At AJ Scutchings and Son we have been repairing and installing roofs across Hertfordshire for more than 35 years. We are a family run business and we know that finding a reliable tradesman is a big worry for most people. Whether you have a damp patch on the ceiling or you need a whole new roof we are here to help.
If you need a roofing company Hertfordshire can trust we make it easy for you. We come out and look at the problem then we tell you exactly what is wrong. We don’t use pushy sales talk. We just give you a fair price and a clear plan to get it fixed after a proper physical survey.
Choosing a local roofing company Hertfordshire means you get someone who knows the different types of buildings in the county. We have worked on everything from Grade II listed churches and timber-framed cottages to modern homes in towns like Watford and St Albans. Every roof is different. We know how to handle traditional clay tiles and slate and modern flat roofing systems like EPDM rubber or GRP.
Because we are local we can get to you quickly if you have an emergency. We also understand the local building regulations. For example if you replace more than 25% of your roof we know you usually need to upgrade your thermal insulation to meet Part L of the building codes. We handle all those technical details so you don’t have to worry.
We do all kinds of roofing work for homes and local businesses. We don’t believe in cutting corners because a cheap fix usually ends up costing you more later on. We use proper materials like breathable membranes and treated timber battens to make sure your home stays watertight for years.
Our team is also trained in specialised leadwork including bossing and welding. This is important for chimneys and roof joins where water is most likely to get in. If your roof is in good shape we will be honest and tell you that. If it does need a repair we explain the steps and show you what needs doing.

There are a lot of people offering roofing services but you need to be careful about who you let onto your roof. Here is what we think is important for a professional job:
The weather in this part of the country can be tough. High winds and heavy rain can easily loosen old tiles or cause “nail sickness” where old fixings fail. You need a roofing company Hertfordshire that knows how to spot these problems before they turn into a major disaster inside your house.
Whether you have a traditional pitched roof or a flat roof on an extension we have the tools and the skills to fix it. We know which materials work best for the local style of housing and we make sure the repair matches the character of your home.
We have helped thousands of people across the county over the years. We don’t do gimmicks and we don’t pressure you into buying things. We just provide good honest roofing work at a fair price.
