Roofing in Royston — What Makes It Different
Royston is a market town with a varied mix of housing — from Victorian terraces in the town centre to post-war semis, 1970s estates, and newer developments on the outskirts. The town sits on a chalk ridge at the meeting point of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, and that exposed position has a real effect on roofs.
Period Properties in the Town Centre — Royston's older streets, particularly around the High Street and Fish Hill, have a good number of Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties. Many have original clay or slate roof coverings, lead valleys, and brick chimneys that need careful handling. We use natural slate where needed, lime mortar for chimney repointing, and properly dressed lead work.
Flat-Roofed Extensions — Like many towns across the region, Royston has plenty of homes with rear flat-roof extensions added in the 1970s and 1980s. The original felt on these is now well past its lifespan. We replace them with modern GRP or EPDM systems that last 20-30 years and come with a full guarantee.
Exposed to the Elements — Royston sits on elevated chalk downland, higher and more exposed than much of the surrounding area. Wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw cycles in winter take their toll on mortar, flashing, and ridge tiles faster than in more sheltered locations. Prompt repairs and regular maintenance matter more here.
Post-War and Modern Estates — The residential areas that grew up around Royston from the 1950s through to recent new-builds have their own roofing issues — dry ridge failures, uPVC roofline deterioration, and flashing problems on extensions. We are familiar with these property types and the common faults they develop.
