Roofing Services in Solihull
Roof repairs, new roofs and roof replacement for homeowners in Solihull — from a single slipped tile to a complete re-roof.
Elgar Roof works across the whole borough of Solihull — Shirley, Olton and Elmdon, the town centre, and out through Knowle, Dorridge and Balsall Common. From a slipped tile to a complete re-roof, every job starts with an inspection and ends with a roof that's been fixed properly, not patched hopefully.
Roofing in Solihull
Solihull grew mostly between the wars and after them, which means a borough full of hipped clay and concrete tiled roofs now well into middle age. Interwar clay tiles are handsome and often still serviceable, but their nibs and fixings weaken with age and individual tiles slip long before the roof as a whole is finished. The concrete tiles of the post-war expansion are a different story: many are now at or past their design life, with surfaces eroding and edges spalling — the point where an honest assessment matters more than another patch. The area's larger plots also mean plenty of garages, dormers and extensions with flat roofs that were felted decades ago and are due something better, such as EPDM rubber.
What we do here
Repairs and leak-finding, re-roofs and new roofs, chimney repairs, repointing and leadwork, and fascias, soffits, guttering and dry verge. If you're seeing a symptom rather than a cause — a damp patch, a stain, moss — start from our roofing problems pages, which work from what you can actually see.
Free quotations
Photographs plus a postcode through the contact page gets you a free quotation or, where the problem can't be diagnosed from the ground, a straight recommendation to inspect first — and we'll tell you which it is.
