Roofers in Nuneaton

Nuneaton, the largest town in Warwickshire, sits on the River Anker beside the old Bedworth coalfield and was home to the novelist Mary Ann Evans, better known as George Eliot. Its centre is a working market town of brick-built Victorian housing from the ribbon-weaving and mining years, slated in Welsh slate, with canal-side industry threaded through and later estates in interlocking concrete tile behind.

This is landlocked Midlands country, so corrosion is rarely the issue; the enemy is simply steady rain and the legacy of worked-out ground, which can tease older roof junctions apart. A settling roof is worth a surveyor's eye rather than filler. Where a slate covering has reached the end of its nailed life, re-covering the whole slope is more economical than chasing slipped slates year after year, and chimney and party-wall gutters are best tackled street by street. Estate roofs raise the plainer question of patch, overhaul or replace.
