Everything your Holbrooks property needs
What we cover on roofs in Holbrooks, 2.5 miles north of the city centre — emergency repairs through to full replacement.
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
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
Repointing, flaunching, rebuilding and the lead flashings and soakers that keep water out where the stack meets the roof.
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 Holbrooks
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Holbrooks, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Simple, transparent, no pressure

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Morrisons?
Morrisons is in the part of Holbrooks we cover, and roofing work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Do you only work in Holbrooks, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Holbrooks usually takes us into Keresley (about 1 mile away), Foleshill (about 1 mile away), Radford (about 1.1 miles away) and Longford (about 1.1 miles away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
