Hillside's 1930s clay tile properties and post-war concrete tile semis need different repair approaches on the same street. We carry both material types and assess the correct specification at survey.
Inter-war semis and detached from the 1930s on Weld Road, Lonsdale Road and Hartley Crescent alongside post-war concrete tile stock — clay peg tile on better 1930s properties, concrete interlocking on post-war.
We confirm tile type at every Hillside survey before specifying replacement tiles. 1930s properties are assessed for original clay tile coverage — reclaim sourcing is confirmed before any booking where clay tiles need replacing. Post-war properties are assessed for concrete tile profile and colour tone match.
1930s ridge bedding in Hillside is now 80–90 years old in many cases. The original lime-based mortar on some properties has carbonated and is showing joint recession. We specify marine mortar for re-bedding — appropriate for coastal humidity conditions even on sheltered Hillside properties.
Post-war Hillside properties built between 1958 and 1978 are entering the nail sickness risk window. We include a nail condition check on these properties at every repair survey. Free survey and written quote — call 01704 620 427.

“1930s semi on Weld Road — clay peg tile repair. They sourced matching reclaimed stock. Invisible repair, conservative approach.”
“Post-war semi — ridge reline in marine mortar. They explained why marine mortar mattered even in this sheltered position.”
“Emergency after storm lifted three ridge tiles. On site within two hours, made safe same day.”
Hillside's Weld Road, Lonsdale Road and Hartley Crescent carry a blend of 1930s inter-war semis and later post-war development. The 1930s properties on this side of Birkdale carry clay peg tile or early ornamental clay as original covering. The post-war stock uses standard concrete interlocking. Two different specifications exist side by side on the same streets.
Every repair starts with an on-roof assessment — not a drive-by estimate. We access the roof, check valley and flashing condition alongside the visible repair, assess ridge mortar, and inspect the loft space where accessible. You receive a written quote specifying the exact work and materials before any commitment is made.
We carry materials appropriate to the neighbourhood's dominant housing stock on survey visits. For clay tile areas this means reclaim merchant contacts and stock confirmation before booking. For concrete tile areas this means the most common estate profiles. A tile that does not fit correctly into the surrounding courses creates a drainage problem rather than solving one.
