Roofing Services in Corby
Roof repairs, new roofs and roof replacement for homeowners in Corby — from a single slipped tile to a complete re-roof.
Elgar Roof covers Corby — the steel-era estates that built the town, the older village core around St John's, and the huge modern developments at Priors Hall Park, Little Stanion and beyond. Repairs, replacements, flat roofs, chimneys and roofline.
Two towns, two kinds of roof
Corby is really two housing stocks side by side. The estates built for the steelworks from the 1930s to the 1950s carry roofs now sixty to ninety years old — early concrete tiles and clay tiles over felt that has long since become brittle, with mortar ridges and verges weathered soft. These roofs reward honest inspection: some have years left with modest repairs, others are spending their owners' money on patches that a re-roof would end. The new town-within-a-town is the opposite case — young roofs where the issues are construction-stage defects and storm-lifted tiles, small jobs that matter because leaks in a new home find expensive things to ruin.
What we do in Corby
Roof repairs and leak-finding, re-roofing where the arithmetic supports it, flat roofing, chimneys and leadwork, and fascias, soffits and guttering — including replacing the timber rooflines of the older estates in low-maintenance uPVC.
