What We Do
Roofing Contractor Hinckley — The Local Team Hinckley Counts On
When a roof starts causing trouble, most people aren't looking for a hard sell. They want a straight answer, a fair price, and someone who actually turns up when they said they would. That's the foundation Tate & Sons Roofing is built on. From our base at 10 Brosdale Drive, we look after homes and commercial premises right across Hinckley and the wider Hinckley & Bosworth area, handling everything from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof on an older property.
Being local genuinely matters in a trade like this. Our roofers know the streets and the lanes, the work gets passed from neighbour to neighbour, and our name travels across LE10 the old-fashioned way — by recommendation. So when people search for "roofers near me" or a "roofer in Hinckley", we'd like the honest, well-finished job to be the one they hear about. In a market town this size, that keeps us honest: a roof that lets you down gets talked about just as quickly as one still keeping a family dry years later, and we'd far rather be known for the second.
As a full-service roofing contractor covering both domestic and commercial work, we've built real depth across the whole trade rather than dabbling here and there. Here's what that covers — and what makes us different.
New Roofs, Re-Roofing & New Builds in Hinckley
When a roof has had its day, we carry out complete replacements and re-roofs, alongside new-build and pitched-roof construction.
We work in traditional slate and clay tile to suit the area's older and character homes, as well as concrete tile and modern systems for contemporary builds. Our new-build and pitched-roof work covers everything from a single garage roof replacement to full residential schemes, and we're equally at home fitting EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat-roof systems.
Where a roof is being renewed, we'll also handle dry-ridge and dry-verge upgrades that get rid of the cracking mortar responsible for so much trouble on older properties — and we'll prepare a roof properly for solar panels while access is already in place.
Typical re-roofing and new-roof work includes:
- Full strip-and-re-roof with new battens, breathable membrane and tiles
- Pitched-roof construction and new-build roofing
- Slate, clay and concrete tiled roofs
- Garage, extension and dormer roofs
- Dry-ridge and dry-verge upgrades to end mortar cracking for good

Residential Roof Repairs & Emergency Call-Outs
Leaks have a habit of arriving at the worst possible time. We handle the full range of repairs — emergency call-outs, storm damage, slipped and cracked tiles, flat-roof repair, felt, rubber and fibreglass repairs, slate and metal roof repair, and ridge-tile rebedding. The most common jobs we're called out on around Hinckley are:
- Missing, slipped or cracked tiles and slates
- Leaks and water staining on ceilings or in the loft
- Storm and wind damage
- Failed or perished lead flashing around chimneys and valleys
- Loose or cracked ridge tiles needing rebedding
A lot of what gets reported as a roof leak actually begins somewhere else — a worn valley, a cracked verge, a tired length of flashing or a blocked gutter — so we always trace the water back to where it's really getting in, rather than treating the symptom and hoping for the best. That diagnostic approach is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails the moment the weather turns again.

Specialist Roofing Systems & Leadwork
Some roofs call for a particular system or a sympathetic hand. We install EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat roofs, standing-seam metal, Onduline, green roof systems, and the dry-ridge and dry-verge systems that modernise an ageing roofline. We're also fibreglass (GRP) and flat-roofing specialists — increasingly the system of choice for extensions, garages and dormers across Hinckley.
We carry out lead work and lead flashing to a high standard — essential on chimneys, valleys and abutments — and take on heritage and listed-building roofing, loft-conversion roofing, and solar-panel roof preparation.
Around Hinckley that specialist knowledge earns its keep: the Victorian terraces left behind by the town's hosiery and framework-knitting heyday need careful tile and slate detailing, while the older stone and brick homes scattered through the surrounding villages reward roofers who understand traditional construction rather than treating every job as a blank sheet.

Commercial & Industrial Roofing in Hinckley
For business premises we handle commercial and industrial roofing installations and repairs, large flat-roof systems, and planned maintenance — all geared around keeping a building watertight with as little disruption as possible. From industrial units off the M69 and Watling Street corridor to retail premises and offices in the town centre, we work for landlords, developers and facilities managers as well as homeowners. 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 and keep premises operational wherever we can.

Roof Maintenance & Free Drone Surveys
Looking after a roof is far cheaper than rebuilding one. Our free drone surveys let us inspect a roof safely and show you exactly what's going on up there — no guesswork, and no scaffolding just to take a look. Regular maintenance also includes:
- Roof cleaning and moss & algae removal
- Protective roof coatings and sealing
- Bird proofing for solar panels
- Homebuyer roof inspections and condition reports
…everything needed to extend a roof's life and head off problems before they take hold.

Chimney Service Hinckley β Keeping the Stack Watertight and Sound
A tired chimney is one of the most common causes of damp and leaks in older homes around Hinckley, and it's an area plenty of general builders get wrong. The stack sits at the most exposed point on the roof, takes the full force of the weather funnelling in along the old Watling Street corridor, and relies on sound lead and pointing to stay watertight. When either fails, water finds its way in fast.
Our Hinckley chimney services cover:
- Chimney stack repairs and full rebuilds
- Chimney removal where a stack is redundant
- Repointing and re-haunching
- Renewal of lead flashing around chimneys
- Chimney pot installation and replacement
- Cap installation, weatherproofing, and bird guard & cowl fitting
Because chimney faults so often masquerade as general roof leaks, our drone survey pays for itself here β we can pinpoint a cracked crown, a failed haunching or perished flashing without anyone needing to go up, then give you a clear, no-nonsense quote for putting it right. Whether your stack needs a simple repoint or a full rebuild, we'll keep it structurally sound and watertight for years to come.

