Armour Shield Roofing Services Coalville provides new roofs and re-roofing across Groby and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Free, no-obligation quotes, £5 million public liability insurance, and a 15-year written workmanship guarantee.
A concrete-tiled roof laid on a Groby estate house in 1970 is now well past fifty, and on many of them the tiles have gone porous, the felt beneath has turned brittle and the battens no longer hold a nail. That is the point where patching stops making sense and a full re-roof — breathable membrane, treated battens, interlocking tiles and mechanically fixed ridge and verge — is usually the better long-term value. Semis off Markfield Road are the typical job, though we can also re-cover slate on the older Charnwood-edge cottages in matching material where character matters. The workmanship guarantee on a full re-roof runs to fifteen years, in writing.
Re-roofing a typical semi commonly ranges £4,000–£6,500; a larger detached house £6,000–£9,000+. Depends on size, materials and access. Free fixed survey and quote. Full price ranges →

Swithland slate is the heavy local slate once quarried in Charnwood Forest around Swithland and Groby, and it was the traditional roof of the area until cheaper Welsh slate took over in the 19th century. It is thicker and rougher than Welsh slate and laid in diminishing courses, with the largest slates at the eaves getting smaller towards the ridge. The last Groby slate quarry closed in 1908 and none has been quarried since, so repairs use reclaimed slate matched for size and thickness. A Swithland roof is best not patched with Welsh slate or concrete tiles, which look wrong and sit differently.
Groby, Ratby, Markfield and Field Head are in Hinckley and Bosworth borough; Anstey and Newtown Linford belong to Charnwood Borough Council. All five villages have conservation areas, so if you are planning a dormer, a roof extension or any work on a listed building in the older part of one of them, check with the right council first. We can tell you at the quote which one that is.
