Belgrave developed in two main phases: Victorian terraced housing from the 1880s along and off Belgrave Road, and Edwardian semi-detached stock from 1900–1914 on the residential streets further from the road. Both eras share the same roofing specification: clay plain tile, open lead valleys and lime mortar chimney stacks.

Installing a Velux in an existing roof slope is generally permitted development — no planning application required. However, if the loft is being converted to habitable space at the same time, Building Regulations approval is required for the overall conversion (fire escape, insulation, structural calculations). We advise on any planning or Building Regulations implications as part of our free survey — we carry out Velux installations regularly across Leicester including on loft conversions.
We measure rafter spacing, pitch and rough opening before specifying any unit. Ordering the wrong size is an expensive mistake. We also confirm the correct flashing kit for the tile profile — plain tile, interlocking, slate — before ordering materials. Wrong flashing kit is the cause of most leaking Velux units we attend. Re-flashing with the correct profile permanently resolves the leak.

Belgrave developed in two phases that are visible in the housing stock today. The Victorian terrace rows along and off Belgrave Road date from the 1880s–1890s — dense, two-storey, clay plain tile, prominent chimney stacks. The streets further from Belgrave Road show Edwardian semi-detached development from 1900–1914, slightly larger properties with bay fronts and more elaborate chimney detail. Both phases share the same roofing materials — clay plain tile, lead valleys, lime mortar — but the Edwardian semis tend to have more extensive lead detailing at bay window junctions and rear addition roofs. The dominant repair call from Belgrave is chimney repointing: the density of Victorian terrace chimneys in this area, combined with 120–130 years of weathering in lime mortar, produces consistent repointing demand.
Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey — we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.
The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.
Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local roofers covering Belgrave and all of Leicester LE4.
