Everything your Ball Hill property needs
Roofing work across Ball Hill and nearby Lower Stoke, Stoke Heath and Hillfields. Most jobs start as a leak; what it turns into depends on what we find underneath.
New Roof Installations
Complete new roofs on extensions, garages, outbuildings and new build, designed and built to current fixing and ventilation standards.
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
Slate and tile roofing, including sourcing matching or reclaimed units so a repair blends instead of advertising itself.
Chimney Repairs & Leadwork
Chimney work from repointing and new flaunching to full rebuilds, plus capping and ventilating stacks that are no longer used.
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 Ball Hill
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Ball Hill, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Valleys
Valleys carry more water than any other part of the roof. We check for debris, splits in the lead, failed mortar on the tile edges and anything restricting the flow, because a blocked valley backs water up under the tiles.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which areas near Ball Hill do you also cover?
The closest are Lower Stoke (about 0.7 miles away), Stoke Heath (about 0.7 miles away), Hillfields (about 0.7 miles away) and Stoke Aldermoor (about 1 mile 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 Ball Hill. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
Which part of Ball Hill do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Villiers Street Christian Spiritualist Church included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Do you work on commercial and rental property?
Yes. We maintain roofs on commercial units, flats and rental property, and we are used to access restrictions, trading hours and tenants. For landlords and managing agents we can report on condition with photographs and rank the work by what is actually letting water in, so spending can be staged rather than taken all at once.
Why is my roof leaking when it only rains hard?
Wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain does not. It is pushed up under tile laps, past a loose verge, through a gap in flashing, or in at a ridge whose mortar has gone. In light rain the water runs straight off; in a storm it is driven sideways into the same small defect. That is why a leak that only appears in bad weather is still a real defect worth fixing.
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.
The damp patch is in one place — is the hole directly above it?
Usually not. Water comes in at a defect then runs along the top of a batten, down a rafter or across the underlay until it finds somewhere to drop. The stain on the ceiling can be several metres from the entry point. This is why we look at the roof and the loft rather than working from the position of the stain, which is the single most common cause of a repair that does not fix anything.
What is roof flashing and why does it fail?
Flashing is the weatherproofing where the roof meets something else: a chimney, a wall, a valley, a soil pipe. It is usually lead, dressed and tucked into a mortar joint. It fails when the mortar holding it goes, when the lead splits from decades of thermal movement, or when someone has sealed over it with mastic instead of replacing it. Flashings are behind a large share of the leaks we trace.
