Roofers and solar installers in Chester.

Roofing and solar panels in Chester

Chester is a walled Roman city with Georgian and Victorian streets, riverside suburbs such as Handbridge and Hoole, and newer estates around Upton and Blacon. We repair and replace roofs and fit solar panels across the whole city and the villages around it.

Older Chester homes often have natural slate or clay tile roofs with lead valleys, tall chimney stacks and decorative ridges, which need careful repair and the right materials. Terraces share chimneys and party walls, and 1930s and later houses have concrete tile roofs that benefit from ridge re-bedding and moss removal.

Many Chester roofs face a useful direction for solar, and newer estates in Upton and Blacon often have simple, unshaded roof slopes that suit panels well. Older buildings need more thought about how panels sit on slate and how the roof is accessed.
