Roofers across Letchworth Garden City, Norton and Willian

Local homes

Arts and Crafts cottages and houses with steep clay plain tile roofs, dormers and tall chimneys, inter-war and post-war housing on the Grange and Jackmans estates, and modern homes and flat-roofed extensions.

Letchworth's open spaces and the higher ground towards Wilbury Hill let wind sweep across rooftops, and steep tiled roofs with many dormers and valleys have plenty of joints where water can find a way in.

Around Letchworth Garden City

• The world's first garden city, begun in 1903 by First Garden City Limited, founded by Ebenezer Howard and his supporters
• Broadway and Broadway Gardens at the heart of Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin's town plan
• Norton Common and Howard Park, large green spaces within the town
• The Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation, which continues to run the scheme of management for much of the original estate

Planning and listed buildings

Like-for-like roof repairs usually do not need permission, but work to listed buildings, or changes in a conservation area, may need consent from North Hertfordshire District Council. We will flag this before any work starts.
