Your Local Roofers
in Leicester
We're based just south of the city in LE8 4FF, so Leicester is on our doorstep. From the terraced streets around Clarendon Park, Westcotes and Belgrave to the semis and bungalows of Braunstone, Aylestone, Knighton and Evington, we work on Leicester roofs week in, week out.
Being close by means we can get to you without a long drive across the county. We don't promise a set response time, but when you call our 24/7 line we'll tell you honestly when we can be with you. Customers have told us we came out quicker than they expected.
Homes in Leicester
Leicester's housing is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war and post-war semis, council-built estates, bungalows and newer developments on the edge of the city. Older terraces often have original slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and lead-lined valleys between houses. Post-war homes tend to have concrete interlocking tiles with mortar-bedded ridges, and many have flat-roofed extensions or garages added since.
What Every Leicester Job Includes
Whether it's one slipped tile or a full re-roof, every Leicester job starts the same way: a free inspection for homeowners, with a drone where it helps, followed by a photographic report so you can see the problem for yourself. Then you get a fixed price in writing, with the guarantee for your job confirmed before you say yes. We keep the roof weathertight at the end of each working day, clear away old materials as we go, and leave the site tidy when we finish.
Covering Leicester and the Surrounding Area
Leicester is one of nine towns and villages we cover regularly from our base in LE8 4FF. As well as Leicester, we work in Blaby, Narborough, Fleckney and across Leicester and Blaby, so if you have family or a rental property nearby, the same team and the same fixed-price promise apply there too. Normal working hours are 6:30am to 6:30pm, and the emergency line is covered 24/7.

"Had a leak pop up after all that crazy rain and these guys came out way quicker than I expected. They showed up on time and dealt with the issue the same day. Price was fair for the work and they cleaned up after themselves, which I appreciated. So far, no more leaks and everything looks solid. Would definitely call them again if I need any roof work in the future."

Local roof problems
Common Roof Problems
in Leicester
Nail fatigue on old slates
Many of Leicester's terraces still have original slate roofs. The slates may be sound, but the iron nails holding them corrode over decades, so slates slide out one by one. Once several go, a re-roof is often better value than endless repairs.
Shared chimneys and party walls
On terraces and semis the chimney is often shared between two houses. Failed flashings or eroded pointing on one side can let water into both, so the junction needs to be sealed properly.
Valleys and back gutters
Rear outriggers on terraced houses create valleys and junctions where water concentrates. Blocked or worn lead here is a common cause of leaks into back bedrooms.
Tired extension flat roofs
Kitchen and garage extensions built decades ago often have felt flat roofs that crack, blister and pond water. These are a common source of leaks.
Leicestershire's weather brings frequent rain, winter frosts and occasional strong winds. Frost cracks mortar and porous tiles, rain finds every gap in worn underlay, and wind lifts anything already loose. Catching these problems early with a free inspection is far cheaper than repairing water damage inside your Leicester home.
