Roofers in Abbots Bromley

Working in Abbots Bromley

Abbots Bromley is a historic village with a conservation area of timber-framed and Georgian brick buildings around the Butter Cross, set in open countryside close to Blithfield Reservoir.

Around Abbots Bromley there are plenty of cottages and older brick houses with steep pitches, clay tiles and old chimneys, alongside newer homes. We match materials carefully so repairs blend in with the rest of the village. Abbots Bromley's timber-framed and Georgian buildings call for traditional materials such as clay tiles, slate, lead and lime mortar, and conservation area rules can apply.

For Abbots Bromley (WS15), planning applications are handled by East Staffordshire Borough Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is roughly seven miles from our yard along the B5013.

How we work

On older roofs we try to save what is sound and replace only what is failing, matching tiles and slates where we can. On new roofs and full replacements we use breathable membranes, treated battens and properly fixed dry or wet verges and ridges, so the whole roof is built to last.

We inspect from scaffold or a safe access point, photograph what we find and talk you through it, so you can see why a repair or replacement is recommended. Because scaffolding comes from our sister company, Staff4dshire Scaffolding, access is booked in-house and we avoid the usual wait for a third-party scaffolder.
