If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
External work with moderate noise. We sheet below the work area and clear debris daily. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Most work runs year-round. Specific materials may need dry or above-freezing conditions. Trent Valley humidity and East Midlands freeze-thaw cycling.
We have worked across every Nottingham postcode for over 20 years. Landlord Roof Repairs demands specific knowledge of local housing stock, materials and weather patterns. Properties on the Arnold ridge face different conditions to those in the Trent Valley at Colwick. Victorian terraces in Sherwood need different specifications to 1960s estates in Clifton. We know these differences and specify accordingly.

Three statutes govern your roofing obligations. Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 places a statutory duty to maintain structure and exterior including roof, walls, guttering and drainage. The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 requires the property to be fit for habitation throughout the tenancy. Awaab's Law requires investigation of hazard reports within 14 days and repairs within 7 days. Non-compliance carries enforcement action, rent repayment orders, and unlimited fines.
Lenton and Dunkirk house the densest student HMO concentration with Victorian terraces carrying deferred maintenance. Sneinton and St Ann's have significant private rental stock on 1970s rebuilds where concrete tile roofs are reaching end of life. Bulwell and Basford have growing buy-to-let portfolios on inter-war stock. Each area presents different maintenance demands. We provide scheduled inspection programmes that keep landlords compliant and prevent emergency costs.
Annual roof inspection costs £120-£250. Catching a £200 repair before it becomes a £2,000 emergency saves money and keeps tenants housed. We offer landlord maintenance programmes from £150 per year covering annual inspection, gutter clearance, minor repairs up to £100 value, and priority emergency response. Properties on the programme rarely generate emergency calls.
Every job begins with a thorough inspection from the roof, not from the ground. We check every tile, flashing, valley, ridge line, chimney, gutter, fascia, soffit and roof space timber. You receive a written report with photographs explaining what we found, what needs doing, what can wait, and what it will cost. We never inflate a quote to cover contingencies. If we find additional work during the job, we photograph it, explain it, and get your approval before proceeding. The quoted price is the price you pay unless you authorise extras.
We specify every material for the application and exposure. Stainless steel fixings where iron would corrode within decades. Code 5 lead where code 3 would fatigue within 15 years. Flexible adhesive where cement mortar would crack within 5 winters. Breathable membrane where bituminous felt would trap condensation. These choices add marginally to each job but dramatically extend the interval between repairs. Over 10-20 years, the correct specification is always the cheaper option because the work does not need repeating.
NFRC registered, £5 million public liability insurance, and a written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job. We answer the phone ourselves. We inspect every roof in person. We write detailed quotes that explain the problem, the solution, the materials and the price. We turn up when we say we will, we finish when we say we will, and we clean up when we leave. No surprises, no pressure, no inflated invoices. Over 20 years of this approach has built our reputation across every Nottingham postcode.

Emergency response within 60-90 minutes across the full area. Planned work typically scheduled within 1-2 weeks of survey. Call 0115 670 1242 for a free quote.
We offer annual maintenance packages from £150 per year covering a comprehensive roof inspection, minor repairs up to £100 value, complete gutter clearance, a written condition report with photographs, and priority booking for follow-up work. Maintenance customers receive priority emergency response and a 10 percent discount on all additional work. This proactive approach catches problems at the £50-£200 stage before they become £2,000-£5,000 emergencies. Call 0115 670 1242 to set up your programme.
Nottingham City Council actively enforces housing standards. Improvement notices carry unlimited fines. Rent repayment orders require landlords to repay up to 12 months rent. Banning orders prevent non-compliant landlords from letting properties. The financial consequences of ignoring a roof problem that causes damp far exceed the cost of the repair itself. Our landlord inspection programme provides dated, photographic evidence of roof condition that demonstrates compliance with all three statutes.
These services are often requested alongside the work described on this page. Click through for Nottingham-specific pricing and details.
Every inspection we carry out for Nottingham landlords produces a dated, photographic report with: current condition assessment, identified repairs with priority rating, recommended maintenance schedule, estimated costs, and compliance status against all three relevant statutes. This report protects you if a tenant raises a disrepair claim. It demonstrates proactive management and good faith. We retain copies for 6 years. The report is included in the inspection fee at no additional cost.
Houses in Multiple Occupation across Lenton, Dunkirk and Beeston face additional inspection requirements under Nottingham City Council HMO licensing conditions. Roof condition is assessed as part of the licence application and renewal. Properties failing the roof condition assessment can have their licence refused or revoked. We provide HMO-specific roof inspection reports formatted for licence submission. The report confirms compliance with the relevant standards and provides a maintenance schedule for the licence period.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Honest quote from a local Nottingham roofer.
