New tiles and hip on a hipped roof

Your local roofers in Olton

Olton is a popular residential suburb on the Warwick Road, with its own railway station and Olton Mere at its heart. Most homes are 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses, with some Edwardian properties and post-war infill.

Many interwar roofs are now approaching a hundred years old. Most have had a patch here and there, but the underlying felt, battens and ridge mortar are reaching the end of their life. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a new roof makes more sense, and give you photos to back it up.

Hipped roofs with bay windows and tall chimney stacks are typical here, and the bay and chimney flashings are often where leaks start.

A recent customer story

Emergency Roof Repairs

A 4am emergency call-out

The problem
An emergency: damaged roof sheets letting water in, and a section of chimney brickwork had fallen.
What we did
The team arrived at 4am to put a temporary covering on, then came back to remove all the damaged sheets and repair the chimney, spending a full day putting it right.
The result
A watertight roof. In the customer's words: "Not a drop came through."

“They arrived out at 4am and put a temporary covering on… done an absolute fantastic job.”

FAQs

Roofing in Olton: FAQs

Can't find your answer? Call or WhatsApp us and we'll be happy to help.

Should I repair or replace my 1930s roof?

It depends on the condition of the tiles, underlay and battens. If the roof is sound, a repair is the right answer. If problems are widespread, a new roof is better value. We'll show you drone photos and explain both options.

My bay window roof is leaking. Can you fix it?
