From slipped slates on a Victorian terrace to a full re-roof on a 1970s semi, Weathershield Roofing takes on roofing work for homes and businesses across Wellingborough. We're based in Northampton, a short drive along the A45, and every quote is free.
Wellingborough has grown in clear stages, and you can see each one in its roofs. Close to the town centre are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many originally slated and since re-covered in concrete tiles. Older buildings in the centre use the warm brown local ironstone, and parts of the historic core are a conservation area.
The big estates built in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Queensway and Hemmingwell, brought rows of semis and terraces with flat-roofed garages and timber fascias, many of which are now well past their best. On the edges of town, Stanton Cross and Glenvale Park are adding a large number of new homes.
The town sits in the Nene valley, where the River Ise joins, and damp winters are when blocked gutters and tired flat roofs usually give themselves away. On the commercial side, the industrial estates at Denington and Park Farm are full of warehouses and factory units with large flat and low-pitched roofs.
From our base in Northampton we reach Wellingborough along the A45 past Earls Barton, and we cover the surrounding villages too, from Finedon and Wilby to Irchester and Wollaston.
Areas we cover around Wellingborough: Finedon, Irchester, Wollaston, Earls Barton, Great Doddington, Wilby, Little Harrowden, Great Harrowden, Ecton, Queensway, Hemmingwell, Redwell.

Many homes on the post-war estates in Wellingborough are still on their original concrete tiles, and the felt underneath is often brittle or torn. A new roof installation replaces the lot: tiles, battens and a modern breathable membrane, with insulation upgraded where it makes sense. On older terraces we can use slate to match the houses either side so the street keeps its look. We will talk you through the materials and what is actually needed before you commit to anything.
Flat roofs turn up all over Wellingborough, on 1970s garages, rear kitchen extensions, dormers and shop units. When an old felt roof starts pooling water or cracking, we can repair it or replace it with traditional felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. Each suits a different job, so we look at the size, the use and your budget before recommending one. Find out more about our flat roofing service, including the industrial glass fibre systems used on larger commercial roofs.
Slate was the standard covering for the Victorian and Edwardian streets near Wellingborough town centre, and plenty of those roofs are still going. The usual trouble is slipped slates, where the original nails have rusted through. Our aim is always to save you the cost of a re-roof, so we give you an honest appraisal with photos of what we find, then let you decide. If the slates really have reached the end of their life, our slate roofing team can carry out a full re-slate.
Timber fascias on the town’s 1960s and 1970s houses often rot behind the gutter, and once they go the gutters start to sag and drip. We can replace the whole run of fascia, soffit and gutter in your choice of colour and style, or simply repair and clean what you already have. Homes near mature trees can fill their gutters in a single Wellingborough autumn. See our fascias, soffits and guttering page for the full range.
Most roofing problems in Wellingborough start small: a cracked tile, a gap in the ridge mortar, a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling after heavy rain. Catching them early usually keeps the cost down. We handle roof repairs of every size, from replacing a single tile to fixing worn eaves, missing mortar and persistent leaks. Andrew and the team will explain what has gone wrong and what it will take to put it right, and the quote is free with no obligation.
Businesses on the Denington and Park Farm estates rely on their roofs to protect stock, machinery and staff. Our commercial roofing covers warehouses, manufacturing buildings, retail units, offices, schools and community buildings, using systems such as industrial glass fibre roofing for large flat areas. Whether you manage one unit in Wellingborough or several sites across the county, we will discuss a plan that suits the building and the budget, with timings agreed to keep disruption down.

Yes, re-roofing one house in a terrace is routine work. The new roof is tied in neatly at the party wall so the join with your neighbour stays weathertight. If the job involves cutting into or raising the party wall itself, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply, so speak to your neighbour early and get advice if you are unsure.
Check your new home warranty and contact the builder first, because many defects in a home’s early years are theirs to put right. If your home is outside that period, or the problem is not covered, we can inspect the roof and give you a free quote for the repair.
Not usually for like-for-like repairs, but changing the look or materials of a roof in a conservation area can need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent for most alterations. Wellingborough is covered by North Northamptonshire Council, so check with their planning team before work starts.
