Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides pitched and tiled roofing across Glenfield & Braunstone and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Free, no-obligation quotes, £5 million public liability insurance, and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
Matching Welsh or Swithland slate and clay pantiles in Glenfield’s conservation area, and changing roofing material only with consent in Braunstone Village.
LE3 straddles two councils. Glenfield, Braunstone Town and Leicester Forest East are Blaby District Council’s, while Braunstone Park and Rowley Fields, New Parks and Western Park belong to Leicester City Council. Glenfield has a conservation area with an appraisal from 2014, and Braunstone Village has one in two parts: the city designated the northern part in 1974 and Blaby the southern part in 2024. An Article 4 direction in force since March 2026 covers 19 properties in Braunstone Village and brings roof alterations and changes of roofing material under planning control.
Priced per project after survey based on covering, pitch, access and detailing. Free fixed quote. Full price ranges →
Yes. Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides pitched and tiled roofing throughout Glenfield & Braunstone (LE3) and the surrounding area, including Leicester Forest East, New Parks, Braunstone Park. Quotes are free and no-obligation, and the work is covered by £5 million public liability insurance and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
It does if your house is one of the 19 properties it covers. The direction, made by Blaby District Council and in force since March 2026, removes permitted development rights for roof alterations and changes of roofing material there, so work that would otherwise need no consent now needs planning permission. Like-for-like repairs are still fine. If you are not sure whether your home is covered, check with Blaby before booking the work; we will ask about it at the quote.
Usually Welsh slate, which Glenfield’s character appraisal describes as the village’s traditional roof. A handful of older buildings, including nos 3–9 Main Street and Old Glebe Farm, have Swithland slate, and there are red clay pantiles and plain clay tiles on others. Repairs should match what is there, and swapping slate for concrete tiles would jar with the street.