Guttering Service Hinckley β Rainwater Management That Protects the Whole Building
Good rainwater management protects far more than the roof. When gutters block, sag or leak, water spills down the walls, soaks into fascias and soffits, and quietly causes the kind of hidden damage that turns into a far bigger bill down the line. Sorting the guttering is one of the cheapest, highest-value jobs a homeowner can do β and it's work we carry out across Hinckley & Bosworth every week.
We install and replace guttering, handle gutter repairs and valley gutter repairs, and fit and renew fascias and soffits in timber and UPVC. On period properties we restore and replace traditional cast-iron guttering sympathetically, and where a more durable upgrade suits the building we fit aluminium and zinc systems. For a complete refresh, our full UPVC roofline installation ties guttering, fascias and soffits together into one tidy, low-maintenance system.
Warning signs your guttering needs attention:
- Staining or green algae streaking down the brickwork
- Plants or moss taking root in the channel
- Water sheeting over the edge in heavy rain
- Sagging runs or gaps at the joints
If you've noticed any of those, it's worth getting ahead of it. We'll inspect the whole roofline, tell you honestly what needs doing and what doesn't, and keep the water flowing cleanly off your roof where it belongs.

See It Before We Quote It — Free Drone Roof Surveys
Most roofing quotes ask you to take a lot on trust. Ours don't. Our free drone survey lets us inspect your roof safely and in detail, then show you precisely what's going on up there — no scaffolding just to take a look, and no guesswork. You see the same footage we do, so when we recommend a repair or a replacement, the evidence makes the case rather than the salesman.
It's a small thing that changes the whole relationship: there's no hard sell, because there doesn't need to be. If a repair will sort it, the survey shows it. If a roof has genuinely had its day, the survey shows that too. Either way, you get an honest assessment and a clear quote — and you keep your feet firmly on the ground.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions β Roofing in Hinckley
What should I budget for a new roof or a repair in Hinckley?
Every roof is different, so we never quote blind. As a rough industry guide, a full re-roof on a typical Hinckley semi tends to fall somewhere between Β£6,500 and Β£14,500 depending on size, pitch and whether you go for concrete, clay or natural slate, while smaller repairs such as a few slipped or cracked tiles usually land between Β£150 and a few hundred pounds. What we promise is a clear, itemised quote in plain English with no obligation, a fair price, and nothing added on later β based on a free drone survey of what your roof actually needs rather than an inflated guess.
Is it smarter to patch up my roof or replace it altogether?
It depends entirely on the roof's age and condition. A few isolated issues β a slipped tile, a localised leak, a tired stretch of flashing β are almost always worth repairing. But once roughly a quarter or more of the covering is failing, the felt underlay has gone, or you're chasing leak after leak on a roof that's past its design life, repeated patch-ups can quietly cost more than a single re-roof would. We'll show you the drone footage and give you the honest answer, not the
How many years should a new roof actually last?
With a proper installation, concrete tiles typically last around 40β60 years, clay tiles 60 years or more, and natural slate can comfortably exceed a century. Modern flat-roof systems such as EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass generally give 20β30 years or more. The biggest factor is the quality of the fit and the detailing β which is exactly where a careful, directly employed team earns its keep.expensive one.
Will I need planning permission to re-roof my Hinckley home?
For a like-for-like replacement using similar materials, you usually won't. It's a different matter for listed buildings or properties in a conservation area β and there are a few of those around the villages we cover, such as Stoke Golding β where consent may be required. We'll flag anything like that early, before any work begins.
How long will the job take from start to finish?
Most repairs are a same-day or single-visit job. A full re-roof on a typical home generally takes anywhere from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the size, the pitch, the weather, and whether anything unexpected turns up once the old covering is off. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote, not an optimistic one.
How can I tell whether my roof needs urgent attention?
There are a few tell-tale signs worth keeping an eye on. Inside, damp patches, staining or daylight visible in the loft are often the first clues, along with damp or peeling plaster on your upstairs ceilings and walls. From the outside, look for slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, granules or debris collecting in the gutters, and any sagging areas or a visibly dipping ridge line. If you spot any of these, a free drone survey will tell you how serious it is before it becomes an expensive problem.
Are you insured, and is your work guaranteed?
Our work is [fully insured / backed by relevant accreditations β add your specifics], every roofer is fully trained, and completed work is backed by a [X-year] workmanship guarantee. The same team that fits your roof is still around to put things right in the unlikely event you ever need them.
Do you charge for quotes, surveys or call-outs?
No. Both the quote and the drone survey are completely free and carry no obligation. We'd rather give you an honest assessment and let you decide in your own time than pressure anyone into work they're not sure about.
Will you make a mess of my garden and driveway?
No. We look after your property the way we'd want ours looked after β clean, well-organised sites, gardens and driveways protected, and everything cleared away properly before we leave.
