About Essex Property Services
Our Story – 40+ Years Serving Essex Homeowners
Essex Property Services (trading name of RJH Roofing & Building LTD) is a genuine family‑run business that has been providing high‑quality roofing and property maintenance to homes across Southend‑on‑Sea, Leigh‑on‑Sea, Westcliff‑on‑Sea, Basildon, Chelmsford and the surrounding Essex areas for more than four decades. Founded on traditional values of honesty, hard work and outstanding customer service, we’ve grown almost entirely through word‑of‑mouth and repeat custom.
What We Do
From emergency roof repairs and complete new roof installations to flat roofing (including Firestone EPDM systems), fascias, soffits, guttering, chimney repairs, carpentry, fencing and general building work – we offer a comprehensive range of property maintenance services tailored to the needs of local homeowners. No project is too small; we take on many jobs that larger companies often turn down, and we always deliver with the same care and precision.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
Our customers stay with us because we put them at the heart of everything we do. Every job, whether a minor gutter clearance or a full roof replacement, is personally overseen by the business owner, Simon. We provide clear, transparent quotes with no hidden extras, arrive when we say we will, and treat your home with the respect it deserves. This approach has earned us a 10/10 average on Checkatrade from over 200 independent reviews – and we’re incredibly proud of that.
