Everything your Canley property needs
What we cover on roofs in Canley, 2.7 miles west of the city centre — emergency repairs through to full replacement.
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
Leak tracing from inside the loft as well as on the roof, because water rarely enters directly above where it shows.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Slate and tile roofing, including sourcing matching or reclaimed units so a repair blends instead of advertising itself.
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 Canley
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Canley, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
Tile pattern and availability
We identify the covering and check whether matching tiles are still obtainable, new or reclaimed. That answers early on whether a repair can be made invisible or will always show.
Solar panels and roof fittings
Panels, aerials, vents and old satellite brackets all penetrate or load the covering. We check the fixings and the weatherproofing around them, and plan how they come off and go back if the roof is being stripped.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Canley from your base?
Canley is roughly 2.7 miles 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.
Do you only work in Canley, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Canley usually takes us into Tile Hill (about 0.7 miles away), Westwood Heath (about 0.8 miles away), Mount Nod (about 1.2 miles away) and Eastern Green (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.
EPDM, GRP or felt — which flat roof is best?
EPDM is a single rubber membrane with very few joints, flexible in cold weather and typically good for 25 to 30 years or more. GRP is a fibreglass laminate cured in place, giving a hard seamless finish with neat detailing, on a similar lifespan, though it is less forgiving of movement. Felt is the cheapest and the shortest-lived. The deck condition and how much movement it sees usually decide it.
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 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.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Once a year is sensible for most houses, plus a look after any serious storm. An inspection is mostly about the things that fail before the tiles do: ridge and verge mortar, flashings, valleys, the state of the gutters and any slipped or cracked tiles. Catching those is the difference between pointing work and a ceiling repair.
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.
