Everything your Allesley property needs
What we do on roofs around All Saints Parish Church and the rest of Allesley — repairs, replacement, chimneys and roofline.
New Roof Installations
New roof structures from the deck up — underlay, treated battens, covering, flashings and a mechanically fixed ridge, properly ventilated.
Roof Replacements
Complete re-roofing, including the parts nobody sees — the underlay, battens, ventilation and fixings that decide how long the new roof lasts.
Roof Repairs & Leak Detection
Repairs to slipped and cracked tiles, failed flashings, open ridges and anything else letting water in — after we have found the real cause.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Pitched roof coverings in slate and tile, repaired to match where we can and replaced where the fixings have reached their limit.
Chimney Repairs & Leadwork
Repointing, flaunching, rebuilding and the lead flashings and soakers that keep water out where the stack meets the roof.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Fascias, soffits, bargeboards and gutters — the parts that fail quietly and then rot the timber behind them.

What we check on a property in Allesley
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Allesley, and why each one changes the recommendation.
The loft, from the inside
Half the useful evidence is under the roof, not on it. Daylight through the covering, staining on rafters, tide marks on the underlay and damp insulation all tell us where water is getting in and how long it has been happening.
The state of the underlay at the eaves
Old bitumen felt goes brittle and tears exactly where it matters, at the eaves above the gutter. If it crumbles when touched, water running off the tiles is going into the fascia rather than the gutter.
Ridge and hip mortar
We check every ridge and hip for cracked, missing or drummy mortar. It is the most common failure on an otherwise sound roof and the one most likely to become dangerous in a gale.
Previous repairs
Mastic, expanding foam, flashing tape and a tile bedded in cement tell their own story. They mark where the roof has been failing, and whether anyone ever dealt with the cause.
Chimney stack condition
We look at the flaunching on top, the pointing, the brickwork for spalling, and whether a redundant stack is capped and ventilated. A chimney is a wall standing in the weather on all four sides.
Access and scaffold design
Where scaffold can stand, what it has to clear, and whether a neighbour or a public footpath is involved all change the programme and the cost. We settle this at inspection so the quote is the price.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Allesley from your base?
Allesley is roughly 2.5 miles north-west of Coventry city centre. That is close enough that a survey can normally be arranged within a few days, and close enough that coming back afterwards is never a problem.
Which areas near Allesley do you also cover?
The closest are Allesley Green (about 0.5 miles away), Mount Nod (about 0.9 miles away), Brownshill Green (about 1.1 miles away) and Eastern Green (about 1.2 miles away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Allesley. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
Water is coming in around the chimney. What causes that?
Nearly always the chimney itself rather than the roof. The usual suspects are perished flaunching on top, open or eroded pointing letting water into the brickwork, failed stepped flashing and soakers where the stack passes through the roof, or a missing chimney tray. Each needs a different fix, so the first job is working out which it is.
What is dry fix, and why does everyone mention it now?
Dry fix means ridge, hip and verge tiles held by mechanical fixings and a weatherproof system instead of being bedded in mortar alone. Mortar shrinks, cracks and eventually lets go, which is why loose ridge tiles are such a common call-out. Since the 2014 revision of BS 5534 mortar on its own is no longer an acceptable fixing for new work, so a re-roof should include a mechanically fixed ridge.
Why does my flat roof pond after rain?
Because it has lost its fall, or never had enough. A flat roof is not flat: it should be laid to a fall so water runs to an outlet. Decks deflect over time and joists sag, so water sits. Standing water is not automatically a leak, but it accelerates ageing, grows algae and finds any weakness. Re-covering without correcting the fall repeats the problem.
Can you match tiles on an older roof?
Often, yes. Many clay and concrete patterns are still made or available reclaimed, and we would rather source a match than leave an obvious patch. Where an exact match genuinely does not exist, the usual approach is to take sound tiles from a less visible elevation for the front of the house and use the new ones at the back. We will tell you upfront if a repair will be visible.
Why is my loft damp when the roof is not leaking?
Usually condensation rather than a leak. Warm moist air from the house rises into a cold loft, meets cold surfaces and condenses, often worst on the underside of the underlay. The fix is ventilation and sealing the gaps letting air up there, not more roofing. Telling the two apart matters: condensation is widespread and seasonal, a leak is localised and follows rain.
