Roofing Coverage & Site Visits Across Leicester
Because our yard and office are based right at Westcotes Drive (LE3 1QU), Leicester is our core working area. We don't charge call-out fees for inspections across the city, and we can usually get a ladder on your roof to check a leak or quote a repair within 24 to 48 hours of your call.
How We Handle Roof Inspections & Access in Leicester
Every street in Leicester has its own quirks when it comes to parking vans, pitching ladders, and putting up scaffolding. Because we work here daily, we plan the logistics before we turn up with materials.
Checking the Roof & Taking Photos
When you ring us to look at a damp patch or a slipped tile, we don't just squint from the pavement. We get up on the ladders (or use a pole camera where access is tight) and take clear photos of the problem—whether it's cracked mortar in a valley, perished felt under the bottom row of tiles, or split lead flashing around the chimney. You see exactly what we see before deciding on any work.
Tight Streets, Permits & Scaffolding
On narrower inner-city streets around Narborough Road, Highfields, or Clarendon Park, houses often open straight onto the pavement with resident permit parking. For quick repairs, we can usually work safely off roof ladders and a tower. If a full re-roof or tall chimney rebuild needs pavement scaffolding, we organise the highway licence directly with the council so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
Keeping Drives & Shared Entries Clear
Out in suburbs like Braunstone, Hamilton, Knighton, and Aylestone, we're often working around block-paved driveways, conservatories, or shared side entries. We lay heavy tarpaulins and timber boards to protect your drive, use enclosed rubbish chutes or grab lorries rather than leaving an overflowing skip on your front garden for weeks, and sweep the gutters and patio down before we sign off.
What We Regularly Work On Around Leicester
Because our depot is five minutes from the city centre, we keep a stock of the common slates, plain clay tiles, and concrete profiles used across local estates. That means we aren't waiting days for a merchant delivery just to fix a storm-damaged verge or leaking valley.
- ✓ Nail sickness on older Welsh slate roofs: Where original iron nails have rusted through, causing slates to slide into the gutter. We can strip, felt with breathable membrane, re-batten, and re-lay sound slates.
- ✓ Rear kitchen & garage flat roofs: Replacing blistered, ponding mineral felt on extensions and dormers with new OSB3 decking and torch-on felt or modern single-ply membranes.
- ✓ Shared chimney stacks & parapet walls: Grinding out perished mortar joints, re-bedding loose chimney pots, and fitting new Code 4 lead step and cover flashing.
- ✓ Concrete tile & dry ridge upgrades: Swapping out cracked mortar along ridges and gable verges for mechanically fixed dry ridge and dry verge systems that won't blow off in winter gales.
