Working in Lower Eastern Green
Lower Eastern Green is the southern side of Eastern Green, in the CV5 postcode district on the western edge of the city near Mount Nod and Allesley Green.
As with the rest of Eastern Green, much of the housing is post-war onwards, which puts flat roofs, fascias and guttering, and driveway drainage at the top of the list of what we get called out to.
If your address sits between the two, it makes no difference to us: same team, same pricing.

Full strip and re-roof with new underlay, battens, flashings and dry-fixed ridges, in your existing covering or a new one.

What we check on a property in Lower Eastern Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Lower Eastern Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which part of Lower Eastern Green do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Park Hill Primary School included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Is Lower Eastern Green in your coverage?
It is. Lower Eastern Green sits in the CV5 district and we work there regularly. Give us the full postcode when you call and we can be specific about survey dates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
