Roofer in Tupton

We're based in North Wingfield, roughly two miles from Tupton, and cover both Old Tupton and New Tupton.

Tupton was tiny for most of its history. In 1841 there were 54 houses and 317 people, scattered across farmsteads in the parish of North Wingfield. Coal was already being worked at Tupton Green, and when the North Midland Railway arrived in 1840 the village began to grow into a proper township, with many of its residents working at the colliery.

That growth left Tupton with roofs from several different eras. Victorian and Edwardian housing around Queen Victoria Road and the older roads off the A61. Mid-century homes. And newer development around Ankerbold Road on the edge of the village towards North Wingfield.

Each of those needs something different.

Older houses: slate and stacks. On Tupton's older homes, the common jobs are slipped slates from nail fatigue, chimney stacks with failed pointing and flashing, and ridges letting go. A handful of slipped slates is a repair. Slates slipping all over the roof usually means the nails have rusted through everywhere.

Mid-century homes: tiles and ridges. Concrete tiled roofs from this period are often reaching the end now. Ridge mortar cracks, tiles lose their surface and hold moss, and gutters fill up as a result.

Newer homes around Ankerbold Road: roofline and dry verge. Newer roofs don't usually need replacing, but they do have their own problems. Plastic dry verge caps crack or blow off in high winds, gutters get blocked, and fascias and soffits get damaged. These are smaller jobs and worth catching early.

Flat roofs. Garage and extension flat roofs in old felt split at the seams and start holding water after 10 to 15 years.

We go up and look, take photos, and give you a written price before anything starts. On a newer home where it's a few verge caps and a gutter, that's what we'll quote for.
