Tower blends period main-street terraces with 1970s–2000s semis and newer estates, so its roofs span natural slate, concrete tile and modern dry-ridge systems. Here's what we work on across the town.
Tower's older terraces are typically natural slate with chimney stacks — slate slippage, eroded pointing and lead-flashing failure are the recurring issues.
Much of Tower's housing is concrete-tiled semis now reaching the point where a full re-roof with breathable membrane and a dry-ridge system beats repeated repairs.
Newer parts of Tower use dry-ridge systems and Velux units — displaced ridges and failed seals are common, easily-fixed issues.
Extensions, garages and flat sections across Tower are best re-covered in GRP or EPDM for a 20–25 year, low-maintenance finish.

It depends on the roof's age and condition. Tower's older slate and concrete-tiled roofs reaching end of life are often better value fully re-roofed, while sound roofs just need targeted repairs. We give an honest assessment at inspection.
