About Roofs Leicester

A Leicester roofing firm built on doing things properly — from one slipped slate to a full commercial flat roof.

Roofs Leicester is a local roofing contractor based in the heart of Leicester, serving homeowners, landlords and businesses across the city and the wider Leicestershire area. Our roofers have spent years learning their trade on the houses, factories and farm buildings of the East Midlands, and that local knowledge shapes every job we take on. We know the housing stock, we know the weather patterns, and we know which materials genuinely last on a Leicestershire roof.

The firm was built around a simple idea: be the kind of roofer you'd actually want to ring back. That means turning up when we say we will, quoting honestly, leaving sites tidy, and standing behind our work for the long haul. The bulk of our work comes through word-of-mouth recommendations from previous customers, which keeps us focused on doing things right rather than chasing the next quick job.

The Way We Work

Most roofs we look at don't need to be replaced — they need to be fixed properly. We'll always tell you the truth about what's actually wrong with your roof, what the realistic options are, and what each one will cost you. If a £400 repair will buy you another decade, we'll say so. If the roof's at the end of its life and patching it is throwing money away, we'll say that too.

When we do quote for full work, the quote is itemised and written. You see exactly what materials are going on, what's being stripped, what's being kept, and what the labour cost is. There are no vague "supply and fit" lump sums to hide unexpected charges in.

On site, we plan the work properly — scaffolding where it's needed, edge protection on every job, dust sheets in the loft if we're stripping the roof. We aim to leave a property cleaner than we found it. If something goes wrong with the workmanship within the guarantee period, we come back and fix it. No arguments, no call-out charges, no excuses.

Materials & Brands We Trust

We stick to established manufacturers because spare parts, warranty support and matching tiles need to still be available in twenty years' time — not just next season.

Pitched Roofing

Marley, Redland and Sandtoft tiles. Welsh slate from Penrhyn and Cwt-y-Bugail quarries. Spanish slate from CUPA and SSQ. Klober and Marley Eternit breathable membranes.

Flat Roofing

Firestone and Classicbond EPDM rubber. IKO and Sika commercial systems. Kemperol liquid waterproofing. SBS torch-on felt for traditional jobs.

Lead, Glass & Vents

Rolled lead to BS EN 12588 (codes 4-8). Velux, Fakro and Keylite roof windows. Klober ridge vents and tile vents for proper roof breathing.

Looking After Leicester's Roofs Properly

Roofing isn't a glamorous trade, but it's the bit of your house that takes the worst beating from British weather year after year. A roof that's been put on properly, with the right materials and the right detailing around chimneys, valleys and abutments, will keep the rain out for fifty years and barely need a thought. A roof that's been bodged — mismatched tiles, no breathable membrane, mortar instead of lead at the chimney — will leak inside two winters and cost you twice as much to put right the second time.

That's why we focus on doing each job once, properly. We'd rather quote a couple of jobs a week and finish them well than chase three a day and leave problems behind us. It's slower, but it's the kind of work that keeps the phone ringing on recommendations from neighbours, year after year.
