Roofers Covering Stratford-upon-Avon for Repairs and Re-Roofs

The Roofing Lads is a Coventry-based roofing company covering Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding CV37 area. We carry out roof repairs, re-roofs and new roof installations, chimney repairs, leadwork and flat roofing for homeowners across the town and nearby villages.

Every job starts with a proper inspection, so we know what is causing the problem before we recommend anything. You receive a clear written quotation setting out the work, and we explain whether a repair is enough or a larger replacement makes more sense.

Roof repairs: most roof problems start small. A slipped tile, a cracked flashing or a blocked valley can let water in long before a stain appears on the ceiling. We trace where water is getting in, replace slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, and re-bed or mechanically fix loose ridges and verges. After high winds or heavy rain we inspect for lifted tiles, displaced ridges and damaged flashings. We assess the damage and carry out the appropriate repair or temporary protection where required, with any further work explained clearly.

New roofs and re-roofing: when a roof has widespread slipped tiles, failing battens, worn underlay or repeated leaks in different places, ongoing repairs can stop being good value. We do not recommend replacement because of age alone. Our new roof installations cover full strip-and-re-roof work in slate or tile, including new battens and breathable membrane, with ridges, verges, valleys and leadwork renewed as needed. Your written quotation confirms exactly what is included.

Stratford-upon-Avon has a wide mix of property: older town-centre homes, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, post-war housing and newer estates on the edges of town. Many older homes have natural slate or clay tile roofs with leadwork around chimneys, valleys and abutments, which often need careful, like-for-like work. We carry out slate roofing and tiled roofing repairs and replacements, matching materials as closely as practical.

Parts of Stratford-upon-Avon are within conservation areas, and some properties are listed. If your home may be affected, check with the local planning authority before any significant roofing work. Confirming consent requirements is the homeowner's responsibility, and we carry out the work to the agreed specification.

Post-war and newer homes typically have concrete interlocking tiles, dry ridge or verge systems, uPVC roofline and flat-roofed extensions or garages. Common faults include loose ridges and verges, worn flashings, tired flat roofs and blocked or leaking guttering, and we repair them properly rather than patching over the symptoms.

Flat roofs on extensions, garages and dormers often fail at the edges, joints and outlets first. We repair flat roofs where that is practical and replace them where it is not.

Replacement options include EPDM rubber roofing, GRP fibreglass roofing and torch-on felt. No single system is best for every roof; we recommend one based on the roof's size, shape, access and use. See our flat roofing page for more detail.

Chimneys and lead details are among the most common causes of roof leaks on older Stratford homes. Our chimney repairs include repointing, chimney repairs and rebuilding where appropriate, replacing flaunching and renewing chimney flashings, so water stops getting in where the stack meets the roof.

We replace and repair lead flashings, soakers, valleys and abutments. Our leadwork is fitted to suit the roof, with joints and fixings detailed properly so it stays watertight.

Damaged roofline and blocked gutters can let water into walls and roof edges. We repair and replace guttering, and replace worn or rotten timber roofline with new fascias and soffits, often alongside a re-roof or larger repair.
