What Roofing Services Do We Offer?
At JBW Construction, we deliver the full spectrum of roofing services — from minor repairs and ridge tile re-pointing to complete strip-and-reroof projects. As general builders rather than roofing-only specialists, we also handle the structural work that often accompanies roofing projects: timber repairs, loft insulation, fascias and soffits, and chimney rebuilding.
We work with all roofing materials: concrete and clay tiles, natural slate, stone slate for Peak District properties, lead flashings and valleys, EPDM and GRP flat roofing systems, and zinc standing seam for contemporary projects.
Our integrated approach means that when we discover rotten timbers during a re-roof, or a chimney stack needs rebuilding, we handle it immediately within the same project — no waiting for another contractor.
Why Roofing Problems Escalate Quickly
A small roof leak left unattended causes disproportionate damage. Water penetrates the roof covering, saturates insulation (destroying its thermal value), rots timber rafters and purlins, damages ceiling plaster, and creates conditions for mould growth. Within months, a £200 repair becomes a £5,000+ problem.
Flat roofs on 1960s-70s Chesterfield properties are a particular concern. Original felt roofing has a 10-15 year lifespan, yet many are 40+ years old. These roofs fail gradually, with water tracking across the roof space and appearing far from the actual leak point, making diagnosis difficult without proper inspection.
Rogue roofers are unfortunately common. Cold-callers offering cheap repairs often apply temporary patches, use inadequate materials, or cause additional damage. Our FMB accreditation, £10M insurance, and written guarantees provide the protection these operators cannot.

Roofing Services in Detail
Complete Re-Roofs
A full re-roof involves stripping the existing covering, inspecting and repairing all timbers, installing new breathable membrane underlayment, and fitting new tiles or slates with proper fixings. We upgrade insulation, replace deteriorated fascias and soffits, and install new guttering. The result is a roof that will protect your home for 50+ years.
Flat Roof Replacements
We replace failing felt flat roofs with modern EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems. EPDM is a single-piece membrane with no joints — eliminating the main failure point of felt roofs. GRP provides a rigid, seamless surface ideal for walked-on areas. Both systems carry 20+ year material warranties.
Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds
Chimneys in Chesterfield suffer from frost damage, failed pointing, cracked flaunching, and deteriorated lead flashings. We rebuild chimney stacks, re-point in appropriate mortar, replace flaunching, and install new lead flashings. For redundant chimneys, we can remove them safely or cap and ventilate them.
Leadwork
Traditional lead flashings, valleys, and flat roof coverings require specialist skills. We install Code 4 and Code 5 lead sheet to Lead Sheet Association standards, with proper joints, clips, and expansion allowances. Lead valleys and flashings are essential where roofs meet walls and at chimney abutments.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
We replace deteriorated timber fascias and soffits with UPVC or maintain timber where heritage requirements dictate. Guttering is replaced in UPVC, aluminium, or cast iron depending on your property. Proper gutter sizing and fall prevents overflow and protects walls from water damage.
