Roof Repairs for Homes in Bilston
Roof repairs in Bilston usually mean slates. The terraces around the town centre and Bradley were roofed in Welsh slate generations ago, and the classic fault is nail sickness, the slates are fine but the nails holding them have rusted to nothing, so they slide one at a time after every wind. We refix and replace with matching slate, and use discreet fixings where a slate cannot be re-nailed invisibly.
We cover Bilston and the surrounding area: Bradley, Stowlawn, The Lunt, Bunker’s Hill, Portobello and beyond (WV14).

How It Works
Roof Repairs in Bilston, FAQs
That pattern is nail sickness, century-old nails rusting through while the slates themselves are still good. Each slipped slate can be refixed, and when too many nails have gone we will say so honestly, because at that point a recover using your existing slates where possible beats endless single repairs.
We source reclaimed Welsh slate regularly, sized and holed to match what is on the roof. A good match matters on a terrace because your roof joins next door’s, and a mismatched patch stands out down the whole row.
The obvious sign is a damp patch or drip on a ceiling, but earlier clues are stained loft timbers, wet insulation, daylight showing through the roof, or tiles in the garden after wind. If you can see any of those, it is worth getting it looked at before the next heavy rain.
It depends on what has failed and how easy it is to reach. Replacing a couple of slipped tiles is a small job; a relined valley or a rebedded ridge line is bigger. We look first, then give you an exact written price, so you are never guessing.
Nearly always. We source reclaimed and new tiles and slates to match what is on your roof, so the repair blends in rather than sitting there as an obvious patch.
