Everything your Brownshill Green property needs
The roofing work we carry out on Brownshill Green properties, from leak tracing and tile repairs to complete re-roofing.
New Roof Installations
New roof structures from the deck up — underlay, treated battens, covering, flashings and a mechanically fixed ridge, properly ventilated.
Roof Replacements
When a roof is past repairing: off with the old covering and battens, structure inspected, then rebuilt to current standards throughout.
Roof Repairs & Leak Detection
Leak tracing from inside the loft as well as on the roof, because water rarely enters directly above where it shows.
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
Stack repairs and proper dressed leadwork. Most chimney leaks are the stack itself rather than the roof around it.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Roofline and rainwater goods, renewed together with roof work so the scaffold is paid for once rather than twice.

What we check on a property in Brownshill Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Brownshill Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Structural timber
Where we can see them, we check rafters, purlins and wall plates for rot, woodworm and deflection. A sagging roof line is a structural matter and needs resolving before any new covering goes on.
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.
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.
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles
We count them and note where they sit. A few in one spot is damage; a scatter across the whole roof points at nail fatigue or batten rot, which changes the recommendation completely.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you only work in Brownshill Green, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Brownshill Green usually takes us into Allesley (about 1.1 miles away), Keresley (about 1.3 miles away), Allesley Green (about 1.4 miles away) and Coundon (about 1.5 miles away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
How far is Brownshill Green from your base?
Brownshill Green is roughly 2.9 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.
Can my roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
It depends on why it is failing. Isolated damage on a roof whose battens, underlay and fixings are sound is a repair. Widespread slipping, battens that crumble, underlay that tears at the eaves when touched, and repeated leaks in different places all point at a covering that has reached the end of its life. We will tell you which of those we are looking at, and we would rather lose a repair than sell you one that fails next winter.
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.
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.
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.
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.
