Roofing Coverage & Site Visits in Shepshed
Prime roofing takes on regular domestic and commercial roofing work across Shepshed. Operating from our base in Leicester, our vans are roughly 20 to 25 minutes away up the M1 to Junction 23, meaning we can get out to inspect leaks, slipped tiles, or full roof replacements without long waiting lists.
How We Work in Shepshed
Because Shepshed sits right at the northern edge of Charnwood Forest, roofs here take a fair bit of open wind and driving rain coming across the high ground. We see everything from perishing mortar on older brick chimneys near the town centre to loose interlocking concrete tiles and failing garage felt on newer housing estates around Anson Road and Oakley Road.
When you ring us to look at a roof in Shepshed, we don't send a salesperson with a clipboard. An experienced roofer comes out with ladders to inspect the problem properly. We take clear photos of the broken tiles, split lead flashing, or rotted timber battens while we are up there so you can see exactly what is going on from the ground before deciding on any work.
Access & Scaffolding
Tighter streets around Charnwood Road and Hall Croft can have limited roadside parking, whereas detached properties further out have wide driveways. During our initial visit, we check where scaffolding feet can safely sit, protect block paving with timber boards, and arrange skip delivery so it doesn't block your neighbours.
Clear Quotes & Timings
Minor repairs—like replacing a few wind-damaged ridge tiles or dressing back lead flashing—can often be sorted on the same day or within a few days. For larger re-roofs or flat roof replacements, we give you a written breakdown of materials, scaffolding, waste removal, and a firm start date.

Common Roof Jobs We See Around Shepshed
Over the years, we've noticed a few repeat issues on properties in this part of Leicestershire. On pitched roofs where original bitumen felt underlay has rotted away at the eaves, rainwater often drips behind the fascia board and down the exterior wall rather than into the gutter. Fitting rigid eaves trays and fresh breathable membrane at the bottom courses stops that rot in its tracks.
If you are planning a full roof replacement—removing more than 25% of the roof covering—Building Regulations require the loft insulation to be brought up to current thermal standards. We can talk you through what is needed during our visit so everything stays straightforward if you ever sell the house.
