Evington encompasses a wide range of housing eras. The inner Evington area along Evington Road and the streets immediately running from it contains Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing built in the late 19th and early 20th century, predominantly clay plain tile with tall chimney stacks. Moving outward, the 1930s and early post-war development along Coleman Road, Evington Lane and Stoughton Lane created large areas of semi-detached and detached housing using concrete interlocking tile and early clay tile. The outer Evington area around Evington Valley Road includes more recent development from the 1960s onwards. This variety of housing stock means Evington has a wide range of roofing requirements in a relatively compact area.
The Victorian terrace stock on Evington Road and surrounding streets shares the same lead work and chimney pointing issues found across Leicester's inner Victorian suburbs. Moving into the 1930s semi belt, ridge tile re-bedding and hip tile failures are the dominant repair calls. Moss accumulation on north-facing slopes is a notable issue in Evington — the combination of established garden tree cover in the older residential areas and the low-lying Valley character of parts of the LE5 area creates persistent damp conditions that support heavy moss growth on clay tile surfaces. The post-war stock further out has concrete interlocking tile showing nail sickness on properties from the late 1950s and 1960s.
Parts of Evington sit within the Evington Valley, where lower ground and established tree cover create conditions for heavier moss accumulation on roof surfaces than Leicester's more exposed suburbs. North-facing slopes on Victorian clay tile properties along Evington Road see significant moss growth that requires periodic treatment. On the 1930s semi stock on higher ground around Coleman Road, exposure to south-westerly weather on ridge and hip details is the dominant maintenance driver.
"Victorian terrace on Evington Road — lead valley and chimney flashing both needed replacing. Done in one day from scaffold. No more leak that had been bothering us for two winters."
"Moss treatment on our north-facing clay tile roof. They cleared the heavy buildup manually first then soft-washed. Completely different roof, no tile damage. Would recommend over pressure washing."
"Ridge re-bedding on our 1935 semi on Stoughton Lane. South-facing ridge had failed on two sections. Re-bedded in full, new lead soakers, all completed in a day."

The Evington Valley location creates persistent low-level dampness and shade that favours moss growth, particularly on north-facing clay tile slopes. Properties with established garden tree cover see accelerated moss accumulation as leaf debris retains moisture against tile surfaces. We treat with soft-wash biocide rather than pressure washing, which damages tile surfaces.
Lead valley failures and chimney pointing on the Victorian terrace stock on Evington Road, ridge re-bedding on 1930s semis, moss treatment on north-facing clay tile slopes, and nail sickness repairs on late 1950s-60s concrete tile estates.
Yes. Soft-wash biocide treatment across Evington. We manually clear heavy accumulations first, then apply professional-grade biocide that kills moss at the root without pressure washing damage. Treatment effective for 3-5 years.
Yes. 24/7 emergency cover across Evington and LE5. Call 0116 319 1348 any time.
Yes. We cover the wider LE5 area including the outer Evington estates and Thurnby Lodge. Call 0116 319 1348 to confirm coverage for your specific location.
Yes. We frequently combine fascia, soffit and gutter replacement in a single visit for Evington properties. Combining the work is more cost-effective than separate visits and ensures the new guttering is correctly integrated with the new fascia profile.
This depends on the housing era. For Victorian and Edwardian properties: lead valley and chimney flashing inspection every 5 years is the highest-value action — these details fail slowly and expensively if left unattended. For post-war concrete tile properties: nail sickness inspection every 3–5 years to catch corrosion before tile displacement. For all property types: annual gutter and valley clearing in November. A free roof survey confirms which maintenance category your specific property falls into.
Every job starts with a written itemised quote specifying scope, materials by name, access method and guarantee period.

Evington's development in the 1930s produced a substantial belt of semi-detached and detached housing along Evington Lane, Stoughton Road and the residential streets between them. The housing stock is similar to West Knighton in era and specification — 1930s semis with mortar-bedded ridges and hips, a mix of clay plain tile on better properties and concrete interlocking tile on larger estates. The Evington Lane and Stoughton Road corridor has a mature residential tree canopy that creates specific maintenance requirements: annual valley clearing in autumn, moss accumulation on north-facing slopes under tree cover, and occasional root-related damage to flat roofs near large garden trees. The 1930s housing stock across Evington is at a maintenance transition point — properties not serviced in the last 15–20 years are accumulating multiple deferred maintenance items simultaneously.
