Roofers in Reading
Reading's a proper mix of housing, and no two roofs here are quite the same. We work across the whole town — from the Victorian terraces round the centre to the newer estates on the edge.
About Reading
Reading squeezes a lot of house styles into a few square miles: Victorian terraces pressed tight around the town centre, Edwardian semis out towards Caversham, Thirties semis filling the suburbs, and new flats still going up near the station.
That mix is exactly why roofing here keeps us on our toes. An older slate roof needs a different hand to a modern concrete-tile one, and we've worked on every era Reading has. If you're not sure what yours needs, tell us what you've spotted and we'll tell you straight.
Reading's housing stock
Most of the town's terraces are well past a hundred years old now, still carrying their original slate or clay tiles. They've done brilliantly, but they don't owe anyone anything — and the chimneys sit right on the party wall line, so a leak there shows up as damp in the front bedroom.
The Thirties semis have shallow pitches and tile-hung gables; the post-war estates have concrete interlocking tiles that go brittle with age; and plenty of houses have flat-roofed back additions and garages added in the Eighties. All of it, we deal with.
