Roofers in Burton upon Trent

Working in Burton upon Trent

Burton upon Trent grew around brewing, so it has long streets of Victorian terraces, larger villas in areas such as Stapenhill, and expanding modern estates around Branston and Stretton, as well as a lot of industrial and commercial property.

In Burton upon Trent's terraced streets the roofs, chimneys and gutters are often shared or close to neighbours, so access, party-wall details and safe working over pavements matter as much as the roofing itself. Burton's Victorian terraces have slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and rear outriggers with small flat or lean-to roofs that are frequent sources of leaks.

For Burton upon Trent (DE13, DE14 and DE15), 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 around sixteen miles east of Rugeley via the A513 and A38.

How we work

Every quote is itemised: what will be stripped, which materials go back, how the verges, ridges and abutments will be finished and how the site will be left. We work to the roof, not to a template, and we tidy and magnet-sweep the ground at the end of each day.

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.
