Complete Roofing Solutions
Professional roofing services for every type of roof, every type of problem.
Pitched Roof Repairs
Pitched roofs are the most common roofing style across Leicester and the East Midlands. Over time, extreme weather, aging materials and general wear can cause tiles to slip, crack or become dislodged, leading to leaks and structural damage if left untreated.
At Pevans Roofing Ltd, our skilled team carries out comprehensive pitched roof repairs for both residential and commercial properties. We work with all tile and slate types, ensuring a seamless match with your existing roof covering.
From replacing individual broken tiles to re-bedding and re-pointing ridge tiles, our repairs are carried out to the highest standards using quality materials. We also inspect the underlying felt and battens to ensure the full roof structure is sound.
All our pitched roof repairs come with a detailed written quotation and are fully guaranteed. We pride ourselves on providing honest, transparent advice — if a repair will do the job, we will never push you towards a full replacement.
Flat Roof Repairs & Installation
Flat roofs are widely used on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial buildings throughout Leicester. While modern flat roofing materials are incredibly durable, older felt and asphalt roofs can deteriorate, causing ponding water, blistering and leaks.
Pevans Roofing Ltd offers both flat roof repairs and complete new installations. We specialise in modern high-performance systems including EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt, each suited to different applications and budgets.
Our experienced team will assess your existing flat roof and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Whether it is a patch repair to stop an immediate leak or a full overlay to extend the life of your roof by 20+ years, we have you covered.
Every flat roof installation is carried out with proper falls to ensure effective drainage, and we use only manufacturer-approved materials with comprehensive warranties for your peace of mind.
New Roof Installation
Whether you are building a new home, adding an extension or your existing roof has reached the end of its life, Pevans Roofing Ltd provides complete new roof installations across Leicester and surrounding areas.
We handle every aspect of the installation from stripping the existing covering down to the rafters, replacing any damaged timbers, installing breathable membrane and battens, through to the final tile or slate laying and ridge work.
Our team works with all major roofing material brands and can advise on the best choice for your property, whether that is natural slate for a period home, concrete interlocking tiles for a modern property, or clay pantiles for a traditional Leicestershire cottage.
We manage the full project including scaffolding, skip hire and any necessary building regulations approvals. Every new roof comes with a comprehensive written guarantee and manufacturer-backed warranty on materials.
Roof Tiling & Slating
Quality roof tiling and slating is essential for protecting your property from the unpredictable British weather. At Pevans Roofing Ltd, we are specialists in all types of roof tile and slate work, from small patch repairs to complete re-tiles.
We work with a wide range of materials including natural Welsh and Spanish slate, concrete tiles from Marley and Redland, clay pantiles, rosemary tiles and more. Our team can source reclaimed materials to match existing roofs on period properties.
Every tiling and slating job is carried out using proper fixings and laid to manufacturer specifications. We ensure correct gauge, lap and head-lap measurements so your roof performs exactly as intended for decades to come.
Whether you need a few slipped tiles replacing or a complete strip and re-tile with new felt and battens, Pevans Roofing Ltd delivers exceptional craftsmanship at competitive prices across Leicester and the East Midlands.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing is one of the most popular and cost-effective flat roofing solutions available today. It offers an expected lifespan of 40-50 years and is ideal for garages, extensions, dormers and outbuildings.
Pevans Roofing Ltd are experienced EPDM installers, using premium-grade Firestone and ClassicBond membranes. EPDM is supplied in large single sheets, meaning most domestic flat roofs can be covered without any joins — eliminating the most common cause of flat roof leaks.
The rubber membrane is incredibly flexible, UV-resistant and can withstand temperature extremes from -45°C to over 100°C. Unlike traditional felt, EPDM will not crack, split or blister over time, making it a truly fit-and-forget solution.
Installation is quick and clean, with most domestic EPDM roofs completed within a single day. We prepare the deck, install insulation boards where required, and bond the membrane using a contact adhesive system. All our EPDM installations carry a 20-year material warranty.
GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) fibreglass roofing is a premium flat roofing system that creates a completely seamless, watertight finish. It is the ideal choice for balconies, terraces, bay tops and any flat roof where a hard-wearing, walkable surface is required.
At Pevans Roofing Ltd, we are fully trained GRP installers using Polyroof, Topseal and other leading fibreglass systems. The process involves laying a fibreglass matting over a prepared timber deck and coating it with catalysed resin, creating a single continuous membrane with no joints.
Once cured, the GRP surface is incredibly strong, completely waterproof and resistant to UV rays, foot traffic and standing water. It can be finished in a range of colours including standard grey, dark grey or tile-red to complement your property.
Our GRP flat roof installations come with manufacturer-backed guarantees of up to 25 years. The system requires virtually no maintenance and will not degrade, crack or blister like traditional felt roofs. It is the ultimate long-term flat roofing solution.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Your fascias, soffits and guttering (collectively known as your roofline) play a crucial role in protecting your property from water damage. Damaged or rotten roofline boards allow water to penetrate into the roof structure, causing costly timber decay.
