Trusted roofers in Hitchin
Dexters Build Ltd is a family-run roofing and building company serving Hitchin and the wider North Hertfordshire area. With more than ten years' experience, we work on roofs of every age and type, from the period properties and listed buildings around the Old Town and Market Place to the terraced streets and modern homes on the edges of the town. All of our work is backed by fully guaranteed workmanship, and every quote is free and given with no obligation.
Hitchin is a historic market town with a great deal of older housing, including many period and listed buildings. Roofs on these properties often feature traditional clay tiles, natural slate, lead detailing and original chimneys that need to be repaired and replaced carefully. We take the time to match materials and work in keeping with the age of the building, so the results protect both the property and its appearance.
