Roofers in Moseley | Roofers R Us Ltd

In short

We cover Moseley and Wake Green. Large Victorian and Edwardian houses, many converted into flats, with steep slate roofs, valleys, dormers and tall chimney stacks that need real leadwork.

Roofing in Moseley

Moseley is one of the grand Victorian suburbs of Birmingham, and its housing is big: three storey villas and semis on the roads off the Alcester Road and around Moseley Park, with steep slate roofs, dormers, long valleys, ornate ridge tiles and tall chimney stacks with several flues. Many are now flats, which brings freeholders and management companies as well as owners. Roofs this size and age fail in the detail: valleys, the lead round dormers and stacks, and the slates slipping as the nails rust, and because of the height nearly everything needs scaffold and needs doing right first time. Parts of Moseley are a conservation area, so slate is replaced with slate and the ridges and finials are kept. Wake Green and the streets towards Hall Green are later and more modest, interwar semis under clay and concrete tile, and Balsall Heath on the city side is Victorian terracing under slate.

What we do in Moseley

Roof repairsMost roofs do not fail all at once. They fail at one detail, and the damage spreads from there. New roofs and re-roofingA re-roof is the one job where everything that matters is hidden by the time you see it finished. Flat roofingFlat roofs get a bad name from the way they used to be done. Done properly, a modern one outlasts the extension under it. Chimneys and leadworkA chimney takes more weather than any other part of the house, and the lead around its base is where most roofs first let go. Fascias, soffits and gutteringThe roofline is the part of the roof you can see from the pavement, and the part that quietly rots when the gutters are wrong. Moss removal and roof maintenanceMoss is not just cosmetic. It holds water against the tiles, blocks the gutters and, when it freezes, lifts the covering. Emergency roof repairsRoofs do not fail at a convenient hour. The phone is answered 24 hours a day.

Frequently asked questions

Our house is divided into flats. Who do you deal with?

Whoever holds the freehold or manages the building, usually a management company or the lead leaseholder. We give a written report with photographs so it can go round the owners.

Is Moseley a conservation area?

Parts of it are. In those streets slate is replaced with slate and the ridges and details are kept, and we work that way anyway.

Do you charge for a quote?

No. Someone comes out, looks at the roof properly and gives you a written price. There is no charge and no obligation.

How far do you travel?

We cover Bromsgrove, Redditch and the south side of Birmingham. If you are just outside the towns listed it is still worth ringing.

Do you do emergency call outs?

Yes, on a 24 hour line. If something has come off in the night we make it safe first and talk about the proper repair in daylight.
