Everything your Bishopsgate Green property needs
Roofing work across Bishopsgate Green and nearby Hillfields, Radford and Stoke Heath. 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
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
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 Bishopsgate Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Bishopsgate Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Insulation depth and position
While we are in the loft we note the insulation. It affects condensation risk and ventilation requirements, and if the roof is coming off it is the obvious moment to put it right.
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.
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.
Moss and organic growth
We note how much there is and where. Heavy moss means water is being held against the tiles and gutters are probably taking the debris, and it also tends to mark the shaded, slowest-drying part of the roof.
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.
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.

Bishopsgate Green sits next to Hillfields (about 0.4 miles away), Radford (about 0.9 miles away), Stoke Heath (about 1 mile away) and Edgwick (about 1 mile away). We work across the whole of that cluster, which is part of why we can usually get to a survey quickly — we are often already nearby.
How quickly can you get to Bishopsgate Green?
Quickly — it is about 0.7 miles north of the city centre. Short distances are the main reason we can offer same-week surveys and come back promptly if something needs a second look.
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.
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.
Should the gutters be done at the same time as the roof?
Almost always, yes. The scaffold is already up, which is a large part of the cost of roofline work, and fascias and gutters are far easier to replace with the bottom course of tiles off. Fitting new guttering to a rotten fascia, or leaving failing roofline under a brand new roof, is false economy on both sides.
Why does roof work need scaffolding?
Because working at height safely requires it, and because the quality of the work depends on being able to stand properly and move materials. Ladder work is for inspection and the smallest repairs. Scaffold is a real part of the cost on any roofing job, which is the practical argument for doing the roof, the chimney and the roofline in one visit rather than three.
My ridge tiles look loose. Is that urgent?
Treat it as urgent. A ridge tile that has lost its mortar bed is heavy, high up and has nothing holding it down in a gale. Beyond the obvious danger, an open ridge line lets water straight into the roof space along its whole length. Re-bedding and mechanically fixing a ridge is a relatively contained job compared with what a displaced one can cost.
