What We Do
Roofing Contractor Loughborough — One Call Covers Every Roofing Job, Big or Small
Need a roofer in Loughborough you can actually trust? Tate & Sons brings the resource, technical expertise, and local know-how to handle any job — from a quick repair in Quorn to a major commercial install near Shepshed.
We're headquartered in Nottingham, with a dedicated Loughborough office at 5 Middleton Place, so you get the responsiveness of a local team backed by serious regional infrastructure.
Loughborough's housing stock is genuinely varied — Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, granite-built properties in Mountsorrel, post-war semis throughout Shepshed, and period stone homes in the villages around Charnwood Forest.
Each one throws up different roofing problems, and each one needs a contractor who specifies the right materials for the property, not just whatever's quickest. Over 40 services across new build, repair, commercial, maintenance, and specialist roofing — all delivered with an honest assessment, a clear price, and no upselling.
Here's what sets a genuine local roofing contractor apart from a one-man-band or a national call centre:
- A written, itemised quote before any work starts — no verbal promises
- A proper roof inspection, not just a look from ground level
- Materials specified to suit your property, not the cheapest available
- A workmanship guarantee you can actually rely on, confirmed in writing
New Build Roofing — Built Right From the First Tile
Commissioning a new property or extending one? Our team delivers new roof installation and pitched roof construction in every major material:
- EPDM rubber roofing
- GRP fibreglass roofing
- Flat roofing & felt roofing
- Slate roofs & clay roof tiling
- Concrete roof tiling
- Corrugated & metal roofing
We also handle roof replacement & re-roofing and garage roof replacement — a particular focus for the growing developments around Barrow-upon-Soar and East Leake.
Not sure which material's right for you? We'll talk you through the trade-offs — slate vs. composite, clay vs. concrete, flat vs. pitched — in plain English, with a clear spec on every quote.
As a rough guide, a typical re-roof on a 3-bed Loughborough semi runs from around £6,500 for concrete tile up to £14,000+ for natural slate, depending on size, pitch and access — but the only way to know your real number is a proper site survey, which is exactly what our free drone assessment gives you.

Residential Roof Repair — Fast, Honest Fixes That Last
A leak doesn't wait for a convenient day, and neither do we. We provide emergency roof repair, flat roof repair, felt roof repair, rubber roof repair, fibreglass roof repair, slate roof repair, and metal roof repair, plus full roof repairs and restorations.
Ridge tile repairs & rebedding is one of our most-requested jobs on the Victorian terraces around Sileby, and we also cover chimney repairs & re-pointing, valley & flashing repairs, and gutter & downpipe repairs — frequent culprits behind "roof" leaks that aren't actually roof leaks at all.
We diagnose first, fix second. A stain on the ceiling could be flashing, a cracked tile, a blocked gutter, or perished felt — guess wrong and the problem just comes back.A damp patch rarely shows you where the actual fault is — that's why we inspect the roof itself rather than guessing from inside the property.
For genuine emergencies, we prioritise making your property safe and watertight fast, then complete the permanent repair.

Commercial & Industrial Roofing — Minimal Downtime, Maximum Reliability
Retail units, warehouses, light industrial sites near Shepshed — we deliver commercial roofing, industrial roofing installation, commercial roof repair, and industrial roof repair, plus wall cladding & sheeting, asbestos roof overcladding, and commercial gutter lining systems like Plygene, across Syston and the wider Soar Valley.
Programme certainty matters as much as the roofing itself. We scope every commercial job around your operational hours, give clear timelines, and — through asbestos roof overcladding — can often modernise older industrial buildings without the cost and chaos of a full strip-out.

Specialist Roofing Systems — Heritage Expertise, Modern Performance
Period and conservation-area properties across Quorn, Rothley, and Woodhouse Eaves need more than a standard fix. We cover:
- Dry ridge & dry verge systems
- Lead work & lead flashing
- Standing seam roofing & Onduline roofing
- Green roof installation
- Heritage & listed building roofing
- Loft conversion roofing & solar panel roof preparation
- Liquid plastic applied membranes
- Warm roof insulation upgrades
- Zinc & copper architectural metalwork
Conservation rules, planning constraints, matching original materials — heritage roofing isn't a standard quote on a non-standard property, and our specialist team knows the difference. If your property sits within a conservation area or carries listed status, we'll factor any Article 4 directions or like-for-like material requirements into your quote from the outset, so there are no surprises further down the line.

