Get a quote →Blaby is a south Leicestershire market town with a compact older core and extensive modern and semi-modern residential development. The village centre and Lutterworth Road corridor have some older 1930s–50s semi-detached and detached housing using plain clay tile and concrete interlocking. The dominant character is post-1970s and modern private development on the southern and western fringes — modern concrete interlocking tile and modern clay. The LE8 postcode includes neighbouring villages such as Countesthorpe and Whetstone with their own distinctive housing mixes.
Blaby sits south-west of Leicester on flat agricultural land with relatively open exposure to south-westerly and westerly weather. The flat topography provides little shelter from prevailing weather systems — a different exposure profile to the Soar Valley towns north of the city. Hip and ridge mortar on exposed south-west elevations requires more frequent attention than in sheltered eastern suburbs.
Blaby's flat south-west Leicestershire location gives it open exposure to prevailing westerlies without the topographic shelter that the Soar Valley provides for Leicester city. Hip tile mortar failures on south-west facing elevations are more frequent here than in sheltered Leicester suburbs, driven by wind-driven rain eroding mortar faster on exposed faces. On Blaby's newer housing stock with dry-fix ridge and verge systems, clip and bracket failures after westerly storm events are a recurring category.
The 1970s–80s private estate housing across Blaby also has a significant volume of felt flat roofs on garages and rear extensions that are now 40–50 years old and at replacement age. We carry out more felt-to-GRP flat roof replacements in Blaby proportionally than in most other areas of our portfolio.
Hip tile failures on south-west facing elevations are more prevalent in Blaby than in sheltered eastern Leicester suburbs, driven by the open exposure to prevailing weather. Modern interlocking tile on post-1990s properties occasionally develops dry-fix verge and ridge clip failures as plastic components age. Flat roof repairs on garage extensions are a regular call across the 1970s–80s private estate housing.
"Hip tiles on our south-west elevation had failed twice in three years. These guys re-bedded with stronger mortar mix and added mechanical fixings on the exposed side. Not failed since."
"Garage flat roof on our 1978 Blaby semi replaced with GRP. Previous felt was 20 years old and leaking every winter. One-day job, completely sorted."
"Dry-fix ridge caps on our 2001 Blaby detached had come loose after high winds. Re-clipped and missing caps replaced. Quick job, reasonable price, came next day."

Dry-fix ridge cap and verge failures on post-1990s Blaby properties after wind events are the most frequent call on newer stock.

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.
The highest-value maintenance actions are: annual valley and gutter clearing in November (prevents most autumn leak calls); a roof inspection every 5 years (catches problems before they become expensive); and proactive attention to lead work and chimney pointing before they fail rather than after. A well-maintained Leicester roof should not require emergency call-outs — most emergency situations we attend could have been prevented by a £200–£400 maintenance visit in the preceding 2–3 years.
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 — we don't add costs on site without discussion. Repair work carries a minimum 2-year workmanship guarantee; lead work and structural repairs carry 5 years; full re-roofing carries 10 years. We are NFRC registered, carry £5m public liability insurance, and have been serving Leicester and Leicestershire since 2003. If anything we've done fails within the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no cost.
