Brockworth's post-war housing stock is now reaching the critical repair window. The concrete tiles laid in the 1940s and 1950s across the main estates were fixed with untreated steel nails that are now failing, and the humid Severn Vale position accelerates the moss growth that compounds the blockage problems. We carry out significant volumes of work across Brockworth each year.

Brockworth's housing is mostly post-war and modern concrete-tile estates, and the older of these are now at the age where fixings, mortar bedding and underlay start to give out.
When you might not need major work: Many Brockworth estate roofs just need a dry-fix ridge conversion or a section refixed rather than a full re-roof — we'll be straight about when a repair does the job. See our repair-or-replace guide for the honest test.
Properties in the main Brockworth estates — Cox's Meadow, Green Lane Road, Ermin Street — are broadly of similar age and construction. The concrete plain tiles on these roofs have held up well structurally, but the fixing nails are at end of life on a large proportion of the stock. When nails begin to fail, slipped tiles become a regular occurrence rather than an exceptional event.
The high ambient humidity from the adjacent water meadows and the low-lying Severn floodplain position means north-facing roofs in Brockworth accumulate moss and lichen faster than in drier, higher locations. A roof in Brockworth that is not treated every 3-4 years will have blocked valleys and failing gutters by year five or six. We offer annual treatment plans for properties in the area.
Nail sickness on 1940s-60s concrete tile roofs is the most widespread issue across the Brockworth estates. Accelerated moss growth from the Severn Vale humidity blocks valleys and gutters and leads to secondary water ingress if untreated. Rear extension and garage flat roof failures on original 1950s felt systems are the third most frequent repair call.
We're based in Cheltenham and cover all of Gloucestershire. All nearby towns are within our standard service area.
Most Brockworth roofing is worked from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is specified only where a job needs safe standing time at height, and we arrange it. Scaffold is specified for: re-roofs, chimney and valley work, or anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Brockworth is largely post-war and modern estate housing with generally open, scaffold-friendly access; Tewkesbury Borough Council handles any pavement or skip permits on the busier through-roads. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Tewkesbury Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Court Road, Ermin Street, the closes off Mill Lane where space is tight.

"The back slope had lost six tiles after the October storm. They came out the next morning, made it safe, and came back midweek to do a full check and replace another four that were at risk. Reasonable price for a quick, professional response."
"Annual moss treatment and valley clear. The water meadows behind us mean the north slope grows moss constantly. Since I started the annual treatment with these guys three years ago the gutters have stayed clear all year. Worth every penny."
"Full re-nail of both slopes on our 1952 semi after three tiles slipped in successive storms. They found the extent of nail failure early and gave an honest quote rather than a patch-and-return approach. Solid job, well priced."
