Hillside's 1930s and post-war properties need different re-roofing specifications on the same street — clay plain tile for inter-war properties, stainless concrete tile for post-war stock.
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.
The first question at a Hillside re-roof survey is the build date. Pre-1940 properties are assessed for clay tile coverage — conservation sensitivity area status is checked before any material specification is confirmed. Post-war properties proceed on concrete tile specification.
A clay plain tile re-roof on a 1930s Hillside semi takes slightly longer than a concrete tile equivalent — the clay tiles require individual mechanical fixing and more careful ridge and hip detailing. The result lasts significantly longer in Southport's coastal humidity.
Standard scaffold on a Hillside semi takes one day to erect and one day to strike. We include scaffold in all re-roofing quotes — it is never an add-on. Call 01704 620 427 for a free survey.

“1934 semi on Weld Road — clay plain tile re-roof. They confirmed the planning position and sourced tile before booking.”
“Post-war semi — concrete tile re-roof with stainless fixings. Good clean job, done in five days.”
“They explained the clay vs concrete choice clearly. Clay was the right answer for our 1930s property.”
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.
A re-roof survey goes further than a repair assessment — we access the roof, inspect the loft space for rafter and batten condition, check felt underlay state, and measure all valleys, ridges and hip lengths. The written specification confirms: tile type and manufacturer, mortar specification, lead grade, underlay specification, scaffold requirements, timeline and total cost.
A standard 3-bed semi re-roof takes 5–7 working days from scaffold erection to strike. We provide a written programme before we start. The roof is never left open to weather at the end of a working day — temporary weatherproofing is in place before we leave site.
All re-roofing quotes include: scaffold erection and strike, stripping, felt and batten inspection with replacement where needed, new breathable underlay, treated battens, tile covering in the agreed material, ridge and hip work in the specified mortar, all lead valley and flashing renewal, waste removal, and the 10-year written guarantee. No hidden additions. Call 01704 620 427.
We carry out full re-roofing work across all of Southport's residential neighbourhoods throughout the year. Major works are best scheduled for June–September in Southport's coastal climate — settled weather extends the working window and allows mortar and GRP to cure correctly. Written programme provided before work starts. All re-roofing carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Free survey — call 01704 620 427.
Payment on completion for standard jobs. Larger projects structured with a 20% deposit on written quote acceptance. We carry public liability insurance certificates for presentation before work starts. References from recent local jobs available on request.
All work is carried out by our own employed team — we do not subcontract. Every operative working on your property has been trained and assessed by us. This matters because it is what backs the 10-year written workmanship guarantee.
