Everything your Finham property needs
What we do on roofs around Finham Primary School and the rest of Finham — repairs, replacement, chimneys and roofline.
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
Repairs to slipped and cracked tiles, failed flashings, open ridges and anything else letting water in — after we have found the real cause.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Natural slate, clay and concrete tile work — repairs, matching, and full coverings laid to suit the pitch.
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 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 Finham
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Finham, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332What else is near Finham that you cover?
Finham sits next to Stivichall (about 0.4 miles away), Green Lane (about 0.7 miles away), Baginton (about 1 mile away) and Cheylesmore (about 1.2 miles 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 Finham?
Quickly — it is about 2.1 miles south 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.
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 does my flat roof pond after rain?
Because it has lost its fall, or never had enough. A flat roof is not flat: it should be laid to a fall so water runs to an outlet. Decks deflect over time and joists sag, so water sits. Standing water is not automatically a leak, but it accelerates ageing, grows algae and finds any weakness. Re-covering without correcting the fall repeats the problem.
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.
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.
