Nail sickness is the corrosion of the nails that hold roof tiles to the battens. On Nottingham's 1960s-70s concrete tile estates — Clifton, Bilborough, Bestwood, Bulwell Hall, Rise...
The difference between work that lasts 5 years and work that lasts 25 comes down to specification. Stainless steel fixings where iron would corrode. Code 5 lead where code 3 would fatigue. Flexible adhesive where cement mortar would crack. Breathable membrane where felt would trap condensation. These choices add marginally to cost but dramatically extend the interval between repairs.

Maintenance customers get priority scheduling, priority emergency response, and 10 percent off all additional work. An annual check catches £200 problems before they become £2,000 emergencies.

Nottingham has one of the most diverse housing stocks of any English city. Victorian slate terraces in Sherwood sit streets away from 1920s Crane prefab houses in Wollaton. Post-war Wimpey no-fines estates in Clifton use completely different construction to the 1960s concrete tile estates in Arnold. Georgian cottages in Ruddington need handmade clay tiles that cost three times as much as the machine-made equivalents used on modern estates. A roofer who does not know this housing stock will misdiagnose, misspecify and underperform on every job.
We have worked on every type of Nottingham housing since 2005. We know the materials, the failure patterns, the planning restrictions and the supplier networks for every era of construction across the city and surrounding towns. This knowledge means faster diagnosis, correct specification first time, and work that lasts because it was designed for local conditions. Call 0115 670 1242 and talk to roofers who know Nottingham.
We offer a free initial roof assessment for homeowners across Nottingham and all surrounding towns. This is a genuine inspection by an experienced roofer who knows the local housing stock — not a sales pitch. We check tiles, flashings, valleys, ridge lines, chimneys, gutters, fascias, soffits and the roof space timbers. You receive honest findings and a written report. Many roofs we inspect need nothing at all and we are happy to tell you that. Where work is needed, you get a clear quote with no obligation. Call 0115 670 1242 to book your free health check.
