Large stretches of Upton, Cippenham and Wexham are 1930s semi-detached housing, roofed originally in concrete interlocking tiles with sand-and-cement bedded ridges. Ninety years on, that mortar bedding is very often the first thing to fail, cracked, hollow or missing altogether, and it is one of the most common call-outs we get from these streets. Chalvey and the older parts of central Slough carry a mix of Victorian and early-twentieth-century terraces alongside later infill, and the roofs here have usually had at least one previous repair, not all of it done well. We regularly find valleys and flashings patched with mastic or bitumen rather than properly re-formed in lead, which buys a season or two before the leak returns, usually worse. Langley, further east, mixes similar interwar terraces with larger post-war estates and pockets of newer housing, and we see the same pattern of ageing mortar and tired flashings repeated across it. Slough also has a lot of flat roofing that other Berkshire towns see less of: rear extensions, garages, and the flat-roofed sections common on commercial and light-industrial buildings along the edges of the town, where Slough's trading estates sit close to residential streets. Many of these flat roofs are now well past a sensible repair point, on their second or third patch, with soft decking underneath a covering that has been overlaid rather than replaced. The town also has a higher share of rented and multi-occupancy housing than some of its neighbours, which brings its own pressures, landlords needing a roof kept sound and compliant between tenancies, and tenants needing a leak dealt with quickly and without disruption. We quote fixed prices in writing either way, so a landlord managing several properties in Slough knows exactly what a job will cost before it starts. We are based a short drive away in Maidenhead, so Slough is a regular part of our working area rather than an occasional trip. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 10pm, and emergency repairs are available for storm damage and active leaks. If water is coming through now, call us and tell us; we will give you honest guidance on limiting the damage and on timing. ### Property types we work on here - 1930s interwar semis and terraces in Upton, Cippenham and Wexham - Victorian and early-twentieth-century terraces in Chalvey and central Slough - Post-war and later estate housing across Langley and the wider borough - Flat-roofed extensions and garages behind interwar and post-war housing stock - Rented and multi-occupancy (HMO) properties needing sound, compliant roofs between tenancies - Light-industrial and commercial premises with flat and low-pitch roofing near residential streets ### What we are most often called for - Re-bedding or replacing blown mortar on interwar ridges and hips - Lead flashing and valley repairs replacing old mastic and bitumen patches - Flat roof renewal on extensions, garages and outbuildings past their patch-repair life - Leak tracing on terraces that have had previous, poorly detailed repairs - Roof condition reports and repairs for landlords managing rented properties - Guttering, fascia and soffit repair where age and tree cover have caused damp and blockages Services available in Slough ## Every roofing and leadwork trade, delivered in Slough ### New Roofs & Complete Re-Roofing Full strip-and-recover roofs built to last, quoted at a fixed price and backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Smaller repairs are not covered unless confirmed in writing. ### Practical for landlords and tenants alike We give written fixed prices that make sense for landlords managing several properties, and we treat tenant call-outs with the same urgency as owner-occupier ones. Local roofing problems ## What goes wrong on Slough roofs, and why Slough's roofing problems track its rapid interwar and post-war growth closely. Here is what we see repeatedly across Upton, Langley, Cippenham, Chalvey and Wexham. ### Blown mortar on interwar semis The concrete interlocking tiles used across Upton, Cippenham and Wexham's 1930s semis were originally finished with sand-and-cement bedded ridges and hips. That mortar bedding has a working life measured in decades, not a century, and across these streets a large proportion of it is now cracked, loose or missing. The warning signs are mortar debris in the gutter, a visibly lifted ridge tile, or a damp patch appearing high on a bedroom ceiling after wind. Left alone, the loose tile becomes both a leak and a safety hazard over the pavement or driveway below, and we treat it as a priority repair rather than routine maintenance once we see it. ### Old patch repairs on Chalvey and central Slough terraces The older terraces around Chalvey and central Slough have often had at least one previous repair, and not all of it detailed properly. Mastic smeared over a cracked lead valley, or bitumen daubed over a flashing, is a common find; it looks like a fix but simply traps water against timber that then decays out of sight. We strip these patches back to sound material and re-form the detail correctly, usually in lead, so the roof actually sheds water rather than temporarily hiding the symptom. ### Flat roofs past their economic repair point Slough has a higher share of flat roofing than many neighbouring towns: on rear extensions, garages, and the light-industrial buildings that sit close to residential streets near the trading estates. Many of these are now on their second or third overlay, with a soft, saturated deck underneath. Overlaying a failed deck again is a false economy. We strip back to sound structure, correct the falls so water actually reaches the outlets, and detail the upstands and abutments properly rather than patch what is already failing beneath the surface. ### Rented and multi-occupancy housing stock Slough has a significant amount of rented and HMO housing, and roofs on these properties often carry deferred maintenance because responsibility for reporting problems is split between tenants, agents and landlords. A small leak can go unreported for months before it is picked up. For landlords, we provide a photographic condition report alongside any repair, which is useful evidence for both compliance and for planning future maintenance across a portfolio rather than reacting property by property. ### Guttering and damp from mature street trees Many of Slough's older residential streets, particularly in Chalvey and parts of Langley, have mature trees that shed leaves into gutters and valleys every autumn. Blocked guttering backs water up under the lowest courses of tile, where laps are shortest, and it finds its way into fascias and rafter feet. Left unaddressed for a few seasons, this shows up as rot in fascia boards and damp staining on internal ceilings near external walls. Clearing and checking gutters regularly is far cheaper than the repair that follows when they are ignored. ### Storm damage on exposed estate roofs The open, low-rise layout of many of Slough's post-war estates gives roofs relatively little shelter from wind, and the storms that cross southern England each winter regularly lift ridge tiles, strip verges and peel back flat roof coverings across these areas. After a storm, making the roof watertight quickly is the priority, followed by a proper photographic record. We write our reports so they can be passed to an insurer directly, without us making any claim about what a policy will or will not cover.
