We are a Mansfield-based roofing company and Edwinstowe is 20 minutes from our yard, so we are there most weeks. Everything we do in Mansfield we do in Edwinstowe at the same prices — repairs, full re-roofs, flat roofing, roofline, chimneys and lead work — with free quotations and no call-out charge.
Roofs in Edwinstowe
Edwinstowe sits on the edge of Sherwood Forest, and the tree cover means more moss, more blocked gutters and more shaded north-facing pitches holding damp than almost anywhere else we work. Regular gutter clearing and periodic moss treatment make a real difference to how long roofs last here. We also cover Clipstone Village and the Center Parcs side of the village.
What we are usually called out for
The pattern across north Nottinghamshire is fairly consistent. A great deal of the housing stock went up between the 1930s and the 1960s, which means roof coverings that are now somewhere between 60 and 90 years old. The tiles or slates themselves are frequently sound — it is the bitumen underlay beneath them, the battens and the nails that have reached the end of their working life. That is why a roof can look perfectly respectable from the pavement and still be letting water into the loft.
Alongside that, we do a steady volume of mortar work. Ridge and hip tiles bedded in mortar in the middle of the last century are now dropping their pointing, and the first serious wind of the winter finds them. Dry-fixed systems solve it permanently, and they are not much more expensive than doing the mortar again.
Emergency roofing in Edwinstowe
If something has come off in a gale, or water is coming into the property, ring 01623 454545 whatever the hour. We will make it safe first and carry out the permanent repair in daylight, and we will photograph everything so you have what your insurer will ask for. See emergency roofing for what that involves.
Free quotes, no call-out charge
There is no charge to come out and look at a roof in Edwinstowe, and no obligation attached to the quote. You get a written, itemised, fixed price including any scaffolding or access equipment, with photographs of what we found. If the honest answer is that you need a £200 repair rather than the re-roof somebody else quoted, that is what we will put in writing.
