Roofers For Oswestry, Whitchurch, Wem And The Shropshire Border
North Shropshire is on our Wrexham doorstep: Oswestry is less than twenty miles away, with Ellesmere, Whitchurch, Prees and Wem a little further on. Our area runs from Oswestry across to Wem and Prees and up to Whitchurch on the Cheshire border, and we cover that whole stretch.
The towns and villages are a mix of historic market towns, red-brick Victorian terraces, inter-war and post-war housing, and farmhouses and rural homes spread across mostly flat, open country. That openness means wind and weather get at roofs, and ridges, verges and chimney stacks often take the brunt.
We quote in writing after seeing the roof. New roofs and full re-roofs carry our 10-year workmanship guarantee, and repairs carry 12 months.
A short drive over the border and the roofing problems are much the same: wind-lifted ridges, tired flat roofs and chimneys that need attention.
North Shropshire At A Glance
- Typical roofs
- Clay and concrete tile on market-town and village homes, slate on older properties near the Welsh border, and flat roofs on extensions and garages.
- Often needs
- Ridge and verge repairs, repointed chimney stacks, replacement fascias and gutters, and flat roofs that have reached the end of their felt.
- Worth knowing
- The older centres of Oswestry, Whitchurch and Ellesmere have conservation areas and listed buildings. Check with the council before work changes how a roof looks.
- From our base
- Oswestry is under twenty miles from Wrexham. Whitchurch, Ellesmere, Wem and Prees are a little further.

What We Are Often Asked To Fix In North Shropshire
These are the jobs that come up most on roofs across the border country.
Wind and weather on open sites
Across the flat, open country between Oswestry, Ellesmere and Whitchurch, ridges, hips and verges take a lot of wind. We rebed and repoint what has loosened and check the tiles beneath, so you do not have the same fault next winter.
Chimney stacks on period and village homes
Brick stacks on older homes suffer from weathered pointing, cracked flaunching and lifted lead. Repointing and re-flashing usually stops the damp, with a rebuild only where the brickwork has failed.
Flat roofs on extensions and garages
Flat roofs added to older homes are often the first thing to leak. We renew the covering and the edge and abutment details, which is where most failures begin.
Fascias, soffits and guttering on older homes
Where timber fascias have rotted and gutters have split, water runs down walls and into the eaves. Replacing them together is tidier and better value than doing them one at a time.

Over The Border From Wrexham
Oswestry, Whitchurch and Ellesmere all have older town centres, and beyond them the villages around Prees, Wem and Baschurch have a mix of period cottages, farmhouses and newer estates. The right answer depends on the building, so we look before we quote.
Parts of north Shropshire are rural, and homes are often reached by lanes and farm drives. We check access, scaffold and materials delivery before quoting, so the price covers what the job actually involves.
