When repairs are no longer enough, we strip and reroof Carlton homes to the highest standard. From Victorian to 1960s properties on Carlton Hill to post-war stock near Carlton Road, every replacement comes with a 10-year guarantee.
Carlton has Victorian terraces around Carlton Hill, inter-war semis along Carlton Road and Burton Road, and 1950s-60s estates around Colwick and Netherfield. Each type requires different materials and techniques. Welsh slate and clay on victorian stock, concrete interlocking on post-war estates are the main profiles we work with across Carlton. The eastern exposure means first to be hit by weather systems from Lincolnshire, with Trent Valley humidity creating persistent moss on north-facing roofs in lower-lying Colwick, which means material specification must account for local conditions, not just generic manufacturer recommendations.
Chimney stack deterioration from lime mortar erosion on victorian properties and moss growth from trent valley humidity. When we re-roof in Carlton, we do not just replace like-for-like. We assess the deck, the ventilation, and the fixings to prevent the same failures recurring. Properties on Carlton Hill need different ventilation solutions to those on Standhill Road because the roof geometry and exposure are different.
Realistic prices. Every job quoted individually, free, no obligation.
“Full re-roof on our property on Carlton Hill. Stripped to the rafters, new breathable felt, battens and tiles. The team were neat, on time and the finish is excellent.”
“Re-roofed our 1930s semi near Carlton Road. They found rotten deck boards that the surveyor had missed and replaced them at no extra charge. That is honest work.”
“Three quotes for a full re-roof on Burton Road. These were the most detailed and came in mid-range on price. Quality of work is outstanding.”
A 3-bed semi in Carlton typically costs £4,500-£8,000 to re-roof. Period properties along Carlton Hill requiring specialist materials cost more. Detailed itemised quotes provided free.
Standard 3-bed semis take 3-5 days. Larger period properties on Carlton Hill or Burton Road can take 5-8 days depending on complexity and weather.
Standard like-for-like re-roofs do not require permission. If changing materials or if your property is in a conservation area, you may need approval. We advise at survey.
We specify based on the property: Welsh slate and clay on Victorian stock, concrete interlocking on post-war estates. All materials come with manufacturer warranties plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee.

We answer the phone personally, not through a call centre. Tell us what you have noticed and we will give you an honest assessment over the phone. If it needs a site visit, we arrange one within 48 hours. The survey is free and thorough — we check the full roof, not just the area you have flagged. You receive a written quote with clear pricing, material specifications and a realistic timeline. There is no pressure to proceed and no charge for the survey. If you go ahead, we schedule the work promptly and keep you updated throughout. We clean the site daily and your home is weathertight every evening.
Every job comes with a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and are registered with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors. All materials come with separate manufacturer warranties. If any issue arises within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. We have been serving Nottingham homeowners since 2005 and our reputation depends on standing behind our work.
Nottingham's housing stock spans every era from Victorian terraces to modern estates. Each type has different roofing materials, different failure patterns, and different repair requirements. A roofer who knows Nottingham can diagnose faster, specify the right materials first time, and anticipate problems before they become expensive. We have worked on roofs across every postcode in the city and surrounding areas for over two decades. That experience means faster diagnosis, better solutions, and fewer callbacks.
Carlton stretches from the elevated Carlton Hill down to the Trent Valley floor at Colwick, creating two distinct roofing microclimates within a single suburb. Properties on Carlton Hill face easterly wind exposure comparable to Arnold, while properties in Colwick experience Trent Valley humidity levels comparable to West Bridgford. A roofer who does not understand this gradient will misdiagnose problems consistently.
Carlton Hill retains some of the finest Victorian terraces east of the city, with decorative chimney stacks built from Nottingham red brick and lime mortar that has been exposed to 130 years of frost cycling. These chimneys need specialist lime mortar repointing, not the cement patching that generic roofers default to.
We reach Carlton in 15-25 minutes. The NG4 postcode covers the full range of Nottingham housing stock from Victorian terraces to 1960s concrete tile estates, which means we carry a wider range of materials for Carlton jobs than for most other areas.
Every re-roof includes a complete deck inspection. We check every rafter, purlin and wall plate for rot, woodworm and structural movement. Rotten timbers are cut back to sound wood and replaced with pressure-treated C24 graded softwood. We install breathable roofing membrane with 150mm overlaps and ventilated ridge systems to meet current Building Regulations. Proper ventilation prevents the condensation damage that rots timbers from above and adds decades to the life of the new roof. If loft insulation is below the recommended 270mm, we advise topping up while the roof is open.
A re-roof is a significant project but it should not disrupt your daily life. In Carlton, we erect scaffold the day before work begins so the team can start immediately. Your home is weathertight every evening — we never leave an exposed roof overnight. Inside, you may hear noise during working hours but the interior is not accessed. We lay dust sheets on any external pathways and clean the site daily. Most Carlton re-roofs complete within 3-7 working days depending on size and complexity. We give you a daily update on progress and flag immediately if we discover anything unexpected beneath the old covering.
We ask for no more than 20 percent deposit on any job. The balance is due on completion and your satisfaction. We accept bank transfer, cheque and card payment. For larger projects over £5,000, we offer staged payments tied to milestones — typically deposit, mid-point and completion — so you are never paying for work that has not been done. Every payment triggers a receipt and your guarantee documentation is issued on final payment.
After the job is complete, we do a final walkthrough with you to check every detail. Any snags are fixed on the spot. We photograph the completed work for your records and for our portfolio. Your 10-year workmanship guarantee is issued in writing with our company details, the work specification, and the date of completion. If any issue arises within the guarantee period, call 0115 670 1242 and we will return to inspect and resolve it at no charge. We have been honouring this guarantee across Nottingham since 2005 and we have never refused a valid guarantee claim.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Honest quote from a local Carlton roofer.
