Roofers in Bloxwich

Bloxwich is mostly 1930s to 1950s semi-detached housing around Stoney Lane, Broad Lane, Sneyd Lane and the Mossley estate, with older Victorian terraces along High Street and Elmore Green Road, and newer builds near Bloxwich North station.

The 1930s semis have the classic Bloxwich roof problem: original Marley Modern or Redland Renown concrete tiles, now 80 to 90 years old and delaminating, sitting on bituminous felt underlay that has perished. The big shared chimney stacks between the pairs are mostly unused since the gas fires went in, and the step and apron flashing has never been replaced. Mortar ridges that were re-bedded years ago are going again. These roofs are at the point where a repair buys time, but a full strip and re-roof with breathable membrane, new treated battens and a dry ridge system is often the right answer over a ten-year horizon.

The Victorian terraces on High Street and Elmore Green Road have slate, often nail-sick — the slates themselves are fine but the iron fixing nails have rusted through. Shared valleys and party wall flashings are where most of the leaks come from. The 1960s and 70s council houses on Mossley and Dudley Fields have low-pitch concrete tile roofs and flat-roof extensions with single-layer SBS felt that is long past its design life.
