Roofing Services in Kettering

Kettering's roofs
Like its neighbours, Kettering grew on the boot and shoe trade, and its legacy is street after street of red-brick and ironstone terraces under Welsh slate. A century on, those roofs fail the way old slate roofs everywhere do — nail by nail rather than slate by slate — and the repair-versus-re-roof question comes down to whether the slips are occasional or chronic. The villages add ironstone cottages and older clay-tiled roofs, where sympathetic materials matter, and the town's newer estates bring modern interlocking tile roofs whose problems are usually small, wind-related and worth fixing quickly.
What we do locally
Roof repairs and leak tracing, re-roofing and new roofs, flat roofs for extensions and garages, chimney repointing, flaunching and lead flashing, and fascias, soffits, guttering and dry verge. If you're starting from a symptom — a damp patch after heavy rain, moss, a stain on a bedroom ceiling — the roofing problems pages work from what you can see.
