Roofers Covering Earl Shilton & Surrounding Villages
Based just up the A47 in Leicester, Prime roofing regularly works on homes and businesses across Earl Shilton. Because we are only a 20-minute drive away, we can get out quickly to check a leak after heavy weather, quote for a full roof strip and re-tile, or sort out failing guttering and brickwork.
How We Work in Earl Shilton
Housing across Earl Shilton varies quite a bit depending on which end of town you are in. Closer to Wood Street and Station Road, we often deal with older slate and plain clay tile roofs where the original timber battens and underfelt have perished, or where chimney stacks need repointing and fresh lead flashings. On the post-war estates and bungalows off Heath Lane and Alexander Avenue, we see far more interlocking concrete tiles with crumbling mortar ridges and worn garage or extension flat roofs.
When you ring us to look at a roof in Earl Shilton, we do not just glance up from the pavement and guess a price. We bring ladders, get up to the eaves or onto the roof safely, and take clear photos on our phones of any cracked tiles, split felt, or loose leadwork. We show you those photos on the driveway so you can see the actual state of the roof for yourself before deciding what to do.
Access, Scaffolding & Keeping Your Property Tidy
- 1 Tight parking & terraced streets: For properties right on the road with no front garden, we organise scaffolding safely and time material deliveries so we aren't blocking neighbours in.
- 2 Driveway & conservatory protection: If we need a skip for a full roof strip, we put timber boards down to protect block paving or tarmac, and sheet over below-eaves conservatories or flat roofs.
- 3 Weatherproofing & daily clear-up: We never strip off more roof than we can felt and batten in a single day, and we sweep the gutters, paths, and driveway for old nails before we pack up.
What a Quote Visit Looks Like
Tell us roughly what the problem is—whether it's a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling, tiles in the gutter, or an ageing roof you want replaced. We'll book a time that suits you.
We check the surrounding tiles, valleys, ridge mortar, and flashings—not just the obvious leak spot—and take photos so you have proof of what needs sorting.
If a simple repair will get another five or ten years out of the roof, we'll quote for the repair. If the felt and battens are rotten across the whole slope, we'll explain why and price up a proper replacement.

Common Questions About Visits to Earl Shilton
Do you charge a call-out fee to come to Earl Shilton?
No. Inspections and written quotes are free of charge. Because our base at LE3 1QU is right by the A47 heading out towards Earl Shilton, we are already in the area most weeks.
Can you do small repairs, or do you only take on full new roofs?
We are happy to take on small jobs. Replacing a few broken tiles, sorting out a leaking valley gutter, or re-securing loose flashing around a chimney takes far less time and money when caught early.
What about Building Regulations if we need a full roof replacement?
If you are replacing more than half of the roof covering, Building Control requires the loft insulation and roof ventilation to be brought up to current standards. We explain this clearly when quoting so there are no surprises if you ever come to sell the house.
