Everything your Wyken property needs
The roofing work we carry out on Wyken properties, from leak tracing and tile repairs to complete re-roofing.
New Roof Installations
Complete new roofs on extensions, garages, outbuildings and new build, designed and built to current fixing and ventilation standards.
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
Tracing leaks to their actual source and fixing them properly, rather than sealing the nearest thing to the damp patch.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Natural slate, clay and concrete tile work — repairs, matching, and full coverings laid to suit the pitch.
Chimney Repairs & Leadwork
Chimney work from repointing and new flaunching to full rebuilds, plus capping and ventilating stacks that are no longer used.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Roofline replacement and repair, best done while the scaffold is already up for the roof.

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

Speak to us today0786 5778332What else is near Wyken that you cover?
Wyken sits next to Walsgrave (about 1 mile away), Henley Green (about 1 mile away), Stoke Heath (about 1.1 miles away) and Ball Hill (about 1.2 miles away). We work across the whole of that cluster, which is part of why we can usually get to a survey quickly — we are often already nearby.
How quickly can you get to Wyken?
Quickly — it is about 2.3 miles east of the city centre. Short distances are the main reason we can offer same-week surveys and come back promptly if something needs a second look.
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.
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.
Do you work on commercial and rental property?
Yes. We maintain roofs on commercial units, flats and rental property, and we are used to access restrictions, trading hours and tenants. For landlords and managing agents we can report on condition with photographs and rank the work by what is actually letting water in, so spending can be staged rather than taken all at once.
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.
How long should a roof last?
Natural slate can run 80 to 100 years or more. Clay tiles commonly reach 60 or beyond. Concrete interlocking tiles are usually good for 40 to 60. Fibre cement slates sit lower, around 30 to 50. But the covering rarely fails first — nails, battens, underlay, ridges and flashings all age faster, which is why a sound-looking roof can still need work.
