Kew's re-roofing work splits cleanly by era — clay plain tile for 1930s properties, concrete tile with stainless fixings for post-war. We carry both and confirm the correct specification at every survey.
1930s semi-detached and detached on Portland Street, Eastbourne Road and Leyland Road alongside post-war development — clay peg tile on the best 1930s properties, concrete interlocking on post-war stock.
Every Kew re-roof survey confirms the build date and original tile type before specifying materials. We photograph the existing tiles and provide a written material specification with the quote.
Clay plain tile on a 1930s Kew property is the correct specification both aesthetically and technically. The tile profile, pitch angle and rafter spacing on inter-war housing is designed for clay tile weight and drainage characteristics.
Standard concrete interlocking tile with stainless fixings is the correct specification for post-war Kew stock. Marine mortar for ridge and hip as standard across all of the Southport coastal zone. Call 01704 620 427.

“1935 semi on Portland Street — clay plain tile re-roof. Correct material, correctly executed.”
“Post-war semi — stainless fixings specified. Clean five-day job, marine mortar ridge.”
“They gave a clear explanation of why clay was the right choice for our 1930s property vs concrete. Helpful and correct.”
Kew's Portland Street, Eastbourne Road and Leyland Road carry 1930s semi-detached and detached properties alongside post-war development. The 1930s stock — the better examples carrying original clay peg tile — is at the age where ridge mortar and lead valleys need professional attention for the first time. Post-war concrete tile stock is entering the nail sickness risk window.
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. A guarantee is only as good as the contractor who stands behind it, and we are a local Southport business that will still be here when you need us to honour it.
We are registered with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), carry £5m public liability insurance, and hold Employer's Liability insurance on all operatives. All certificates are available on request and are routinely provided before work starts on any job over £500. Free survey — call 01704 620 427 to arrange a visit at a time that suits you.
