Chesterfield is the town at the heart of everywhere we work. We're based just down the road near Clay Cross, and most of our weeks are spent on roofs across Chesterfield itself — from the terraces pressed tight around the famous crooked spire to the post-war estates stretching out toward the villages.
What marks Chesterfield out is the sheer range of roofing stock packed into one town. The centre is dense with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, much of it original slate now into nail fatigue. North and east, the former industrial areas run into solid brick terracing built for the old works and the pit. South and west, the more settled residential areas — Brampton, Brockwell, Ashgate, Walton — carry interwar and post-war semis alongside the odd stretch of newer estate. Different stock, different ages, different failures.
That variety is exactly why a local roofer matters. A slate roof on a Whittington Moor terrace fails in a different way to a concrete-tile semi in Hasland, and both differ again from a stone cottage up at Old Brampton. We know the stock because we work on it week in, week out, and we quote what's actually there rather than guessing from the pavement.
We cover the whole of Chesterfield and the villages around it — Hasland, Brimington, Walton, Newbold, Whittington Moor, Staveley, Wingerworth, Calow and the rest — with the full range of the trade: new roofs and re-roofs, roof repairs, emergency call-out, flat roofing, chimneys, pointing, leadwork, guttering and slating and tiling. One firm, one written quote, the job finished before we move on.
