Rugby · West Midlands Roofing Since 1973
Roofers in RugbyVictorian, Post-War & ModernGuaranteed in Writing
Rugby has one of the most varied roof stocks in the region, dense Victorian streets around the town centre, sprawling post-war estates and a constant flow of new-build extensions on the town's outer edges. We've been working the CV21–CV23 postcodes for over five decades and know exactly what each of them needs.

Roofers who actually
know Rugby.
Our CV5 yard is 30 minutes from our CV5 base via the A428. That means predictable arrival times, familiarity with the local building stock, and a phone number that answers whether you're calling from a terrace, a semi or a commercial unit.
Postcodes covered
CV21 · CV22 · CV23
CV21 (Rugby town, Newbold-on-Avon, Brownsover), CV22 (Bilton, Overslade, Hillmorton, Cawston, Woodlands) and CV23 rural (Dunchurch, Long Lawford, Kilsby, Barby, Willoughby). If it's a Rugby address we're on it, and we run larger commercial contracts on the town's trading estates too.
Rugby is a 30-minute run east of our Coventry yard down the A428. It's a town where our 53-year track record with lead work, natural slate and Victorian terrace repairs earns its keep. Whether you're in a 1900s terrace off Clifton Road, a post-war semi in Hillmorton or a modern development around Cawston, the same crew and the same standard applies.
From CV5 to Rugby is around 30 minutes via the A428. Emergency call-outs are attended same-day where possible; standard survey appointments are booked inside 48 hours. Rugby is far enough from base that we plan jobs efficiently, surveys, repairs and material drops grouped by day.
Rugby's housing stock spans 150 years. Victorian and Edwardian terraces surround the town centre, Clifton Road and Bilton Road. Inter-war and post-war semis dominate Hillmorton, Overslade, Bilton and Newbold. Modern estates spread across Cawston, Coton Park and the outer edges toward Dunchurch and Long Lawford. Roof coverings range from Welsh slate on the oldest stock through concrete tile on the mid-century estates to interlocking tile on the modern developments.
Rugby jobs on our board are typically: natural slate repairs and strip-and-re-slates on Victorian stock, chimney and lead work on terraces near the town centre, concrete-tile re-roofs on mid-century semis, and roofline plus gutter replacements on the modern estates. We also handle regular commercial and industrial work on the trading estates south and east of town.

53 years trading, family-run
Established in 1973 by David Morgan and now run by Lyndon Small and his family, we've been fixing roofs across the region longer than most of Rugby's current housing stock has been standing. That's not a marketing line, it's why chartered surveyors, letting agents and repeat customers ring us first.

Local roofing issues
What actually goes wrong
on Rugby's roofs.
Property type, building age, climate and exposure all shape the failure patterns we see across Rugby. These are the ones we're called to most.
Nail-sick Victorian slate
The Victorian terraces around Rugby's town centre and Clifton Road carry natural slate roofs at or past the life of their iron fixings. Slates start slipping one at a time. A full strip and re-slate with copper or stainless nails, reusing sound original slates on the front elevation, is often more economical over 25 years than continuing to patch.
Chimney and lead on tall stacks
The tall shared chimneys on Rugby's Victorian terraces are one of the most exposed masonry elements in the region. Cement pointing added mid-20th century has typically failed. NHL 3.5 or lime repointing plus Code 4/5 lead re-dressing extends stack life by decades.
Post-war concrete tile at end of life
Hillmorton, Overslade, Bilton and Newbold carry heavy stock of 1960s–70s concrete tile, now approaching or past design life. Full strip, new breathable underlay, treated batten to BS 5534, dry-fix ridge and verge, plus optional insulation upgrade is the standard specification.
Wind exposure on the town's east and south
Rugby's more exposed edges, Hillmorton, Cawston, Dunchurch approach, see stronger wind loading than the sheltered town centre. Every ridge specification we write is matched to the correct BS 5534 wind zone. Dry-fix systems eliminate the recurring problem of cement-bedded ridges cracking off in high winds.
