Roofer in Grassmoor

We're based in North Wingfield, about three miles from Grassmoor, and cover the village and the surrounding parish of Grassmoor, Hasland and Winsick.

Grassmoor Colliery worked from the 1840s until 1967. Like the villages around it, Grassmoor housed the miners, and by the mid-1980s every local pit had closed.

The old colliery land is now Grassmoor Country Park, with its ponds and woodland, and it's the start of the Five Pits Trail, which follows the old railway out through Holmewood and Pilsley to Tibshelf.

The houses built for the pit are still here, and that's where most of our Grassmoor work comes from. Terraced housing built in the same years, by the same people, for the same workforce, has roofs that have aged together.

Ridges first. On older Grassmoor roofs, the ridge is usually the first thing to go. Mortar cracks, pieces fall onto the path, and in a strong wind tiles can come off altogether. If yours still sit firm, repointing can do. If they rock, they need re-bedding or a dry ridge system.

Slipped and cracked tiles. Ageing concrete tiles lose their surface, crack and slip. A few is a repair. A whole roof of them is a re-roof conversation, and we'll explain the difference honestly.

Chimneys. Old stacks with failed pointing and lead flashings are one of the most common sources of leaks. A damp patch on the chimney breast or a stain on the ceiling near the stack is the usual sign.

Moss and gutters. Damp north-facing roof slopes collect moss, which holds water against the tiles and washes down into the gutters, blocking them. Blocked gutters then overflow down the wall.

We get up and look properly, take photos of what we find, and give you a written price. No pressure, and the job's finished before we move on.
