Thurmaston's housing stock is dominated by post-war and 1960s–70s semi-detached and detached properties with concrete interlocking tile roofs. Now 50–70 years old, the steel nail fixings from this era are at or past the end of their corrosion-resistant life. Thurmaston's Soar Valley position creates moderate humidity that accelerates iron nail corrosion.

No. Wet and storm-damaged roofs are dangerous — loose tiles, wet felt and damaged structural elements create serious fall risk. Place containers to collect active water ingress inside, move valuables away from affected areas, and keep family members away from the area below any loose roof elements. Take photographs if safe to do so from ground level — these are useful for insurance purposes. Call us and we will advise on precautions while the team is on the way.
We take three details immediately: location, nature of the problem, and whether water is actively entering the property. We give an honest arrival time and dispatch the nearest team. For Leicester city and inner suburbs, typical response is 1–2 hours. We always install professional heavy-duty roofing membrane for temporary protection before leaving — not tarpaulins. The property is fully protected from further water ingress before we go. No out-of-hours surcharges.

Thurmaston developed in two main phases: post-war housing from the late 1940s to 1960s, and private residential expansion in the 1970s and 1980s. The older post-war stock shares the nail sickness challenges of Braunstone and Eyres Monsell — steel fixings from that era are at or past end of life. The 1970s–80s private housing is slightly better specified with some aluminium or early stainless fixings, but is now also approaching the age where systematic inspection is worthwhile. Thurmaston's Wreake Valley position introduces a specific factor: north-easterly exposure from the Lincolnshire direction produces more severe freeze-thaw cycling than south Leicester suburbs, accelerating mortar deterioration on ridge and chimney details above the rate seen on equivalent properties in Oadby or West Knighton.
Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey — we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.
The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.
Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local roofers covering Thurmaston and all of Leicester LE4.
