Roofing in Selly Oak, Birmingham (B29)
Selly Oak is a busy south Birmingham suburb in the B29 postcode area, best known as the home of the University of Birmingham. The area’s character is shaped by its architectural heritage — Selly Oak has a large stock of late Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached houses, many of which have been in continuous occupation for over a century and bear the marks of that long history on their roofs.
The terraced properties that line so many of Selly Oak’s residential streets were typically built with clay plain tile roofs and natural or Welsh slate used on better-quality properties. These roofs are often in need of sustained maintenance — pointing on ridge tiles, individual tile replacements, lead flashings around the chimney stacks (which are plentiful on Victorian properties) and the periodic replacement of felt underlay that has reached the end of its life after decades of service.
Because many Selly Oak properties are occupied by students or rented out by private landlords, there is sometimes a history of deferred maintenance. We work with both owner-occupiers who want the job done properly once and landlords managing their portfolios who need reliable, cost-effective solutions. In either case, we give the same honest advice and carry out the work to the same standard.
