Roofing in Northfield

Northfield was a village until Birmingham reached it, and between the wars the city built enormous council estates across the area: Allens Cross, Turves Green, the Weoley Castle side and up towards Bartley Green. They are good solid houses, mostly semis with hipped roofs, but they were built in the 1920s and 30s under concrete or clay tile that has now been up for the best part of ninety years. Hips and ridges re-bedded, verges made good, full re-roofs where the felt and battens have gone, and timber roofline replaced in UPVC are the regular jobs, along with a lot of chimney work, because every one of those houses has a stack and most have not been pointed in decades. Along the Bristol Road South there are older Victorian and Edwardian houses under slate, and the newer housing at Turves Green and around the old Longbridge site is younger and needs less.

What we do in Northfield

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

My 1930s council semi still has its original roof. Is that normal?

Common, yes. They were well built. But at ninety years old the felt is gone where there was any, the ridges are loose and the battens are tired, so it is worth a proper look before the winter.

Do you do the chimney stacks on these houses?

Yes, and it is one of the commonest jobs across Northfield. Repointing the stack and renewing the lead at the base is usually what a damp chimney breast needs.

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.
