Builders in Redditch

Working in Redditch

Redditch was designated a New Town in 1964 and expanded rapidly through the late sixties and seventies. That shows up in the work: a lot of the housing across the estates went up within a fairly narrow window, which means roofs, flat-roofed garages, fascias and insulation across whole streets tend to reach the end of their life at roughly the same time. Older property around the town centre and the original village cores predates all of that and behaves quite differently.

What we are called out for here

• Re-roofing seventies estate housing where the original covering is past its life
• Flat roof replacement on garages and extensions
• Loft insulation upgrades, often after spray foam removal
• Driveways where the original hardstanding has sunk or cracked

What affects the price in Redditch

Redditch estate housing is usually straightforward to price because the properties repeat: once we have surveyed one roof or drive on a street, we generally know what the neighbours are dealing with. The variables that do move the number here are access for a skip and a tipper, whether the original flat-roofed garage is coming down or being recovered, and how much of the roof timber has taken on damp under old insulation.
