Pitched and flat roofing in Ansty and neighbouring Walsgrave, Henley Green and Bell Green. Leak tracing, tile and slate repair, ridge and verge renewal, chimney leadwork, guttering, and full re-roofs. Most of what we are called to is repairable; where it is not, we will say so and explain why rather than quoting for a repair that will fail.

Everything your Ansty property needs
What we cover on roofs in Ansty, 4.6 miles north-east of the city centre — emergency repairs through to full replacement.
New Roof Installations
New roofs where there was none before, or where an extension needs one. Specified for the pitch and the covering rather than to a standard detail.
Roof Replacements
Full strip and re-roof with new underlay, battens, flashings and dry-fixed ridges, in your existing covering or a new one.
Roof Repairs & Leak Detection
Tracing leaks to their actual source and fixing them properly, rather than sealing the nearest thing to the damp patch.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Natural slate, clay and concrete tile work — repairs, matching, and full coverings laid to suit the pitch.
Chimney Repairs & Leadwork
Stack repairs and proper dressed leadwork. Most chimney leaks are the stack itself rather than the roof around it.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Roofline replacement and repair, best done while the scaffold is already up for the roof.

What we check on a property in Ansty
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Ansty, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Gutters, falls and downpipes
We check that gutters run to the outlet, that joints are not weeping and that downpipes discharge properly. Overflowing gutters soak fascias and walls, and the damage usually shows up indoors before anyone looks up.
Lead quality and code
Lead that is too thin for its span splits from thermal movement, and over-long pieces do the same. We check the code and the lengths used, because an undersized flashing fails again whatever else is done.
Flat roof falls and outlets
On any flat area we check the fall, where the water is meant to go, and whether it is getting there. Ponding, blocked outlets and a soft deck underfoot change what the roof needs.
How the roof meets the neighbour
On terraces and semis the party line matters. We check the flashing or soaker detail at the boundary and whether work needs coordinating next door, which is better known before the scaffold goes up than after.
Verges and bargeboards
The gable edge takes the wind first. Loose verge mortar, exposed batten ends and soft bargeboards all let weather in at the very point where it is being driven hardest.
Loft ventilation
A roof needs to breathe. We check for eaves and ridge ventilation and for insulation stuffed into the eaves blocking the airflow, because that is what turns an ordinary loft into a condensation problem.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around St James?
St James is in the part of Ansty we cover, and roofing work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Are you actually local to Ansty?
Yes. Ansty is around 4.6 miles north-east of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
What happens during a full re-roof?
Scaffold goes up, the old covering and battens come off, and the roof structure is inspected properly for the first time in decades. New underlay and treated battens go on, then the covering, new or salvaged. Flashings, valleys and ridges are renewed, the ridge is mechanically fixed, and ventilation is brought up to standard. On a typical house it is a matter of days rather than weeks, weather permitting.
Do I need planning permission for roof work?
Repairs and like-for-like re-roofing need no permission. It changes if you alter the shape or height, add a dormer, or materially change the appearance — and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas have their own rules that can cover even a change of tile. Worth checking before the order goes in rather than after.
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.
What makes tiles slip?
Most often nail fatigue. The nails holding the tiles corrode over decades until they let go, and the tile slides. Rotten battens do the same thing. One slipped tile is a repair; a scatter of them across the whole roof usually means the fixings have reached the end of their life and patching will simply move the problem along.
