Rodbourne is one of Swindon's oldest residential areas outside Old Town, developed from the late Victorian period through the 1930s to house railway and factory workers. We provide expert roofing across Rodbourne — repairs, replacements, flat roofing and emergencies with free quotes and a 10-year guarantee.
Rodbourne is one of Swindon's oldest residential areas outside Old Town, developed from the late Victorian period through the 1930s to house railway and factory workers. Victorian terraces along Rodbourne Road and Even Swindon give way to 1920s-30s semis along Whitworth Road and the connecting streets. The Victorian stock has Welsh slate roofs with lime mortar chimneys — similar in character to the Railway Village but with less architectural distinction. The interwar semis have clay or concrete plain tiles with substantial chimney stacks.
Victorian slate roofs are structurally sound but need fixing attention — original copper or iron nails corroding after 100+ years. Lime mortar on Victorian chimney stacks has weathered out on exposed faces. Lead flashings on complex Victorian roof junctions have fatigued from thermal cycling. The 1930s properties share Moredon's nib fracture issue on clay plain tiles. Cast iron guttering survives on some unrenovated Victorian terraces but is cracked and corroded. The dense terrace construction means scaffold access for chimney and flashing work requires careful planning around narrow rear lanes.

"Gutters blocked and overflowing. They cleared everything, re-sealed the joints and re-aligned the fall. First autumn without overflow problems. Well worth the money."
"Called for a free roof survey. They inspected thoroughly from the roof, showed us photos, and gave an honest assessment. No pressure to do work we did not need yet. Will definitely use them when the time comes."
The most common roofing issues in Rodbourne mirror the wider Swindon area: nail sickness on 1960s-80s concrete tile roofs, flat roof membrane failure on rear extensions, mortar verge and ridge deterioration from the exposed plateau position, and gutter blockage from mature tree canopy.

We are NFRC registered, carry five million pounds of public liability insurance, and provide a written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job. We have been serving Swindon and surrounding Wiltshire since 2003. Our business is built entirely on honest work and word-of-mouth recommendation. We do not advertise, we do not cold-call, and we do not employ salespeople. Every customer comes to us through recommendation or by finding us online — and we keep them by doing excellent work at fair prices. That is a business model we are proud of and one that benefits every homeowner who works with us.
Swindon's roofing market is served by a mix of national lead generation platforms, regional roofing companies and local sole traders. The national platforms route your enquiry to whoever pays them the most — you have no control over who turns up and no relationship with the company. Regional companies may send different teams for different jobs with variable quality. A genuine local roofer with their own team, their own reputation and their own guarantee on every job provides the consistency and accountability that matters when the work is on your home. We have been that local roofer for Swindon since 2003 and intend to be here for the next twenty years. Call 0179 329 7084 and talk to the people who will actually be on your roof.
We cover every postcode and neighbourhood across Swindon and a 15-mile radius. From the 1840s Railway Village to the 2020s Wichelstowe development, from hilltop Highworth to floodplain Cricklade, from the wind-exposed western estates at Shaw and Toothill to the sheltered inner suburbs at Covingham and Eldene. We carry the twelve most common tile profiles on every van, maintain relationships with specialist suppliers for reclaimed Welsh slate, Cotswold limestone tiles and traditional materials, and switch between modern specifications and period-appropriate techniques daily. Whether your property needs a single tile replacement, a full re-roof, a flat roof conversion, or specialist chimney work, we have the expertise, the materials and the local knowledge to do the job right first time.
A good roofer surveys from the roof, not from the ground. Photographs everything and explains what they find in plain language. Provides a detailed written specification, not just a price. Uses the correct materials for the property type and local conditions. Specifies stainless steel fixings as standard rather than the galvanised nails that caused Swindon's nail sickness crisis. Includes scaffold and waste removal in the quote. Offers a meaningful written guarantee backed by trade body membership and adequate insurance. Turns up when they say they will, does what they quoted, cleans up after themselves and stands behind the work for years afterward. This is the standard we maintain on every job and the standard you should expect from any roofer you hire.
