Roofers in Tamworth

Working in Tamworth

Tamworth has its Norman castle and historic centre, but most homes date from the town's post-war expansion, with large estates at Glascote, Wilnecote, Amington and Belgrave, and newer development around the edges of town near the A5 and M42.

Most of Tamworth's inter-war and post-war semis have concrete interlocking tiles laid on old bitumen felt; when that felt perishes and the mortar ridges loosen, a re-roof with breathable membrane and dry-fix ridges is often better value than repeated patching. Tamworth's post-war estates at Glascote, Wilnecote and Amington have many concrete tile roofs now on their original felt, plus flat-roofed garages and porches.

For Tamworth (B77, B78 and B79), planning applications are handled by Tamworth 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 about seventeen miles away through Lichfield.

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.
