Roofing in Selly Oak

Selly Oak is dominated by the university and the hospital, and the housing shows it. Bournbrook and the streets between the Bristol Road and the railway are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, largely slate, with rear extensions under flat or lean-to roofs and chimney stacks every few yards, and a high proportion of them are student lets managed by landlords who need a roof made watertight quickly and a proper report afterwards. Selly Park, on the other side of the Pershore Road, is bigger Victorian and Edwardian villas with complex roofs, valleys and a lot of leadwork. Weoley Castle, up the hill, is one of the city’s big interwar council estates under concrete tile. Slipped slates from nail fatigue, failed flat roofs on the back extensions and chimney pointing are the everyday jobs here, and we work with several landlords across the area.

What we do in Selly Oak

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

I am a landlord with a few houses in Selly Oak. Can you look after them?

Yes, and we already do that for landlords across the area. One of our Google reviews is from a landlord who uses us on several properties.

Why do the slates keep slipping on my Victorian terrace?

Nail fatigue. The original iron nails rust through one by one and the slates slide, with no storm to blame. A few can be re-fixed; when it is happening across the whole slope the roof is telling you it needs re-covering.

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.
