Local Roofers Serving Reading
Reading sits about 7 miles from our Wokingham base, close enough that a roof in RG1, RG2, RG4 or RG30 can be looked at without a long wait. Union Roofing works on homes right across the town, and the roofs here are as mixed as the streets: rows of Victorian terraces in red and grey brick, inter-war semis, post-war estates and newer houses on the edges of town.
That mix is why a roofer in Reading has to be comfortable with every kind of covering. A terrace off the Oxford Road usually means Welsh slate, a tall chimney stack and a back addition with its own small roof, while a 1930s semi in Caversham is more likely to have clay plain tiles and a hipped roof. You get one roofer for all of it, and clear, honest advice about what your roof actually needs before anything is priced.

Common Roof Problems in Reading
Tired Slate on Victorian Terraces
Many of Reading's terraced roofs are well over a century old. Nail fatigue lets slates slip one by one, and once a few have gone the felt or boards beneath take the rain.
Chimney Stacks & Flashings
Tall brick stacks shared between neighbours weather badly at the top, and failed lead where the stack meets the slope is one of the most common sources of a leak.
Back Additions & Valleys
The small roofs over rear kitchens and bathrooms meet the main roof in valleys and abutments that collect debris and let water in when they are neglected.
Ageing Flat Roofs on Extensions
Felt roofs laid decades ago on extensions and garages blister, split and pond water long before the rest of the house needs attention.

What Affects the Cost of Roofing Work in Reading
No two Reading roofs are priced the same, so the figure is worked out once the roof has been looked at rather than guessed over the phone. These are the things that move it.
FREE, No-Obligation Quotations
Every roof is looked at before it is priced, so the figure you get is the figure for your job. Your quotation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
The Size & Pitch of the Roof
A steep terrace roof with a back addition takes a different amount of work from a low, hipped bungalow roof.
Slate, Tile or Flat Covering
Natural slate, clay tiles and fibreglass each have their own material and labour costs.
Access & Scaffolding
Terraced streets with no side access and busy roads near the town centre can change how the scaffold goes up.
Matching the Existing Roof
Sourcing slates or tiles that sit well beside the neighbours' roof can take extra time on older streets.
