Roofer in Rushock

Roofing in Rushock, Worcestershire

Rushock is a very small hamlet in the Elmbridge and Rushock civil parish, set in the open Worcestershire farmland between Droitwich and Kidderminster. The settlement has a low population density and is surrounded on all sides by agricultural land — the kind of rural Worcestershire that is genuinely off the beaten track. Properties here are predominantly farmhouses and farm cottages of traditional construction: red Worcestershire brick with clay tile roofs, original chimneys and the kind of plain, honest building character that is typical of this part of the county. Some properties may also include converted agricultural outbuildings. The very small number of properties in the hamlet means that local roofing searches are effectively uncontested, and we make a point of covering small places like Rushock specifically because residents here often struggle to find roofers willing to travel out.

The clay tile roofs on Rushock’s farmhouses are typically plain tile in profile, laid on original timber rafters and battens with lime mortar pointing at the ridges. Over time, the mortar pointing weathers and cracks, allowing ridge tiles to become dislodged and creating an entry point for water. On these rural properties, a roof that has not been properly inspected for a number of years may have several such issues that have been developing slowly and quietly. We carry out thorough surveys at no charge and will identify all the issues in a single visit, giving the property owner a clear and honest picture of what needs doing and at what cost before any work begins. We also check the guttering and downpipe runs on all surveys, as blocked or leaking gutters are a very common secondary cause of water penetration in older rural properties.
