Working in Rugby

Roofing work across Rugby

Rugby grew up around its school and the railway works, and that history is reflected in the housing, with solid Victorian terraces near the town centre giving way to interwar semis further out and, more recently, large new build estates at Houlton. We work across all of it, matching the approach to the property.

Being fairly exposed on the edge of open Warwickshire countryside, Rugby homes take a fair share of wind, and we regularly get called out after storms for lost tiles, damaged ridge lines and gutters pulled away from fascias. The older terraces near the centre also bring their own issues with ageing slate and chimney flashing.

We cover the whole town, including Hillmorton, Bilton, Newbold and Brownsover, as well as the villages around Rugby such as Dunchurch and Long Lawford, taking on everything from small repairs to full re-roofs and new flat roofs on extensions.

Property styles and roofing materials in Rugby

Near the town centre and in Hillmorton, a lot of the housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, typically slate roofed with brick chimneys, built for the railway and school workforce in the nineteenth century. These roofs are generally straightforward to repair, though slate matching matters on the more visible streets.

Bilton and Newbold have a good mix of interwar and 1950s to 1960s semis and detached houses, mostly with concrete or clay tile roofs that are simple to maintain and replace when needed. Brownsover and the newer parts of town add postwar and more recent estate housing into the mix.

Houlton, Rugby's newest and largest development, is built to current standards with modern interlocking tiles, so most of the work there tends to be inspection, minor repair or guttering rather than major re-roofing, at least for now.

Common problems

Roof problems we see in Rugby

The faults that come up most often on local properties.

Slipped slates on Victorian terraces near the centre

The Victorian terraces around the town centre and Hillmorton often have original slate roofs, and as fixing nails corrode, slates slip or fall, letting water into the roof space. This is one of the most common jobs we do in Rugby.

Storm damage on exposed estate roofs

Rugby sits fairly open to the surrounding countryside, and estates in Bilton and Newbold can take a battering in high winds, with ridge tiles and roofing felt lifting after bad weather. We see a spike in call-outs after any strong storm.

Flat roof problems on extensions

A lot of Rugby homes, particularly the semis in Bilton and Newbold, have flat roof extensions or garages, and older felt coverings crack and let water pool, which we often replace with EPDM for a longer lasting fix.

Guttering pulling away from fascias

Older cast iron and ageing plastic guttering on the Victorian terraces and 1930s semis around Rugby can pull away from the fascia board over time, especially where it has been overloaded with leaves and debris.

Chimney flashing failures

Terraced houses near the centre often still have working or capped chimneys, and the lead flashing around them wears thin with age, leading to damp patches on chimney breasts inside the home.
