Up Hatherley is a quiet suburban district with a very consistent housing stock — mostly 1960s and 1970s detached and semi-detached with concrete interlocking roofs that are now reaching the end of their first generation. We see significant repair demand here as these roofs age, and we carry out re-nailing, tile replacement and full re-roofs across the area.

Up Hatherley is settled suburban Cheltenham — 1930s semis with their original clay tiles alongside mid-century concrete-tile homes. Both are now at the stage where the underlay and ridge bedding, more than the tiles, need attention.
When you might not need major work: Plenty of Up Hatherley roofs just need the ridge re-bedded or converted to dry-fix and a section of underlay attended to, not a full re-roof — we'll give you the honest repair-or-replace call. See our repair-or-replace guide.
The majority of Up Hatherley's concrete tile roofs were laid between 1963 and 1978. Concrete tiles typically have a design life of 40-60 years, and nails used in this era were untreated steel — now corroding and failing in large numbers. It is common to find a property where several tiles have slipped and find that 30-40% of the remaining nails are at risk.
UPVC fascia and soffit boards on 1970s and 1980s properties in Up Hatherley are broadly at end of life. UV degradation causes brittleness and cracking, joint sealant failures, and in many cases the boards are now pulling away from the wall plate. Replacing fascias and soffits on a standard semi is typically a one-day job and eliminates the most common source of water penetration at roof edge.
Nail sickness on 1960s-70s concrete tile roofs is the primary repair call across Up Hatherley. UPVC fascia and soffit failures on 1970s-80s stock are the second most common issue. Rear extension flat roof failures on original felt systems that have reached or exceeded their design life complete the typical repair picture.
We're based in Cheltenham and cover all of Gloucestershire. All nearby towns are within our standard service area.
Most Up Hatherley 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.
Up Hatherley is comfortable 1930s-to-1960s suburban housing with generally open, scaffold-friendly access; Cheltenham Borough Council handles any permits on the busier roads. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Cheltenham Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Hatherley Road, Up Hatherley Way, the closes off Caernarvon Road where space is tight.

"Had the front slope re-nailed after three tiles came off in the January storms. They checked the rear and found it was in similar condition — quoted honestly to do both while the scaffold was up. Saved a second call-out and a larger repair bill next year."
"New UPVC fascia and soffits on our 1970s semi. Old boards were cracking and pulling away from the wall plate. New system is well fitted and the gutters run level now. Tidy job, in and out in a day."
"GRP flat roof on the rear extension to replace failed felt. Water had been getting in at the parapet for at least two years judging by the damage. New GRP is watertight and under ten-year guarantee. Good value for a permanent solution."
