Local roofing specialists covering Foleshill and CV6. Victorian terrace repairs, flat roofing for extensions, lead flashing and emergency call-outs. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Foleshill is characterised by Victorian terraces and interwar infill properties with Welsh slate and clay plain tiles on older stock, concrete tiles on mid-century infill as the dominant roof covering. Understanding the specific failure patterns for Victorian and early 20th century housing is essential for durable repairs — wrong materials or techniques are the most common cause of repeat call-outs on CV6 properties.
Foleshill retains significant stretches of Victorian terraced housing along Foleshill Road and Lockhurst Lane, many with original Welsh slate or clay plain tile roofing. At 100–130 years old, the most common repair calls are lead flashing failure at chimney abutments, slipped or broken slates, and failed ridge pointing. We carry reclaimed Welsh slate for sympathetic repairs on Foleshill’s period stock and use lime mortar for all pointing work on Victorian brickwork.
Post-war and 1960s additions to Foleshill’s Victorian terraces frequently involved rear kitchen extensions with felt flat roofs. Many of these are now 30–50 years old and showing blistering, cracking and lap joint failure. We install GRP fibreglass flat roofing across Foleshill as the primary replacement system — seamless, durable and maintenance-free for 25+ years. Most extension flat roofs in Foleshill cost £800–£2,000 GRP installed depending on size.
Mid-20th century infill development across parts of Foleshill used concrete interlocking tiles that are now in the nail sickness zone. Properties built between 1950 and 1975 along Bell Green Road and the surrounding streets are most affected. We carry out free surveys across CV6 and advise on whether targeted repair or re-roofing is the right call for each property.

Get a quote →Foleshill's housing stock is more varied than most Coventry suburbs — Victorian terraces in the older streets, 1930s and post-war stock on the estate areas, and some more recent infill development. The Victorian terrace stock requires the same material care as Hillfields — reclaimed slate or clay tile, lime mortar, lead flashings dressed correctly. The post-war estates require nail sickness assessment. We survey across all Foleshill housing eras and specify appropriately for whichever type of property we are working on in CV6. Free surveys are available across all of CV6 within 2–3 working days — call 0247 798 1271 to book.
The process for getting a roofing survey and quote from us is straightforward. You call or email, we arrange a free survey at a time that suits you — usually within 2–3 working days for non-emergency work. We inspect the full roof condition, not just the visible symptom, and provide a written report and itemised quote before we leave. The quote is valid for 30 days and there is no obligation to proceed. For emergency work, we aim to be on-site within 2–4 hours and provide a written quote for permanent repair at the emergency visit. Payment is by bank transfer or card — we do not accept cash-only arrangements.
