Roofing in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire
Kirkby-in-Ashfield is a former mining town with terraced streets, 1930s and post-war semis and newer estates. It’s close to our Mansfield base, so we can usually get out to look at a roof quickly.
Ex-colliery terraces and semis are solid houses, but after decades of weather their roofs start to show it. We regularly replace broken tiles, rebuild or re-bed ridges, fit dry verge, renew lead around chimneys and replace felt roofs on kitchens and garages with GRP or EPDM.
We don’t push people towards a new roof. Where a repair or a roof upgrade will do the job, that’s what we’ll recommend, with photos so you can see what we’ve found. We work in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Annesley and Selston too; there’s more on the Mansfield page.

Common Roof Problems in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
If you live in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, these are the roof issues most worth keeping an eye on:
- Crumbling verges – mortar at the gable ends washes out and lets tiles move; a dry verge system is a low-maintenance fix.
- Chimney leaks – worn lead flashings, cracked flaunching and open mortar joints let water in around the stack.
- Leaking flat roofs – felt on extensions, garages and dormers usually fails first at the joints and upstands.
- Overflowing gutters – sagging or blocked gutters send water down the walls, causing damp and rotten fascias.
- Moss and debris – heavy moss holds water against tiles and blocks gutters, which speeds up wear.
Most of these can be put right with a targeted repair if they’re caught early. If you’ve noticed any of them, a free roof inspection is the best place to start.
Roof Upgrades in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Before you pay for a new roof, it’s worth getting a second opinion. Many roofs we look at in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield still have a sound structure and just need the worn parts sorting out.
That’s what a roof upgrade is: targeted repairs and replacements that extend the life of the roof you already have, for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Where a full re-roof really is needed, we’ll tell you honestly and explain why.
How We Work in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
- Get in touch – call John on 07312 275831 or send a message with your postcode and a short description of the problem.
- Roof inspection – we visit, check the roof properly and take photos of anything that needs attention.

During the inspection we check the whole roof, including chimneys, leadwork, gutters and any flat roofs, not just the part you’ve noticed.
When to Get Your Roof Checked
Call us if you spot any of the following:
- Water marks on ceilings or damp patches in the loft
- Damp patches on a chimney breast
- A dip or sag along the ridge line
- Daylight showing through the roof boards
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Small problems caught early are nearly always cheaper to fix than the damage they cause if they’re left.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair flat roofs?
Yes. We repair and replace flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass, and apply liquid coatings such as Arboflex and Flexitec.
Will you send photos of the problem?
Yes. We take photos during the inspection so you can see exactly what we’ve found and why we’re recommending the work.
Do you charge for a quote?
No. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation to go ahead.
Can my roof be upgraded instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the roof structure is sound, replacing the worn parts can add years of life for far less than a new roof. We’ll inspect it and tell you honestly.
Do you work on commercial and rented properties?
Yes. As well as family homes, we work on commercial buildings and rented properties in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and the surrounding area.
How much does a roof repair cost in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
It depends on the size of the job and how easy the roof is to reach. Small repairs, such as replacing a few tiles, cost much less than work that needs scaffolding. Quotes are free, so you’ll know the price before any work starts.

Yes. Dry-fix systems replace crumbling mortar on ridges and gable ends with mechanically fixed parts that need far less maintenance.
