What We Do
Roofing Contractor Melton Mowbray — Complete Roofing Services, Done Properly First Time
In a town this size, a roofing firm lives or dies by its reputation. Our roofers know the streets running off Nottingham Road and Burton Street as well as the lanes winding out into the Wolds — and most of our work comes the way it always has in a market town, one neighbour telling another. Whether you've searched "roofers near me", "roof repair near me" or a specific job, there's a strong chance we handle it in-house with our own people.
Because we're hands-on rather than chasing volume, the person who quotes your job is part of the same team that carries it out — no anonymous call centre, no disappearing act once the deposit clears.
Roof Repairs & Emergency Call-Outs in Melton Mowbray
Leaks have a knack for arriving at the worst possible time. A good share of what gets reported as a roof leak actually starts somewhere else entirely, so rather than patching the symptom and hoping for the best, we trace the water back to where it's really getting in — often a tired valley, a failed flashing or a split verge.
- Emergency roof repair and storm-damage call-outs
- Leaking roof repairs and roof restorations
- Flat roof, felt, rubber, fibreglass, slate and metal roof repair
- Ridge tile repairs and rebedding — one of the most common faults on older Melton terraces
Re-Roofing, Roof Replacement & New Builds
When a roof has reached the end of the road, patching it any further is throwing good money after bad. We carry out full re-roofs and roof replacements alongside new-build and pitched-roof construction, working in traditional slate and clay tile to suit the town's older and character homes, and in concrete tile, corrugated and metal systems where they're the right call. Dry-ridge and dry-verge upgrades do away with the crumbling mortar that causes endless grief on older properties, and we'll prepare a roof properly for solar panels too.

- Full roof replacement and re-roofing

Flat Roofing & Specialist Roofing Systems
Flat and contemporary roofs ask for modern materials, properly installed. We fit EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt roofing for flat roofs, extensions, dormers and garages, standing-seam and metal roofing for contemporary projects, and detailed lead work where older roofs need it. We also take on heritage and listed-building roofing for the older properties around Melton that need restoration rather than a clean sheet.
- EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat roofing
- Felt roofing for flat roofs, dormers and garages
- Standing seam and metal roofing
- Lead work and lead flashing
- Heritage and listed-building roofing
- Green roofs, Onduline and loft-conversion roofing

Commercial & Industrial Roofing in Leicestershire
For business premises we take on commercial and industrial roofing, repairs, flat-roof systems and planned maintenance, all built around keeping a building watertight with as little disruption as possible. We know that for a commercial client the real cost is downtime, not just the roof itself — so we work to schedules that respect it, out of hours where it matters and phased where it has to be.

Roof Maintenance & Free Drone Roof Surveys
The cheapest roof problem is the one you catch early. Our free drone roof surveys let us inspect a roof safely and show you exactly what's happening up there — no guesswork, and no scaffolding just to take a look. Alongside surveys we offer roof cleaning, moss and algae removal, roof coatings and sealing, and bird proofing for solar panels.

Chimney Service Melton Mowbray — Keeping the Stack Watertight & Sound
A neglected chimney is one of the most common sources of damp and leaks in older Melton homes. Stacks take the full force of the weather year in and year out, and once the pointing softens or the flashing lifts, water finds its way in long before anyone spots a stain on the ceiling. We put it right at the source — stack repairs, rebuilds and removals, repointing and renewed lead flashing, chimney pots, cowls, bird guards and weatherproof capping. Whether you've got a stack that's visibly leaning, mortar you can rake out with a finger, or a persistent damp patch nobody's got to the bottom of, we'll tell you honestly what the stack needs — and what it doesn't.
Guttering Service Melton Mowbray — Protecting the Whole Building
Good rainwater management protects far more than the roof itself. When gutters block, sag or split, water spills down walls instead of running away cleanly — and the slow, hidden damage that follows, to render, brickwork and foundations, turns into far heavier bills down the line. We install and replace guttering, fascias and soffits, fit complete UPVC roofline systems, restore traditional cast-iron guttering on period homes, and supply aluminium and zinc systems where a lower-maintenance modern option makes more sense. Valley gutter repairs — a frequent culprit behind leaks on complex roofs — are part of the day-to-day too.

Why Melton Mowbray Chooses Tate & Sons Roofing
Our own team, start to finish — the person who prices your job is part of the same crew that carries it out. Our roofers are directly employed and trained in-house, not a rotating cast of subcontractors, and the same familiar faces come back for any aftercare.
A fair price, in plain English — a clear, no-obligation fixed-price quote with nothing slipped on at the end. No hard sell: if a repair will sort it, that's what we'll tell you.
Local knowledge that shapes the work — Melton's Georgian and Victorian streets need sympathetic tile and slate detailing, while the ironstone and brick homes through the villages call for roofers who understand traditional construction. Out across the Wolds, exposed plots take a real battering from the wind — and knowing that lets us anticipate the trouble before it starts.

Got Questions?
Roofing in Melton Mowbray — Frequently Asked Questions
What should I budget for a new roof or full re-roof in Melton Mowbray?
Every roof is different, so the honest answer is "it depends" — on size, pitch, materials and access. As a rough 2026 guide, UK roof repairs commonly run from a couple of hundred pounds to around £1,500, while a full re-roof typically lands somewhere in the low-to-mid thousands. Rather than guess, we give you a free, fixed, written quote after the drone survey, with nothing added on at the end.
Is it better to repair my roof or replace it?
Often a repair is all it takes — and if so, that's exactly what we'll tell you. We only recommend full replacement when a roof has genuinely reached the end of its life, and when we do, we back it up with drone footage so you can see the evidence rather than take our word for it.
How much do common roof repairs cost?
As a 2026 benchmark: slipped or broken tiles typically run £150–£500, lead flashing around a chimney £200–£600, a flat-roof patch £200–£800, and an emergency leak call-out £150–£400, with scaffolding adding more on two-storey work. We confirm everything in writing before we start.
How long does a new roof last?
It depends on the material: concrete and clay tiles typically last 50–60 years, natural slate can exceed 100 years, and felt or EPDM flat roofs usually need replacing after 20–30 years. Fitted properly and maintained, a new roof from us is a decades-long investment.
Will I need planning permission to replace my roof?
Usually not. A like-for-like replacement with the same materials and profile generally doesn't need planning permission, but changing the material or appearance — or working on a listed building or in a conservation area, which applies to parts of Melton Mowbray and the Vale of Belvoir — can. We'll advise on your specific property.
Does home insurance cover roof repairs?
Most UK buildings insurance covers sudden, unexpected damage such as storms or fallen trees, but not gradual wear and tear or a roof that's simply reached the end of its life. After storm damage we're happy to document the work to support a claim.
How long will the work take, and will it disrupt my home or business?
Small repairs are often a same-day or single-visit job, while a full re-roof on a typical three- to four-bedroom home usually takes around 5–10 working days, weather permitting. For commercial clients we work around your hours to keep downtime to a minimum, and we give you a realistic timescale up front rather than a vague promise.
Do you cover my village, and do you take on both homes and businesses?
We cover Melton Mowbray and the surrounding villages — Asfordby, Frisby on the Wreake, the Vale of Belvoir villages, Waltham on the Wolds, Wymondham, Bottesford, Old Dalby and Nether Broughton — for homeowners, landlords and commercial clients alike. If you're nearby and not on the list, just ask.
What insurance and accreditations does your roofing team carry?
Yes. We carry public liability and employer's liability insurance, so your property and our team are covered while we're on site, and our roofers are NVQ-qualified and trained in-house. We're happy to show documentation before any work starts, and every job is backed by our 10-Year Workmanship Guarantee.
