☎ Call 01743 537230 — Free QuoteShifnal’s historic core around Market Place and Church Street has some of the finest timber-framed and Georgian buildings in East Shropshire. These properties require Welsh slate, clay plain tile or period-appropriate materials, and any roofwork must respect both the visual character of the building and any conservation area or listed building constraints that apply.
The town’s modern residential development on the western and northern fringes — together with the nearby village of Albrighton — has a mix of 1980s and 1990s housing with concrete interlocking tile that represents a different set of roofing challenges. We cover the full range across the TF11 postcode.
Lead flashing failure and mortar deterioration on the town centre’s period properties are the most common heritage repairs in Shifnal. The older clay plain tile roofs on Georgian and Victorian properties require skilled work for both repairs and replacement. On the modern estates, flat roof garage failures and routine concrete tile maintenance are the most common jobs.
"Clay plain tile roof on a Georgian property. Needed a significant area of replacement with tiles matching the originals. Sourced correctly, fitted perfectly, conservation officer satisfied. Excellent work."
"GRP flat roof on the double garage. Great finish, sorted the drainage issue that caused the previous felt to fail, and left everything clean. Really pleased."
"Emergency call-out after a storm took tiles off the front pitch. Responded quickly, made safe the same day and completed the full repair within the week. Professional throughout."

Shifnal sits on the East Shropshire plain, well sheltered compared to the western towns. Its proximity to Telford means it benefits from the slightly warmer urban climate of the conurbation. Exposure is moderate — significant storm events are less frequent here than in Oswestry or Whitchurch.
A medieval and Georgian historic core with conservation area designation, surrounded by 1970s to 1990s private residential development. The historic core has clay plain tile and Welsh slate — materials uncommon in most Shropshire towns of this size, reflecting the town's age and character.
Clay plain tile failure on historic properties requires sourcing matching material. Lead flashing renewal on Georgian chimneys. For the modern estates, concrete interlocking tile nail sickness is the primary issue as the stock approaches 40 to 50 years old.
Shifnal's conservation area designation creates specific material requirements for visible roofwork on the historic core. Clay plain tile is the correct specification — not concrete interlocking tile — and replacement material must match the original in colour, profile and texture. We source appropriate clay plain tile for all Shifnal conservation area work.
We survey every property physically before quoting — never from the ground or from photographs. If repair is the right answer we say so. We do not push replacements when they are not warranted, and we do not recommend repairs when replacement is the more economical decision over a five-year horizon.
Every quote is written, itemised and fixed before any work starts. No verbal estimates, no day-rate pricing, no additions once the job has begun without prior agreement. You know the exact cost before we lift a tile — and the price does not change unless the scope changes and you agree to it.
No subcontractors, no agency labour. The team that surveys your roof is the team that carries out the work. We have been building our reputation in Shropshire since 2003 by taking direct responsibility for every job — something a contractor who farms work to subcontractors cannot offer.
All re-roof and major repair work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued at job completion. We are fully insured with £5m public liability cover. NFRC registered. We have been trading in Shropshire for over 20 years — our guarantee means something because we will be here to honour it.
We cover the full Shropshire area from our Shrewsbury base, with no additional travel charge for any location within our coverage area. The same team, the same standards, and the same written 10-year guarantee apply on every job — whether we are working in a Victorian terrace in Belle Vue, a 1960s semi in Harlescott, a period villa in Church Stretton, or a modern estate in Telford.
Our coverage includes all Shrewsbury suburbs — Bayston Hill, Meole Brace, Monkmoor, Belle Vue, Harlescott, Copthorne, Radbrook and Kingsland — and all surrounding Shropshire towns including Telford, Oswestry, Whitchurch, Newport, Shifnal, Wem, Church Stretton and Market Drayton. We also cover the villages and rural properties between these centres across all SY and TF postcodes.
Free surveys are available across all of this coverage area with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed. Call 01743 537230 to book.
Every job starts with a physical survey — not a quote over the phone, not an estimate from the ground. We access the roof, inspect defects and their causes, check for related issues in surrounding areas, and photograph the condition. The written fixed-price quote is issued the same day or the following morning. Survey visits are free across all Shropshire postcodes with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed.
We do not use pressure tactics, do not offer day-of discounts to rush a decision, and do not manufacture urgency. If a job can wait two weeks safely we tell you. If it needs addressing immediately we explain exactly why. Every quote is written and itemised — no verbal estimates, no additions once work has started without prior agreement.
All prices are fixed before work starts. For repair jobs under £500, payment is due on completion. For larger jobs — re-roofs, full guttering replacements, chimney rebuilds — a deposit of 10 to 25 percent covers materials, with the balance on satisfactory completion. We never ask for full payment upfront on any job. We accept bank transfer and card. Full VAT receipts are issued at completion on all work.
Any contractor requiring full cash payment upfront, offering large on-the-spot discounts, or approaching you unsolicited at your door should be treated with caution. Legitimate roofing contractors do not operate this way. If you are unsure about a quote you have received, call us on 01743 537230 for an independent assessment.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Shifnal roofer.
