Eyres Monsell is a 1960s local authority housing estate in south Leicester. The housing stock is predominantly two and three-bedroom semi-detached with concrete interlocking tile roofs. A decade newer than Braunstone, nail sickness is now progressing to critical stage across the estate — the 60-year-old steel fixing nails are corroding at scale and tiles are beginning to displace in storm conditions.
Fascia replacement across Eyres Monsell LE2. 1960s semi-detached properties frequently had 1990s uPVC fascia installed over original timber — overlay installations from that era are now failing. We carry out full replacement rather than second overlay.
3-bed semi £900–£1,800 including guttering. All work carries a written workmanship guarantee and all prices are confirmed in a written quote before any work starts.

For most Leicester properties, fascia and soffit replacement can be carried out from a combination of access tower and extending ladders. Scaffold is required for properties above two storeys, for detached properties with complex rooflines, or where the distance from ground to eaves exceeds 6 metres. We assess access requirements on the survey and include any necessary scaffold in the written quote — there are no hidden access costs added during the job.
We fully remove all existing timber before installing uPVC — no overlay. Full removal allows rafter foot inspection, ensures a sound substrate for fixing, and delivers the full 30–40 year lifespan of new material. Overlaying over rotten timber traps moisture and produces early failure. Vented soffit panels fitted as standard to maintain required roof void cross-ventilation. New guttering included to correct fall and specification.
2-bed terrace £700–£1,200 including guttering. 3-bed semi £900–£1,800. 4-bed detached £1,500–£3,000. White uPVC standard; woodgrain and colour finishes available at small premium. Written quote and workmanship guarantee on all installations.
Every job starts with a written itemised quote specifying scope, materials by name, access method and guarantee period. No work begins without your written acceptance and we never add costs on site without discussion. Repair work: 2-year guarantee minimum. Lead work and structural repairs: 5-year guarantee. Full re-roofing: 10-year guarantee. NFRC registered, £5m public liability insurance, serving Leicester and Leicestershire since 2003.

Eyres Monsell is a 1960s local authority housing estate in south Leicester. The housing stock — predominantly two and three-bedroom semis with concrete interlocking tile roofs — is a decade newer than Braunstone but is now entering the same nail sickness progression. The steel fixing nails from 1960s Leicester council housing are 60+ years old and corroding across the estate. Unlike Braunstone where nail sickness is well advanced, Eyres Monsell is at the stage where proactive intervention is most cost-effective — many properties have tiles that are close to but not yet at displacement stage, making re-nailing before the first storm displacement significantly cheaper than the same work plus emergency call-out.
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 Eyres Monsell and all of Leicester LE2.
