Most of what we are called to is repairable; where it is not, we will say so and explain why rather than quoting for a repair that will fail.

Everything your Stoke Heath property needs
What we do on roofs around Stoke Heath Primary School and the rest of Stoke Heath — 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
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
Fascias, soffits, bargeboards and gutters — the parts that fail quietly and then rot the timber behind them.

What we check on a property in Stoke Heath
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Stoke Heath, 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.
Structural timber
Where we can see them, we check rafters, purlins and wall plates for rot, woodworm and deflection. A sagging roof line is a structural matter and needs resolving before any new covering goes on.
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.
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.
Solar panels and roof fittings
Panels, aerials, vents and old satellite brackets all penetrate or load the covering. We check the fixings and the weatherproofing around them, and plan how they come off and go back if the roof is being stripped.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Stoke Heath from your base?
Stoke Heath is roughly 1.4 miles north-east of Coventry city centre. That is close enough that a survey can normally be arranged within a few days, and close enough that coming back afterwards is never a problem.
Do you work on properties near Stoke Heath Primary School?
Yes. Stoke Heath Primary School is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Stoke Heath, and we take on roofing jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
Water is coming in around the chimney. What causes that?
Nearly always the chimney itself rather than the roof. The usual suspects are perished flaunching on top, open or eroded pointing letting water into the brickwork, failed stepped flashing and soakers where the stack passes through the roof, or a missing chimney tray. Each needs a different fix, so the first job is working out which it is.
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.
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.
Can you match tiles on an older roof?
Often, yes. Many clay and concrete patterns are still made or available reclaimed, and we would rather source a match than leave an obvious patch. Where an exact match genuinely does not exist, the usual approach is to take sound tiles from a less visible elevation for the front of the house and use the new ones at the back. We will tell you upfront if a repair will be visible.
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.
