Trust Roofing Services — FREE Drone Survey Available

Kirkby in Ashfield sits within easy reach of our base in nearby Hucknall, and it's one of the towns our roofing crews are out in regularly — from urgent roof repairs on the older brick terraces near the Old Market Place to full re-roofs further out on the town's newer estates. Every job starts the same way: a free drone roof survey by a CAA-registered operator, giving you HD footage and a plain-English report, followed by a closer roof survey if anything on the footage needs a nearer look before we recommend any work.

Pricing a Roofing Job in Kirkby in Ashfield: What Changes the Number

What you pay depends on the type of roof (pitched or flat), its size and pitch, how much of the existing timber and structure is sound, and the material you choose — slate, concrete or clay tiles on a pitched roof, or felt, GRP fibreglass or Firestone EPDM rubber on a flat roof. A small repair, such as re-bedding a few ridge tiles or patching a flat roof upstand, costs a good deal less than a full re-roof or a chimney removal, and access — scaffolding, roof height, nearby trees or power lines — also affects the price.

Because the spread is so wide, we don't quote over the phone: every job starts with the free drone survey, and a closer inspection where the footage shows it's needed, so the figure you're given reflects your actual roof rather than a generic estimate. Every quote is written and itemised, with nothing added once work is underway. For an accurate price on your property, arrange a site visit or drone survey with us.

Slate, Concrete, Clay or Rubber: Picking the Right Covering

  • Slate tiles — natural stone, Class A fire rating, wide range of colours. Typically used on pitched roofs.
  • Concrete tiles — durable and cost-effective, but heavier, needing a roof structure that can take the load. Typically used on pitched roofs.
  • Clay tiles — natural material, Class A fire rating, a distinctive traditional finish. Typically used on pitched roofs.
  • Bitumen/felt — durable, weatherproof and a budget-friendly option for a new flat roof.
  • GRP fibreglass — seamless, low-maintenance, strong weatherproof barrier, used on flat roofs, commercial and domestic.
  • Firestone EPDM rubber — we're an approved RubberCover installer, with manufacturer warranties up to 20+ years available on flat roofs.

From an Old Market Place Terrace to a New Estate Build: A Typical Kirkby Job

Two calls we get regularly from Kirkby in Ashfield show how differently a job can run, though our family-run crew — working out of Hucknall for more than 15 years — handles both the same way from first phone call to final clean-up. One caller is often ringing about a terrace near the Old Market Place: an older slate roof with crumbling mortar around the ridge and a chimney stack that's started to lean. The other is from one of the newer estates on the edge of town, where a full re-roof is wanted rather than another round of patch repairs.

Both start the same way: we book in a free drone survey with a CAA-registered operator, so before anyone climbs a ladder we've already got HD footage of the ridge line, valleys and chimney stack in front of us. On the slate terrace that footage might show slipped tiles and failing pointing that a repair can put right; on the estate roof it more often points to worn felt underlay and tiles past their best, which tips the conversation toward a full replacement. Either way, what follows is a written, itemised quote — not a verbal figure that changes once we're up there — and the roofers who turn up on the day are CSCS-certified and work to NFRC standards, covered by our public and employer's liability insurance. If the job includes a flat roof section, such as a dormer or rear extension, we're an approved Firestone RubberCover installer, so that gets fitted properly too. By the time we're packing up — whether it's a repointed chimney on an Old Market Place terrace or a brand-new tiled roof on an estate build — the work carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee, and because everything we use is BBA approved, some materials come with a manufacturer warranty running to 20+ years on top.

Kirkby in Ashfield: NG17, the Old Market Place and What's Nearby

Kirkby in Ashfield sits in the NG17 postcode area, a short drive north of our Hucknall base, with the Old Market Place and its Grade II-listed Town Hall marking the historic heart of the town and newer housing spreading out toward the edge of it. It's effectively the halfway point between Hucknall and its larger neighbours Sutton in Ashfield and Mansfield, both a few miles further north, which keeps it comfortably within the patch our vans cover most weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roofers in Kirkby in Ashfield

What roofing services do you offer in Kirkby in Ashfield?

We cover the full range of pitched and flat roofing work for homes and businesses in Kirkby in Ashfield, including roof repairs, full replacements, maintenance, inspections, restoration, chimney repair and removal, and re-tiling. We install slate, concrete and clay tiled roofs as well as felt, GRP fibreglass and Firestone EPDM rubber flat roofs.

How does the free drone roof survey work?

A CAA-registered drone operator flies over your roof and captures HD footage of areas that would otherwise need scaffolding or a ladder to see, such as ridge lines, valleys and chimney stacks. We then talk you through what the footage shows in plain English, with a written report, before recommending any work — there's no obligation to proceed.

Is my quote likely to change once work starts?

No. Every quote we give is written and itemised and covers everything identified from the survey. If something unexpected turns up once we're on the roof, such as hidden timber rot, we'll always discuss it and agree a price with you before doing any extra work rather than adding it to the bill afterwards.

Do you repair flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?

Yes. We repair and replace both — pitched roofs in slate, concrete and clay tile, and flat roofs in felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks around joints and upstands, so if you've noticed damp patches or ponding water, it's worth getting it looked at before the next spell of wet weather.

How long does a roof replacement take?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material chosen and how much of the existing structure needs attention, which is exactly why we survey before quoting a timescale as well as a price. Once the work is agreed, we plan it to keep disruption to a minimum and work to the schedule we've given you.

Are you insured and guaranteed?

Yes. We carry public liability and employer's liability insurance as standard, and we'll provide proof on request before work begins. All completed roofing work carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee, and materials come with manufacturer warranties of up to 20+ years on select products, on top of our own guarantee.

Do you deal with chimney repairs, or only roofs?

Both. Chimneys are one of the most common sources of leaks and damage on a roof, so we repair, repoint and, where needed, remove chimneys as part of our roofing service rather than treating them as a separate trade.

How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?

Signs to look out for include missing, cracked or slipped tiles, crumbling mortar around ridge tiles or chimneys, damp patches on ceilings, and a roof approaching or past 20 years old. A drone survey gives a clear picture of which category your roof falls into, and we'll recommend repair over replacement wherever that's the more sensible option.

Don't Wait on a Small Roof Problem

Roof problems rarely stay the same size — a slipped tile or a small leak left over winter tends to mean more timber and more cost by spring. Book a free drone survey and you'll have a clear, written picture of what your roof actually needs, with no obligation to go ahead.
