About Calcot

Calcot is where our vans live, just off the Bath Road by junction 12 of the M4. It's a working part of Reading: post-war estates, Thirties semis along the main roads, and newer developments filling in the gaps.

Because we're local, the jobs here tend to come to us by word of mouth — a neighbour sees a scaffold go up and asks us to pop round. Fine by us. It's how a family firm should work.

Calcot's housing stock

Calcot's houses are mostly post-war — Fifties and Sixties semis, some Thirties houses along Calcot Row and the Bath Road, and newer estates off Dorking Way. The post-war ones were built quickly, and the timber fascias and soffits fitted then are now at the age where they rot, drop the guttering and let the birds in.

The garages and single-storey extensions from that era are nearly all flat-roofed too, sealed with materials that were fine in the Seventies and are past their best now.

Roof work we do most in Calcot

  • Roofline, Fascia and Soffit — replacing rotten timber fascia and soffit on the Fifties and Sixties estates.
  • Roof Repairs — slipped and cracked concrete tiles, broken ridges, leaks round the chimney.
  • Flat Roofing — EPDM re-covers for garages and extensions across the estates.
  • Full Roof Replacement — new roofs when the original concrete tiles have gone porous and brittle.
