmsford, not in Great Baddow, and the home visit and quote are free.

Great Baddow's Houses and What They Mean for a Roof
Great Baddow grew in stages. Early in the 20th century, ribbon development stretched the village out towards Chelmsford and Galleywood. In the 1950s the Rothmans Estate was built to house workers at Marconi's and the English Electric Valve Company, so parts of the village are post-war housing.
The result is a place where roofs come in very different ages. A 1950s estate house, an older property on one of the roads that grew out towards the city, and a listed building in the old centre each need looking at on their own terms.
Suburban houses also tend to pick up flat-roofed extensions and garages over the decades, and those coverings wear out on their own timetable. We look at the roof you actually have rather than assuming.
The Village Centre: Conservation Area and Listed Buildings
The centre of Great Baddow is a conservation area and contains over 30 listed buildings.
If your home is listed or inside the conservation area, check with Chelmsford City Council before changing roof materials. We are happy to come out, look at the roof and tell you what we find, and the planning side stays with the council.
Roof Repairs, Slating and Tiling
Slipped tiles, cracked slates, loose ridges and damp patches by the chimney are the usual reasons a pitched roof needs us. We find out why it failed before we price it. See how we approach repair jobs and our tile and slate work.
Flat Roofs on Extensions and Garages
Flat roofing is what we specialise in. We fit GRP fibreglass, which cures into one continuous skin with no joints, and high-performance felt, torch-applied in layers. On the visit we check the falls, the outlets and the deck before recommending either. Read more about our flat roofing specialism.
Leaks, Storm Damage and Emergencies
If water is getting in, call or WhatsApp 07540 235332. Our page on a roofing emergency explains the first steps, and the one on leaking roofs covers how we track a leak back to its cause.
Fascias, Soffits, Guttering and Carpentry
Fascias, soffits and gutters fail quietly and send water down the wall. We replace and repair fascias, soffits and gutters, and our carpenters deal with rotten rafter feet, joists and decking in the same job rather than as a second booking.
How the Free Home Visit Works
Ring, WhatsApp or use the form, and describe what the roof is doing. We book a time that suits you and come out to look at it properly.
You get an honest assessment and a transparent written quotation, both free. Nothing starts until you have agreed the price.

Great Baddow Roofing FAQs
Do you cover Great Baddow?
Yes. Great Baddow is part of Chelmsford's built-up area, about a mile and a half from the city centre, so it sits inside our home patch and well within our 50-mile radius.
Do you replace garage flat roofs?
Yes. Flat roofing is our specialism, in GRP fibreglass and high-performance felt. We look at the deck and the falls on a free home visit, then recommend the system that suits the garage.
What roofing work do you do?
Everything on the main site: GRP and felt flat roofing, repairs, slating and tiling, leadwork, roofline and carpentry.
My house is listed or in the village-centre conservation area. Can you still help?
Yes, we can come and look at the roof on a free home visit. Before any roof materials change, check with Chelmsford City Council, because the centre of Great Baddow is a conservation area with over 30 listed buildings.
Is the home visit free?
Yes, and so is the written quote. There is no obligation to go ahead.
