Everything your Hillfields property needs
The roofing work we take on across Hillfields (CV1), from a single slipped tile to a complete re-roof.
New Roof Installations
New roofs where there was none before, or where an extension needs one. Specified for the pitch and the covering rather than to a standard detail.
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
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 replacement and repair, best done while the scaffold is already up for the roof.

What we check on a property in Hillfields
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Hillfields, 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.
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.
Flat roof falls and outlets
On any flat area we check the fall, where the water is meant to go, and whether it is getting there. Ponding, blocked outlets and a soft deck underfoot change what the roof needs.
Flashings at every abutment
Chimneys, party walls, dormer cheeks and soil pipes each need a sound flashing. We look for split lead, flashing pulled out of its joint, and the mastic repairs that usually mean the real fix was skipped.
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.

Roofing Services in Hillfields — your questions answered
Still have a question? Our local team is happy to help — no pressure, no jargon.
Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you only work in Hillfields, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Hillfields usually takes us into Bishopsgate Green (about 0.4 miles away), Ball Hill (about 0.7 miles away), Stoke Heath (about 0.8 miles away) and Lower Stoke (about 0.8 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 quickly can you get to Hillfields?
Quickly — it is about 0.6 miles north-east 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
What happens during a full re-roof?
Scaffold goes up, the old covering and battens come off, and the roof structure is inspected properly for the first time in decades. New underlay and treated battens go on, then the covering, new or salvaged. Flashings, valleys and ridges are renewed, the ridge is mechanically fixed, and ventilation is brought up to standard. On a typical house it is a matter of days rather than weeks, weather permitting.