Roof Maintenance — Stop Small Problems Becoming Big Bills
Prevention beats emergency repair every time. We offer a free drone roof survey, roof cleaning, moss & algae removal, roof coatings & sealing, gutter clearing & cleaning, homebuyer roof inspections & condition reports, and bird proofing for solar panels — essential in the damp, wooded pockets around The Outwoods where moss and algae build up fast.
Buying a house? A condition report gives genuine peace of mind. Got solar panels? Bird proofing is a small job now that saves a much bigger one later.

Chimney Service Loughborough — Stop Leaks at the Source
A solid roof means nothing if your chimney's letting water in. We provide a full chimney service across Loughborough and the Soar Valley:
- Chimney removal
- Chimney repairs & stack repair
- Chimney rebuilding
- Chimney repointing
- Lead flashing around chimneys
- Chimney pot installation & replacement
- Chimney bird guard & cowl fitting
- Chimney cap installation & weatherproofing
These are common needs across the Victorian terraces of Sileby and the period homes of Quorn and Woodhouse Eaves.
A failing chimney stack is one of the most common (and most overlooked) causes of damp in older homes — often showing up long before the roof itself is a problem. From a quick repoint to a full rebuild, we'll tell you exactly what's needed and nothing more.
Repointing a Victorian chimney with the wrong, overly hard modern mortar can actually accelerate brick decay rather than prevent it — our team specifies lime-based mortars on period properties where it's the right call, not just whatever's on the van.
Guttering Service Loughborough — Keep Water Out, Where It Belongs
Your roofline does the heavy lifting that protects everything below it. We cover:
- Fascias & soffits
- Guttering installation & replacement
- Gutter repairs & valley gutter repairs
- Timber & UPVC fascia & soffit replacement
- Cast iron gutter restoration & replacement
- Aluminium & zinc guttering
- Full UPVC roofline installation
Most "roof leaks" are actually gutter problems — we find the real cause before quoting any work. Got period cast iron guttering? We restore it where we can. Need a full modern UPVC system? We'll fit that too. Either way, you get the right fix, not the easiest upsell.

Got Questions?
Got Questions? We've Got Straight Answers
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
If the damage is localised — a few slipped tiles, one failing area of felt — a targeted repair is usually enough. If the underlay's degraded across multiple sections, or you're patching the same area repeatedly, a full re-roof is typically the more cost-effective long-term option. Our free drone survey gives you an honest answer either way, before you commit to anything.
What should I expect to pay for roofing work in Loughborough?
Costs vary with size, materials and access, but as a general guide: minor repairs typically run a few hundred pounds, while a full re-roof on a typical Loughborough semi using concrete tile starts from around £6,500, rising for clay, slate, or more complex roof shapes. We provide a clear, itemised quote after your free drone survey or site visit, so there are no surprises later.
How long does a typical roofing project take?
A standard residential re-roof typically takes a few days to a week depending on size and weather conditions, while emergency repairs are often resolved within 24–48 hours. Commercial and industrial projects are scoped individually and scheduled to minimise disruption.
Do you offer guarantees or warranties on your work?
Yes. All our roofing work is carried out to manufacturer specification and comes with a 10-Year workmanship guarantee. Specific terms vary by project and material type, and are confirmed in writing as part of your quote.

Our Loughborough office covers the full LE11 and LE12 postcode area, including Shepshed, Quorn, Barrow-upon-Soar, Hathern, Woodhouse Eaves, Mountsorrel, Sileby, Rothley, Syston, and East Leake — see our full coverage map above.
Will my period or listed property need special treatment
Yes. Our team has extensive experience with heritage and listed building roofing, including slate matching and lead work appropriate to conservation area requirements common throughout villages like Quorn and Woodhouse Eaves. We'll flag any planning or Article 4 considerations as part of your initial quote.
How much disruption should I expect during the work?
We plan every project to minimise disruption, including scheduling, site access, and material delivery. For commercial clients, we work around operational hours wherever possible to reduce impact on your business.
