Roofing on Worcester housing
The older part of Worcester, around the cathedral, Barbourne, St Johns and Battenhall, is Georgian and Victorian with extensive conservation areas, and the roofs are slate and clay on original timbers with chimneys, valleys and parapets that need real leadwork rather than sealant. A change of covering is a consent question for Worcester City Council, repairs generally are not, and on a listed building even like-for-like work needs consent. We check before we quote. Access in the city centre, parking and the narrower streets, is planned and priced rather than assumed.
The postwar and modern housing at Warndon, Ronkswood and the newer developments has concrete tile roofs on trussed rafters, and the work there is conventional: a re-cover with a breathable membrane, new battens and a dry ridge when the tiles and felt are done. Because Worcester is about eighteen miles from Redditch, we are honest that small call-outs here are not usually economic, and that full re-roofs and larger repairs are what we take on. A quick photo lets us tell you which yours is before anyone drives out.

Had Marcus & the team remove my spray foam last week. They was very professional & left no mess. They replaced my old felt with a new membrane as it was so old & falling apart. I have recommended them to my neighbour. Good service all round.
Carter Langfold spent 5 days last week correcting a mess done by another Company in an attempt to remove spray foam from loft. The team led by Manager Marcus were brilliant throughout the week.
Very pleased with the professionalism & standard of work provided.
Questions
Roofing in Worcester, answered straight
Do you take on small roof repairs in Worcester?
Honestly, not usually. It is the edge of our area and a small job does not justify the travel for you or for us. Full re-roofs and larger repairs are what we do here, and we will say which yours is from a photo.
Do conservation rules apply to my Worcester roof?
Much of the older city is covered, and a change of covering can need consent. Repairs rarely do. Worcester City Council confirms it for your address.
Can you do the leadwork properly?
Yes, and on a Georgian or Victorian roof it is most of the job: valleys, parapets, chimney flashings and back gutters in lead, detailed to last, not patched with mastic.
