Common roof repair jobs in Shrewsbury
Common roof repair jobs in Shrewsbury
The River Severn loop creates a microclimate with persistently higher humidity than surrounding Shropshire towns. This accelerates moss growth on north-facing pitches and softens ridge mortar faster than in drier areas. The most common repairs we carry out are slipped or missing tiles, ridge mortar failure, lead flashing leaks around chimney stacks, and valley blockages from autumn leaf fall near the riverside parks.
Shrewsbury-specific roofing issues
Nail sickness is prevalent on 1960s and 1970s concrete tile estates in Harlescott and Sundorne. If you’re in this area and noticing multiple tiles slipping, a full nail-and-re-fix is more cost-effective than individual repairs. Conservation area properties on The Mount, Swan Hill and Kingsland have material matching requirements — we stock reclaimed Welsh slate and period clay tiles for exactly this.
