Most of Earley's homes are in Lower Earley, built from the late 1970s through the 1980s. Their roofs are mostly concrete interlocking tiles, which are hard-wearing. After 40 years, though, the parts around them start to wear out. The mortar bedding the ridge tiles and sealing the verges at the gable ends cracks and falls out. The roofing felt under the tiles can become brittle, and fascias, soffits and gutters reach the end of their life.
Rebedding ridge tiles, or fitting a dry ridge and dry verge system that uses mechanical fixings instead of mortar, is one of the most common jobs here. If several problems are showing at once, ask a roofer to look at the whole roof. Replacing fascias, soffits and gutters while the scaffolding is up is often better value than doing each job separately.
Flat roofs are common too: on garages, porches, dormers and rear extensions. Older felt roofs often start to leak after 15 to 20 years. EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass are longer-lasting alternatives when they need replacing. Rooflights and skylights fitted over the years are another frequent source of leaks, usually at the seals or flashing around them.
The older streets around the Wokingham Road and Maiden Erlegh have a wider mix of homes, from early 20th-century houses with clay tiles or slate to post-war semis.
Scaffolding is often the biggest single cost in a roofing quote, so ask whether it's included and how long it will be up. Ask the roofer to send photos of the problem from the roof, and check what guarantee comes with the work. Reviews on Trade Pilot come from real, invoiced jobs, so you can see which roofers have finished similar work for other homeowners.

Commonly the ridge and verge mortar, the fascias, soffits and gutters, and sometimes the felt under the tiles. A roofer can check the whole roof and tell you what's urgent and what can wait.
Often, yes. If they're both near the end of their life, doing them together means paying for access once, and it's the best time to check the roof edge.
