Solihull Roofing Services

Solihull covers a lot of ground, from the town centre out to villages like Hampton in Arden and Dorridge, and the roofing stock changes quite a bit as you move through it. Central and northern areas like Olton have older interwar housing, while Shirley and Dickens Heath are a mix of postwar and more recent estates. Further out, Knowle and Dorridge have some genuinely large detached homes with more complex rooflines.

Because the area is generally well established and reasonably affluent, we see a good number of homeowners wanting extensions re-roofed to match the original house, orangery or garden room flat roofs added, and older pitched roofs upgraded rather than just patched. That said, plenty of jobs here are still the simple stuff, a slipped tile, a leaking valley, or guttering that's overflowing into the flowerbeds.

We work across the whole B90 to B93 postcode area plus B91, and we're just as happy quoting for a small repair on a Shirley semi as we are pricing up a full re-roof on a larger property in Knowle or Hampton in Arden.

Olton and parts of central Solihull have a lot of 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses, often with clay tile roofs and decorative gables. These roofs are generally sound but at an age where ridge tiles, flashing and valleys need regular checking.

Shirley and Dickens Heath are dominated by postwar and more modern estate housing, mostly concrete interlocking tiles, straightforward pitches, and standard guttering. These are usually quicker, more affordable roofs to maintain, though poor original workmanship on some 1960s and 70s builds still causes the odd recurring leak.

Knowle, Dorridge and Hampton in Arden have a noticeably higher proportion of large detached homes, some period, some more recently built, often with a mix of roof types on the same property, clay tile on the main house, flat roof extensions, and sometimes slate on older sections. These jobs tend to need more careful assessment before quoting, given the variety of materials involved.
