About us

A Family-Run Roofing Team You Can Trust

Father and son, James and Jim, with a small team we trust, serving Colchester and Essex from our base in Tiptree.

Our approach

We built Taylor Roofing on simple things: do honest work, keep people informed, and leave every site cleaner than we found it. It is why so much of our work comes by word of mouth.

Our story

Roofing and Driveways, the Proper Way

Taylor Roofing is a family business, run by father and son James and Jim alongside a small team of workers we trust. Between us we cover the full range of roofing, new roofs, flat roofs, repairs and chimneys, as well as driveways and paving.

We are not the biggest firm in Essex and we do not want to be. Staying small is what lets us turn up when we say we will, do the job ourselves, and answer the phone when you call.

Whether it is a single slipped tile or a full roof replacement, we treat your home with the same care and give you the same honest advice we would want ourselves.

What you can expect

The Way We Like to Work

Honest advice

We tell you straight whether a repair will see you right or whether a replacement is the better value. No scare tactics, no upselling.

Everything in writing

You get a clear written quote before any work starts, setting out the work, the materials and the price, with nothing added later without asking.

Our own team

The people who quote your job are the people who turn up to do it. We do not pass your work to subcontractors you have never met.

A tidy site

We protect the areas we work around and clear the site completely at the end. Customers mention it in review after review.

Genuinely local

We work out of Colt Farm in Tiptree and cover Colchester and the surrounding Essex towns. A local team, not a distant call centre.

Work we stand by

Much of what we do comes from neighbours of people we have worked for. That word-of-mouth is something we protect on every job.
