Birstall sits on slightly elevated ground above the Soar Valley north of Leicester, with moderate exposure to northerly weather. The Soar Valley humidity affects lower-lying properties near the river corridor, contributing to moss accumulation on north-facing slopes in the older residential areas.
Birstall's housing stock spans from older period properties in the village core around Church Road to 1930s–50s semis on Sibson Road and Lonsdale Road, through to post-war and 1960s–70s concrete tile estates on the residential expansion zones.
Nail sickness on the 1960s–70s concrete tile estates is the dominant repair category in Birstall, with ridge re-bedding on 1930s semis a close second. The village core properties around Church Road require traditional materials and methods distinct from the estate housing. We cover all of Birstall and the surrounding area — the same team that surveys your roof carries out the work, with no subcontractors and no third parties.
Full re-roof starts with a detailed survey covering tile/slate specification, structural condition, drainage and access requirements. Written itemised quote before any decision. Conservation area requirements identified and advised on as part of the survey.
Scaffold erection and strip on day one. Structural inspection — any issues reported before proceeding. New breathable membrane and treated battens, tile laying from eaves to ridge, ridge and hip finishing, valley and flashing installation, site clear.

Repair work: minimum 2-year guarantee. Lead work, ridge and structural repairs: 5-year guarantee. Full re-roofing: 10-year guarantee.

We inspect all visible structural timber on the first day of strip. Any problems found — rotten rafters, failed wall plates, damaged purlins — are reported immediately with a written price for repair before we proceed. We never carry out structural repairs without your approval and a written cost. Structural repairs on a standard Leicester semi typically add £200–£800 to a re-roof when required.
Every job we carry out starts with a free on-site survey and a written itemised quote. The quote specifies the scope of work, materials by name, access method and guarantee period. No work starts without your written acceptance. We never add costs on site without discussing them with you first and getting your agreement. Our quotes are fixed-price — the figure you accept is the figure you pay unless you request additional work.
All our roofing work carries a written workmanship guarantee — 2 years on minor repairs, 5 years on lead work and structural repairs, 10 years on full re-roofing. We are registered with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), carry £5m public liability insurance, and have been working across Leicester and Leicestershire since 2003. If anything we have carried out develops a problem within the guarantee period, we return and put it right at no charge. Our NFRC registration and insurance certificate are provided with every written quote on request.
A written re-roof quote on a Leicester property should account for five cost elements: materials (tile/slate, underlay, battens, ridge, hip, lead/GRP details); scaffold hire; labour for strip and relay; waste disposal; and any structural timber repair required. Understanding the split between these elements helps you assess whether a quote is complete or is hiding costs that will appear during the job.
| Cost Element | Typical % of Total | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | 30–40% | Varies significantly by tile type |
| Scaffold | 15–20% | Fixed cost regardless of tile spec |
| Labour | 35–45% | Strip, underlay, batten, tile, ridge |
| Waste disposal | 5–10% | Skip hire or grab lorry |
A quote significantly below market rate on a fixed-cost job like scaffold hire is absorbing that cost somewhere in the specification or the guarantee period. Our quotes itemise every element — you know exactly what you are paying for before you accept.
