Loughborough is the biggest town on our patch, in the LE11 postcode — home to the university and Taylor’s bell foundry, and roofed in everything from Victorian slate terraces off Ashby Road to interwar semis at Shelthorpe and modern estates towards Nanpantan and the Outwoods. Landlord and HMO roofs sit alongside family homes here. We cover Loughborough from our Coalville base, along the A512.
Ashby Road, Queen’s Park and the streets between the town centre and the university
Charnwood’s appraisals describe red brick under slate as the character of these streets. Slipped slates, worn lead and chimney pointing are the usual work, and on the many houses now let to students, keeping the roof in repair is the landlord’s legal duty.
The 1920s and 1930s estate between Leicester Road and Ling Road, part of it a conservation area
Houses of this age are close to a hundred years old, and their original battens, underlay (where there is any) and ridge bedding are worn out even when the tiles still look fine. Because part of the estate is a conservation area, keeping the original look when re-roofing matters.
Victoria Street, Forest Side, and out towards Nanpantan and the Outwoods
The Victoria Street appraisal notes that not every roof there was slate: plain clay tiles, including long catslide roofs, were widely used on its Arts and Crafts houses. Further out, newer family homes bring the usual mix of tiled roofs, flat-roofed extensions and roofline work.
Loughborough sits in the Soar valley with Charnwood Forest rising right behind it to the south-west: Beacon Hill reaches 248 metres, and the ancient woodland of the Outwoods runs up to the edge of town. Homes on the Forest Side and Nanpantan side get more wind and far more leaf fall than those on the flat ground towards the river, and moss builds quickly on slopes shaded by mature trees. Down in town, the tightly packed terraces share valleys, stacks and gutters, so one neglected roof can let water into the house next door.
Charnwood Borough Council has designated eight conservation areas in Loughborough, and their appraisals set out the materials that give each street its character; matching them is the safe course on any re-roof. For landlords, the town has had an Article 4 direction on new small HMOs since 2012, and Charnwood runs additional HMO licensing across the borough and selective licensing in the Hastings and Lemyngton wards until March 2028. Licensing does not change what roof work needs permission, but damp from a leaking roof is exactly the kind of hazard a council housing inspection picks up.
Planning authority for Loughborough: Charnwood Borough Council. We will tell you at the quote if your job needs consent, but the council has the final say.
Slipped slates, worn lead and leaking valleys on the town’s Victorian terraces, fixed at the cause so the same leak does not come back the following winter.
Roof Repairs in Loughborough →Flying a drone over a terrace or shared house records every slope, stack and valley without scaffolding, and the written report is useful for landlords with several properties.
Drone Inspections in Loughborough →Homes near the Outwoods and Nanpantan sit under mature trees, and the shaded slopes there gather moss quickly.
Moss Removal & Cleaning in Loughborough →Shelthorpe’s interwar roofs are close to a hundred years old, and re-roofing in keeping with the conservation area gives them decades more.
New Roofs in Loughborough →The landlord. Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 makes landlords of most residential tenancies responsible for keeping the structure and exterior in repair, and that includes the roof, gutters and downpipes. For landlords and letting agents we can inspect the roof, send you photos and a written report, carry out the repair, and arrange access with the tenants.
Whatever the street was built with. Charnwood’s appraisals describe smooth red brick and Welsh slate around Queen’s Park and red brick under slate along Ashby Road, while on Victoria Street not every roof was slate: plain clay tiles, including long catslide roofs, were widely used on the Arts and Crafts houses. Re-roofing in the original material keeps a house in character, and it is what the council will expect to see if the work needs consent.
Yes, for part of the estate. Charnwood Borough Council designated the Shelthorpe Conservation Area to protect the section built in the 1920s and 1930s between Leicester Road and Ling Road. For a house there, repairs and like-for-like re-roofing are usually straightforward, but roof extensions, dormers and anything else that changes the look of the roof should be checked with the council first.
