Everything your Keresley property needs
What we cover on roofs in Keresley, 3.1 miles north 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
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 Keresley
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Keresley, 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.
Previous repairs
Mastic, expanding foam, flashing tape and a tile bedded in cement tell their own story. They mark where the roof has been failing, and whether anyone ever dealt with the cause.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Keresley United Reformed Church?
Yes. Keresley United Reformed Church is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Keresley, and we take on roofing jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
Do you only work in Keresley, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Keresley usually takes us into Holbrooks (about 1 mile away), Brownshill Green (about 1.3 miles away), Radford (about 1.5 miles away) and Coundon (about 1.8 miles away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
Why is my loft damp when the roof is not leaking?
Usually condensation rather than a leak. Warm moist air from the house rises into a cold loft, meets cold surfaces and condenses, often worst on the underside of the underlay. The fix is ventilation and sealing the gaps letting air up there, not more roofing. Telling the two apart matters: condensation is widespread and seasonal, a leak is localised and follows rain.
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.
Is moss on the roof a problem?
It is not harmless. Moss holds water against the tiles, which matters in frost, and it breaks off and blocks gutters and valleys. It should be removed carefully — scraped and brushed, not blasted. A pressure washer strips the surface off concrete tiles, drives water under the laps and takes years off the roof. We have replaced tiles that were fine until they were jet-washed.
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.
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.
