Free, no-obligation. No call-out fee. Local team.
Blaby has a housing stock characterised by 1970s–modern detached and semi-detached, open south-west Leicestershire position exposed to prevailing westerlies. Blaby's open south-west position means full re-roofs require mechanically fixed tile on west-facing slopes. Modern dry-fix ridge and verge systems are appropriate for post-1990s properties being re-roofed. We cover all of Blaby and the LE8 postcode area.
3-bed semi £4,000–£8,000, detached £7,000–£15,000. Free written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras.
All roof replacement work carries a written workmanship guarantee. We are NFRC registered, carry £5m public liability insurance, and have been serving Leicester and Leicestershire since 2003.

Blaby sits on flat agricultural land south-west of Leicester with open exposure to prevailing south-westerly weather. The flat topography provides no natural shelter — a different exposure profile to the Soar Valley towns north of the city, meaning hip and ridge mortar on exposed south-west elevations deteriorates faster than in sheltered eastern Leicester suburbs.
Blaby's housing stock is predominantly 1970s–modern private detached and semi-detached development, with little of the Victorian terrace stock found in inner Leicester suburbs. Modern interlocking tile and dry-fix ridge systems are the standard specification across much of the area.
Hip tile failures on south-west facing elevations and dry-fix ridge cap displacement after westerly storm events are the defining repair categories in Blaby. The open south-westerly exposure makes this pattern more pronounced here than in sheltered Leicester city suburbs. We cover all of Blaby 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. Temporary weatherproofing fitted at the end of each day — no open roof left overnight.

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.
