Roofs by Property Type
Every roof we work on sits on a particular kind of house, and the house usually predicts the roof: what it's covered in, how it was built, what tends to fail and what the right fix looks like. These pages work from the property down — find your home below, and you'll find its roof.
Slate roofs into their second century — repaired with matching materials and a proper understanding of how terraces work.
Hipped clay-tile roofs, mortar ridges and bay windows — ninety years old and very fixable.
The 1950s–70s estates are reaching re-roofing age together — get the honest verdict on yours.
Young roofs with small faults — fixed properly before they find your plasterwork.
More roof per house than anything else we work on — and the easiest roofs to look after well.
Old roofs kept old — sympathetic materials, conservation rules respected, and honesty about specialist work.
Communal roofs, converted houses and top-floor leaks — with the responsibility question untangled first.
Why start from the property?
Two leaking roofs can need completely different answers depending on what they're on. A slipped slate on a Victorian terrace is a fixings story; a slipped tile on a five-year-old estate house is usually an installation story; damp in the loft of a 1930s semi often isn't the covering at all. Reading the building first is how we get the diagnosis right — and it's why our surveys begin with the house, not the symptom.
The same pattern, town after town
Housing stock repeats across our patch. The terraces of Leicester and North London share more with each other than with the semi next door; Milton Keynes, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage are all working through the same new-town re-roofing years. Each property page links the areas we cover where that type of home dominates, so you can see both the building and the local picture together.
If you're not sure what you have
It doesn't matter — the property pages are a way in, not a test. Photographs of the house and the problem sent via the contact page tell us everything these pages would, and the quotation is free either way.
