Roofing
A Full-Service
Local Roofer
Across Nottinghamshire
Pitched, flat, lead, slate, tile, gutters, fascias and chimneys — one team that handles the whole roof, so you don't end up coordinating three trades and chasing four quotes.
Free inspection and written quote, usually within 48 hours where possible.
Service overview
Roofing Services in Nottinghamshire — what you actually get.
What it is
Sherwood is a full-service roofing contractor — pitched roof replacement, flat roof systems (GRP/EPDM/felt), repairs, lead and chimney work, gutters/fascias/soffits, and roofline maintenance. One company and one point of contact across the lot.
Who it's for
Homeowners, landlords, letting agents and small commercial clients who want one trusted firm to look after the whole roof — not a different specialist for every component.
When you need it
When you're planning ahead (pre-sale survey, pre-winter check, new extension), when something's failed (leak, storm damage, slipped tile), or when you want a one-off proper job rather than a series of patch fixes.
Why it matters
Roofs fail at the interfaces — where the tile meets the lead, where the flat roof meets the upstand, where the gutter meets the fascia. A single trusted team handles those interfaces correctly, with one point of accountability if something needs attention.
What happens if you wait
The real cost of leaving it.
Most 'roof problems' aren't really roof problems — they're handover problems between trades who never spoke to each other. Coordinating five different specialists is a part-time job, and the failure points fall in the gaps.
Risks of leaving it
- Roofer blames the gutter installer; gutter installer blames the roofer.
- Insurance claims slow down when nobody owns the scope of work.
- Different guarantees on different components — half of them lapsed, none enforceable together.
- Multiple visits, multiple mess, multiple weekends ruined.
- Small issues missed because nobody had a full overview of the roof.
Common mistakes we see
- Hiring a generalist builder to manage roofers, leadworkers and gutterers — middle-man markup, no quality control.
- Replacing tiles without renewing the underlay or fixing the ventilation.
- Recovering a flat roof while ignoring the failing gutter that's been feeding the leak.
- Putting up new fascias on rotten rafter ends.
Our process
How we deliver — step by step.
- 1
Whole-Roof Inspection
We assess the entire roof system — coverings, flashings, chimneys, gutters, fascias, ventilation — not just the bit you called about.
- 2
Prioritised Written Plan
You receive a written scope split into 'do now', 'do this year', and 'monitor'. No upsell — just an honest order of priority.
- 3
One Itemised Quote
One quote, one team, one contact. You see exactly what's included and what isn't.
- 4
Coordinated Execution
Scaffold up once, all work done in sequence, scaffold down once. Minimum disruption, maximum efficiency.
- 5
Single Document Pack
All manufacturer material warranties and product paperwork collected in one place, in writing.
What you get
The benefits — in plain English.
One trusted contact
From first call to final hand-over — same firm, same team, same accountability.
Better roof, not just better tiles
We see the interfaces other trades miss. The roof works as a system, not as a list of parts.
Less downtime
Scaffold up once for everything that needs doing — not three separate hires across three months.
Predictable budget
Whole-roof plan means no surprise 'oh, we should have done the gutters at the same time' six months later.
Stronger insurance position
A complete documented roof scope with photos and material details carries far more weight in claims.
Long-term relationship
Most of our work comes from clients we've looked after for years. We're a phone call away when something needs attention.

FAQ
Honest answers, before you call.
Can you handle my entire roof scope, including gutters and chimney?
+
Yes — that's exactly what we're set up for. Single quote, single team, single point of contact.
Do you work on both domestic and commercial roofs?
+
Domestic and small commercial (shops, units, small offices). Larger industrial roofs we'll honestly refer to specialist firms.
How soon can you come out?
+
Inspections usually within 48 hours, where possible; often same-day for emergency leaks, where possible. Written quote usually follows within 48 hours of the visit, where possible.
Are you insured?
+
Yes — we're fully insured, and we work to BS 5534 / current Building Regs.
Do you offer roof health checks for landlords?
+
Yes — an annual inspection, photo-documented report, and prioritised maintenance plan. A practical option for letting agents managing multiple properties.
Will you give an honest opinion if I don't actually need the work?
+
Always. We turn down work all the time when a repair makes more sense than a replacement. We'd rather have the relationship than the one-off invoice.
What product warranties come with the work?
+
Full manufacturer warranties on all materials, provided in writing as part of the hand-over.
