South Wigston sits in a low-lying position in the Soar tributary valley, creating higher ambient humidity than surrounding elevated areas. North-facing rear slopes on Victorian terraces in South Wigston accumulate moss faster than equivalent properties in higher-ground suburbs.
South Wigston contains one of the highest concentrations of pre-1914 Victorian terrace housing in Leicestershire. The densely built streets around Canal Street and Bassett Street have clay plain tile roofs now 110–140 years old, with lead work at the same age.
Lead valley failure is the dominant repair category in South Wigston. The original lead valleys on Victorian terrace rear roofs in this area are at fatigue point simultaneously across the housing stock, making correct re-running rather than sealant patching essential for lasting results. We cover all of Wigston and the surrounding area — the same team that surveys your roof carries out the work, with no subcontractors and no third parties.
We take three things immediately: your location, the nature of the problem, and whether water is actively entering the property. We give an honest arrival time estimate and dispatch the nearest available team. For genuine emergencies, speed matters more than administration.
Emergency attendance often results in a two-stage process: make-safe on the day, permanent repair within 3–7 days when conditions and materials allow. We always fit 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. 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.

Storm-displaced ridge and hip tiles are the most frequent emergency category across Leicester — accounting for approximately 40% of our emergency call-outs. Nail-sick tile displacement on post-war estate properties in Braunstone, Eyres Monsell and Thurmaston follows in frequency, with active lead flashing failures during sustained rain events the third most common. The pattern varies by area: inner-city Victorian properties in Highfields and Belgrave more often generate chimney flashing and lead valley emergencies; the post-war estates generate nail-sickness tile displacement; the exposed outer areas like Hinckley and Blaby generate more wind-damage ridge and hip calls.
| Emergency Type | Typical Response | Typical Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Storm tile displacement | Same-day | Make-safe + permanent repair |
| Active roof leak | Same-day | Temp membrane + repair date |
| Ridge/hip section down | Same-day | Make-safe + permanent repair |
| Structural concern | Priority same-day | Assessment + advice |
