Roofers in Northampton, from slipped slates to whole new roofs
Family-run roofers in Northampton, covering Abington, Kingsthorpe, Duston, Far Cotton and every estate out to Wootton and Moulton. Best Top Roofing Ltd repairs leaks and slipped slates, replaces whole roofs with a 10 year guarantee, lays EPDM and GRP flat roofs and cleans gutters. Ring 07429 820474 and Thomas will come out and give you a fixed written price.
A Northampton terrace often shares its roof line with several neighbours, while the house behind it has a separate kitchen roof and an old workshop in the yard. The boot and shoe streets around Abington and the Mounts explain that arrangement: housing and industry grew together. Slate remains part of the local roofscape, recorded on St Giles' Terrace and the factory buildings around Perry Street. Far Cotton and St James add further streets of older brick housing. Kingsthorpe and Duston contain older village buildings alongside later suburban homes, so their roof coverings are less uniform. Out towards East Hunsbury and Wootton, newer tiled houses bring attached garages, different roof pitches and junctions between the original house and its extensions into the inspection.
On a slate terrace, a slipped piece is only the visible symptom if its fixing has corroded. We examine adjacent slates, the battens and the lead around the stack before deciding how much needs attention. Tight rear additions need a separate drainage check: an overflowing outlet can send water back against a wall even when the main slope is sound. For tiled suburban roofs, cracked ridge bedding and damaged underfelt call for different repairs. Our work covers slate and tile replacement, chimney repointing, dressed leadwork and new flat coverings in felt, rubber or fibreglass. Historic streets within conservation areas need their materials checked before changes are agreed. A full re-roof is specified from the roof's condition, rather than its age alone.
Tell Thomas which part of Northampton the property is in and what you have noticed, including whether the water appears during rain or afterwards. The visit and quote are free. We explain the fault, set out the proposed roofing work and give you a fixed written price to consider without pressure. On terraces, access through a side passage and space for scaffold are part of that conversation. Best Top is a family business: the people answering your call are the family carrying out the job. Homeowners, landlords arranging repairs for tenants and small business owners all use the same service. New re-roofs carry a 10 year guarantee. Ring 07429 820474, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, to arrange a look.

Northampton questions
Can you repair just my part of a Northampton terrace roof?
Yes. We establish where your roof meets the adjoining property and trace the leak across that junction. On the older Abington and Far Cotton terraces, that includes the chimney and rear additions. Your written quote identifies the work to your roof and the access needed.
Does an old slate roof near St Giles need concrete tiles instead?
Replacement starts with checking the existing slate, supporting timber and any heritage controls on the address. Concrete tiles are not an automatic substitute. We explain the repair or re-roof specification and retain the roof's appropriate material and details in the proposal.
Do you replace garage roofs in Duston and East Hunsbury?
We cover both areas for garage roofing. Thomas checks the deck, the roof edges and the outlet before recommending EPDM, GRP or torch-on felt. The quote includes replacement decking where needed and the drainage work required for the finished roof.