Pevans Roofing Ltd provides complete roofline replacement services using high-quality maintenance-free UPVC boards and guttering. We remove your existing timber fascias and soffits, check and repair any damaged rafter feet, then install new UPVC boards and seamless guttering.
We offer a wide range of UPVC styles and colours including white, black, anthracite grey and rosewood to suit any property. Our guttering systems are available in round, square and ogee profiles with all matching downpipes and fittings.
New UPVC roofline not only protects your home but dramatically improves its appearance and kerb appeal. Unlike timber, UPVC never needs painting, will not rot and stays looking fresh for decades. All our roofline work is competitively priced with no hidden extras.
Chimney Repairs & Repointing
Chimneys are one of the most exposed parts of any building, taking the full brunt of wind, rain and frost. Over time the mortar joints deteriorate, flaunching cracks, lead flashings fail and brickwork can become unstable — all leading to water ingress and potential structural issues.
Pevans Roofing Ltd carries out all types of chimney repairs across Leicester and surrounding areas. From simple repointing of mortar joints to complete chimney stack rebuilds, we have the skills and experience to handle any chimney problem.
Our chimney services include repointing, new flaunching, lead flashing replacement, fitting cowls and caps, installing ventilation terminals, chimney pot replacement and full chimney removal for disused flues.
We always use appropriate lime-based mortars on older properties to ensure compatibility with the existing brickwork. All chimney work is carried out safely using scaffold towers or roof ladders, and we leave the area clean and tidy on completion.
Lead Work & Flashings
Lead remains the gold standard for weatherproofing junctions, abutments and valleys on roofs. Properly installed lead work will last well over 100 years, making it the most durable roofing material available.
Pevans Roofing Ltd employs skilled lead workers who carry out all aspects of traditional leadwork including stepped and cover flashings, back gutters, valley linings, flat roof coverings, dormer cheeks and decorative features.
We use only code-appropriate milled lead sheet from BLM (British Lead Mills) and install all work in accordance with the Lead Sheet Association guidelines. This ensures proper expansion allowance, correct dressing and long-term performance.
Whether you need a single flashing renewed or a complete lead valley re-lined, our team delivers neat, professional lead work that will protect your property for generations. We also offer cost-effective lead alternatives where appropriate.
Velux & Skylight Installation
Adding a Velux roof window or skylight is one of the most effective ways to transform a dark room, loft conversion or extension with natural daylight. Studies show that rooms with roof windows receive up to 40% more light than those with conventional windows.
Pevans Roofing Ltd are experienced Velux and skylight installers, fitting windows into both new and existing pitched roofs. We handle the full installation including cutting the roof opening, installing the supporting timbers, fitting the window unit and dressing with the appropriate flashing kit.
We supply and install the full range of Velux windows including centre-pivot, top-hung, conservation style for listed buildings, and electric/solar operated versions with integrated blinds and rain sensors.
Every Velux installation is weatherproofed using genuine Velux flashing kits matched to your roof covering type (tile, slate or flat). This ensures a watertight seal and maintains your roof warranty. We also plaster and finish the internal reveal if required.
Emergency Roof Repairs
When a storm hits or you discover a sudden leak, you need a roofer you can rely on to respond quickly. Pevans Roofing Ltd provides an emergency roof repair service across Leicester and surrounding areas, with rapid response times to minimise damage to your property.
Our emergency services include temporary tarpaulin covers to stop water ingress, emergency tile and slate replacement, storm damage assessment, fallen tree damage repair and insurance work. We carry a comprehensive stock of common roofing materials to enable same-day repairs wherever possible.
We understand the stress and urgency of a roofing emergency, which is why we aim to be on-site as quickly as possible to assess the damage and carry out immediate temporary or permanent repairs.
For insurance claims, we provide detailed photographic reports and written quotations that meet insurer requirements. We work directly with all major insurance companies and can manage the repair from initial assessment through to completion.
Roof Inspections & Surveys
Regular roof inspections are the best way to catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Pevans Roofing Ltd offers comprehensive roof inspection and survey services for homeowners, landlords, property managers and commercial building owners.
Our detailed roof surveys include a visual inspection of the entire roof covering, ridge and hip tiles, flashings, valleys, chimneys, guttering and fascias. We check for slipped or broken tiles, deteriorated pointing, blocked gutters, failed sealants and any signs of structural movement.
Following the inspection, you receive a clear written report with photographs, detailing any issues found and prioritised recommendations for repair. We grade each issue by urgency so you can plan and budget for maintenance work accordingly.
We recommend an annual roof inspection, ideally in autumn before the winter weather arrives. For landlords and commercial property owners, regular documented inspections also help demonstrate compliance with property maintenance obligations.
