Absolutely outstanding job carried out by Darren and his team. This is the second time I’ve used Shelter Essex Roofing on various properties that I have bought. I will be using them any time I need roofing done, their work is absolutely exceptional.

I cannot thank Darren and his team enough for the outstanding workmanship and finish to our new roof. What started out as a small leak turned out to be a total nightmare! Darren quickly advised us of the damage to our entire roof due to foam insulation done prior to us buying the house. They are totally reliable and worked fast to get the job done and the finish is to a very high standard. We are so happy with our lovely new roof and the peace of mind that it will last for many years. If you are looking for a professional clean and tidy company then Darren and Shelter Roofing come highly recommended.

I want to share my experience of having Darren and he’s team completing repairs and replacement work. I can’t recommend Darren enough he’s approach to explaining what he would recommend the reasons and the completion of the work from start to finish was excellent. He is a credit to his industry and he’s passion and skill was beyond my expectations and we have him booked for stage 2

Darren at Essex Roofer carried out work on my conservatory roof in February 2026. I am very satisfied with the work carried out. I can recommend this company as I found them very professional, friendly reliable, happy and they did not let me down when it came to turning up on time. I called him the ‘Singing Roofer’ always happy.

From enquiry to completion of repair to our chimney & roof, Darren and company have been efficient, reliable and good value. Highly recommend!

I saw Darren working on another job and asked if he could fix my leaking gutter and replace a broken tile. I had previously tried to get a number of local roofing companies to come out to fix it but not one ever bothered to turn up ! .He arrived on time, assessed the problem, came back the following day with the parts, fixed the it. Excellent job.

I can’t recommend Shelter Essex Roofing highly enough, and in particular Darren Brown. Unlike many roofers whose default response is simply “replace, replace, replace”, Darren really understands roofing detail – how roofs actually fail, why they fail, and more importantly how failures can be prevented.As a building surveyor, I have a lot of respect for the level of knowledge and practical insight Darren brings. His advice is considered, honest, and focused on the long-term performance of the roof rather than unnecessary works. That approach is refreshing and, frankly, far too rare in the industry.If you’re looking for a roofer who thinks beyond the obvious and genuinely understands building pathology, Shelter Essex Roofing are a standout choice.

A fantastic company. Shelter Essex clearly explained every step and showed pictures of the work throughout the entire roofing process, which gave me great confidence. The quality of the work and communication were both excellent. I would definitely recommend them highly.

Darren got a message from me on a Saturday afternoon, he called me shortly afterwards. He was brilliant, very professional and friendly and offered to come over at short notice when he had finished his current job.He was on time and was so knowledgeable. He used a drone to assess our roof after we had sleepless nights worrying about it. We are on a time limit as currently moving and needed rectification as soon as possible. He took some of our stress and worries away and provided a really reasonable quote. Thank you for all your help! We will be in touch to get the works booked in. Nicola

Darren came round to quote for fixing a wooden soffit and fascia on my house. Unlike others, he actually took the time to figure out what was causing the problem so it could be fixed properly, not just patched up. The job was done quickly and to a really high standard, even with awful weather. Darren also kept me updated along the way and explained what had been done, which was really reassuring. I’d definitely recommend Darren and the team to anyone needing roofing work.

2025-09-25T07:33:35.265Z

Fantastic firm. Shelter Essex roofing provide reassurance throughout the whole processes with photos of work being done and explain the steps. Would highly recommend

Shelter Essex Roofing truly came to the rescue to fix the issue of birds coming down my chimney. They were able to come on short notice and installed both a new chimney pot and cap, as my chimney was looking quite worn. They were not only friendly and efficient, but they also ensured the work was done flawlessly with updates along the way. I am beyond impressed with the quality of their work and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need. Their prices are remarkable for the quality of work they provide.

I was having an extension. This included the installation of both a flat and pitched roof. In short, my original builder did a runner before the job was complete.I had no roof. Darren to the rescue.....I contacted Darren and explained the predicament I was in. He came along to look at the job and left me feeling confident that he would do a good job. He has a good "bedside manner" about him. True to his word, in a couple of weeks, I was water tight. He did a great job. He takes a lot of pride in his workmanship, and so he should, he was very professional. On request by me, I got up on the roof with him and put a few tiles up myself, I liked that......I would highly recommend Darren and his company. Well done, Darren.

Would highly recommend Shelter Essex Roofing, we’ve had a complete new roof, fascia’s, soffits & guttering & a new porch canopy with bespoke leadwork & external cladding to front & rear on both mine & my in-laws house next door. Absolutely thrilled with the result! Their work is of the highest quality, massive thank you to Darren & his team.

2025-09-21T10:59:56.926Z

Really impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness. He took the time to carefully inspect the roof and explain the condition in detail, making everything very clear and easy to understand. The report was clear, well written, and gave me a much better idea of what was going on. Reliable, knowledgeable, and very easy to deal with, I’d happily recommend to anyone needing roof work or an inspection

2025-09-21T10:05:23.097Z

Essex Shelter Roofing carried out work for us on our roof. Throughout the whole process we were kept informed about what was happening. They provided an exceptional professional service and dealt with any concerns promptly and effectively. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They were excellent.
