About Tilehurst

Tilehurst runs up the hill from the Thames side of Reading. Down at the bottom it's Victorian terraces along the Oxford Road corridor and round the old village; further up, Thirties semis and post-war estates spread out across the top.

The hill matters for roofs. The higher the house, the more weather it takes — wind off the valley, driving rain, and the odd storm that clears a few tiles off the ridge.

Tilehurst's housing stock

The older terraces round Tilehurst village still wear their original clay tiles and share chimney stacks with next door, so repointing and re-flashing are regular jobs for us here.

The interwar semis have shallow-pitched roofs with felt underneath that's long past its best, and their timber fascias are tired too. Up on the exposed roads, ridge lines and gable tiles take a proper battering.

Roof work we do most in Tilehurst

  • Roof Repairs — slipped tiles and broken ridges on the exposed roads up the hill.
  • Chimney Work — shared chimney stacks on the Victorian terraces need repointing and flashing.
  • Roofline, Fascia and Soffit — rotting timber fascia and soffit on the interwar semis.
  • Storm Damage Response — emergency call-outs when the wind takes tiles off the higher roads.
