Full re-roofs on Oadby's 1930s–50s stock typically use modern concrete interlocking or clay plain tile. The elevated golf course fringe sees more weather exposure than sheltered areas.

Material specification depends on the property era and exposure. Full re-roofs on Oadby's 1930s–50s stock typically use modern concrete interlocking or clay plain tile. The elevated golf course fringe sees more weather exposure than sheltered areas. We advise on the correct material for your specific property on the free survey.

Our written quotes specify: the tile or slate product by name, underlay specification, batten type, how ridges and hips will be finished, scaffolding arrangement, waste disposal, and the workmanship guarantee period. If a quote doesn't specify these details, ask for them in writing before accepting.
We source matching tiles wherever possible. On older properties with weathered original tiles, exact matching is rarely achievable — we carry sample tiles to find the closest available modern equivalent and discuss the match with you before ordering.
Yes. All our quotations are provided in writing before any work starts. The quote specifies the scope of work, materials, access method and the workmanship guarantee. We never begin work without written acceptance.
Oadby sits on elevated ground above the Soar Valley with south-westerly exposure across the open golf course to the west. Properties on the estate fringe experience noticeably more wind uplift on west-facing ridges and hips than sheltered inner Leicester suburbs.
The dominant 1930s detached and semi-detached stock across Stoughton Drive South, The Fairway and Glen Road has hipped roof designs with mortar-bedded ridge and hip details now 85–90 years into their service life.
West-facing ridges and hips on Oadby golf course estate properties require more frequent attention than equivalent Leicester city properties due to the elevated exposure. Mechanically fixed replacements are the recommended approach on exposed western elevations. We cover all of Oadby 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.

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.
