Roofers who actually know Lichfield
Lichfield is different. The conservation area around the Cathedral and the older streets off Beacon Street and Bird Street demand careful material choices — natural slate, Code 5 lead, mortar-matched pointing — and none of that is guesswork. Away from the historic core, the newer estates at Boley Park, Streethay and Darwin Park are almost all modern concrete tile with GRP porches and lean-to extensions. Both worlds need someone who knows the difference. We do.
Serving Lichfield
We work across WS13 and WS14 — Cathedral quarter, Boley Park, Streethay, Darwin Park, Curborough, Fradley and Whittington. Twenty-five minutes from our Cannock base and a regular route for us.
Property types we know
The Cathedral quarter carries Georgian and Victorian townhouses on natural slate with elaborate leadwork and box gutters. Streethay and Boley Park are 1990s–2010s estates on modern concrete tile. Fradley and the outlying villages are a mix of period cottages and executive new-build. Each demands a different specification — we don't lump everything together.
Common Lichfield jobs
Slate slipping on Victorian terraces where the nails have rotted, lead valleys and box gutters past their life on Georgian properties, chimney flashings needing full re-dress, and modern concrete tile issues on the newer estates where sarking and dry-verge weren't spec'd properly first time round.
Response times
Booked survey: within a week normally. Emergency: same day, prioritised for occupied period properties where water damage moves fast.

Roof problems we see most in Lichfield
Property age, exposure and layout shape which faults show up first. These are the four we get called out on most in Lichfield:
Nail-sick slate
Original Welsh and Westmoreland slate in Lichfield's older streets is often fine — but the iron nails holding it are rotted. Slates slip one at a time until you've got a leak. A proper strip and re-slate with copper or stainless nails is the only permanent fix.
Box gutters and parapet leadwork
The Georgian and early Victorian terraces around the Cathedral have box gutters hidden behind parapets. When the lead splits or the joints fail, water tracks straight into the party wall. Full lead replacement with proper welts and drips is a specialist job — we do them regularly.
Conservation-area material matching
Lichfield District's planners are strict about materials in the conservation area. Concrete tile substitutions and modern ridge systems are usually refused. We spec natural slate, clay tile and hand-dressed lead where the property demands it, and quote it honestly.
New-build defects on estates
A surprising number of Boley Park and Streethay houses came off the developer with tight verges, no dry-fix ridges, and under-lapped underlays. We see the leaks around year 8–12 as the mortar bedding fails. A proper retrofit of dry-fix systems solves it.
