Roofing in Stirchley

Stirchley is a Victorian and Edwardian district along the Pershore Road and the canal, terraced housing built for the works at Bournville and Ten Acres, and it has become one of the busiest parts of south Birmingham for people buying a first house and doing it up. The roofs are mostly slate, over a century old, with the usual pattern of failure: slates slipping as the nails rust, lead on the bays and back additions gone, chimney stacks that have never been pointed, and flat roofs on the rear extensions patched more than once. A lot of what we do here is for owners renovating, where the roof is done properly once as part of the wider job, and for landlords keeping older lets watertight. The terraces are tight to the pavement, so scaffold needs planning, and the loft conversions going in across the area mean more dormers and more lead.

What we do in Stirchley

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 renovating a terrace in Stirchley. When should the roof be done?

Early, before the plastering. A roof that is going to be re-covered or a dormer that is going in should be done before the inside is finished, and we will fit round the rest of the work.

Can you sort the flat roof on my back extension?

Yes. Those Victorian back additions have usually been felted several times over; EPDM rubber laid on a sound new deck is the lasting answer.

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.
