Everything your Stivichall property needs
What we do on roofs around West Orchard United Reformed Church and the rest of Stivichall — repairs, replacement, chimneys and roofline.
New Roof Installations
New roof structures from the deck up — underlay, treated battens, covering, flashings and a mechanically fixed ridge, properly ventilated.
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
Leak tracing from inside the loft as well as on the roof, because water rarely enters directly above where it shows.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Slate and tile roofing, including sourcing matching or reclaimed units so a repair blends instead of advertising itself.
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
Fascias, soffits, bargeboards and gutters — the parts that fail quietly and then rot the timber behind them.

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

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near West Orchard United Reformed Church?
Yes. West Orchard United Reformed Church is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Stivichall, and we take on roofing jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
Which areas near Stivichall do you also cover?
The closest are Finham (about 0.4 miles away), Green Lane (about 0.7 miles away), Cheylesmore (about 0.8 miles away) and Baginton (about 1.1 miles away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Stivichall. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
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.
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.
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 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.
What makes tiles slip?
Most often nail fatigue. The nails holding the tiles corrode over decades until they let go, and the tile slides. Rotten battens do the same thing. One slipped tile is a repair; a scatter of them across the whole roof usually means the fixings have reached the end of their life and patching will simply move the problem along.
