Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides pitched and tiled roofing across Shepshed and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Free, no-obligation quotes, £5 million public liability insurance, and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
Mortar is the weak point on Shepshed’s postwar estates. The concrete-tiled semis along Oakley Road and Iveshead Road were finished with bedded ridges and pointed verges, and decades of frost and wind have left many cracked, hollow or missing altogether. We re-cover and repair these roofs with mechanically fixed dry ridge and verge to BS 5534, so nothing depends on mortar again. In the town centre the job changes: Victorian terraces under Welsh slate, a few older cottages in plain clay tile, and the odd Swithland slate roof near St Botolph’s, all matched with reclaimed material rather than a near-enough modern substitute.

“Excellent service. Really pleased with the work. Great team. Very efficient. Cleaned up all mess. Roof looks great”
Yes. Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides pitched and tiled roofing throughout Shepshed (LE12) and the surrounding area, including Bull Ring, Belton, Hathern. Quotes are free and no-obligation, and the work is covered by £5 million public liability insurance and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
Because it tells you what the council wants to see. Charnwood’s appraisal for Shepshed calls concrete-tile re-roofs visually intrusive and expects Welsh slate or plain clay tiles in new work, and Historic England lists the conservation area as at risk. An unlisted house can usually be re-covered without permission, but choosing slate or clay over concrete keeps the street’s character, and those are the materials Charnwood will look for if your job does need consent.
Many do. Since British Standard BS 5534 was revised in 2014, ridge, hip and verge tiles have had to be mechanically fixed rather than held by mortar alone, so most homes built since carry clipped or dry-fix systems. The plastic verge caps can still crack or blow loose on exposed plots and are quick to replace. Older Shepshed houses with mortar-bedded ridges can be converted to dry-fix when the ridge next needs work.
