As a locally based company operating from our Leicester premises, we are never more than a short drive from Wigston. This proximity means we can respond quickly to emergency call-outs - if a storm has dislodged tiles or a sudden leak has developed, we can be on your doorstep promptly to make the situation safe and carry out the necessary repairs. We do not use sub-contractors or national call centres; when you phone us, you speak directly to our team, and the roofer who arrives at your home is a direct employee of Sykes Roofing, trained to our exacting standards and accountable for the quality of their work.
We offer a comprehensive range of roofing services to Wigston residents. For homeowners needing a complete roof replacement, we install new pitched roofs using premium concrete and clay tiles from leading manufacturers such as Marley, Redland, and Sandtoft, as well as natural and artificial slate roofs for those seeking a premium finish. Our flat roofing division installs GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber, and high-performance felt systems, all backed by manufacturer warranties and our own 10+ year workmanship guarantee. For repairs, we handle everything from a single slipped tile to extensive storm damage, including chimney repointing and rebuilds, lead work, gutter cleaning and replacement, fascia and soffit installation, and 24/7 emergency call-outs.
A leak or storm-damaged roof needs attention quickly. We can make the roof watertight, explain the repair, and return to complete the work properly. See our roof repair service.

Roofing in Wigston: what we know about local homes
A good roofing recommendation starts with the property and the setting, not a one-size-fits-all package.
01
Homes around Wigston
The properties around Wigston vary from older brick and stone homes to modern family houses with extensions and garages. That mix means the right roofing solution depends on the age, construction, and condition of each individual property. We inspect the roof properly before recommending work, rather than assuming every home needs the same system.
02
Weather and roof maintenance in Wigston
Wind, heavy rain, falling leaves, and seasonal moss can all expose small weaknesses in a roof. Blocked gutters, tired mortar, slipped tiles, and ageing flat roof membranes are much easier to deal with when found early. Our local surveys help homeowners understand what needs attention now and what can be planned for later.
03
A roofer who knows the area
We work across Wigston and the surrounding Leicestershire areas, so we understand the property styles and common roofing issues in the region. Whether you need a small repair, a flat roof replacement, or a complete new roof, our own team provides the same clear advice and careful finish from start to finish.
01
Free roof survey
Every roofing project we undertake in Wigston begins with a free, no-obligation roof survey. One of our experienced surveyors will visit your property at a time that suits you, thoroughly inspect the condition of your roof from inside and out, take measurements, and discuss your requirements, preferences, and budget. We will explain our findings in plain English, answer any questions you may have, and provide clear, honest recommendations. Within 48 hours, you will receive a detailed written quotation that itemises all materials, labour, waste disposal, and any additional work required. There is absolutely no obligation to proceed, and we never charge a call-out fee for surveys or quotations.
02
Clear quotation
All our work is backed by a 10+ year workmanship guarantee on new roof installations and a 5-year guarantee on repairs. We also offer insurance-backed guarantees for additional peace of mind, meaning that even in the unlikely event that something happens to Sykes Roofing, your guarantee is protected by an independent insurer. We carry public liability insurance up to £10 million, employer liability insurance, and professional indemnity cover, so you are fully protected when you choose us to work on your property. We handle all building regulations notifications on your behalf, ensuring that your roofing work is fully compliant and properly certified.
03
Tidy project delivery
We understand that having roofing work carried out on your home can be disruptive, and we go out of our way to minimise the impact on your daily life. Our teams protect your property with dust sheets and tarps, remove all waste daily to licensed facilities, and keep the site clean and tidy throughout the project. Our site manager keeps you informed of progress at every stage, and we conduct a thorough quality inspection on completion before handing over your written guarantee. Our goal is not just to fix your roof, but to provide a complete customer experience that leaves you confident in recommending us to your friends, family, and neighbours in Wigston.

Common roofing problems we fix in Wigston
These are the issues we are called to most often, and how we put each one right.
Slipped tiles and storm damage
01
What you may notice
Tiles on the drive, a slipped ridge, or daylight visible in the loft.
Wind and ageing fixings can loosen roof coverings around Wigston. We replace or refix damaged tiles, check the surrounding area, and make sure a small failure has not allowed water into the roof structure.
Water staining, damp patches, or a leak that appears after heavy rain.
Lead flashings, mortar joints, valleys, and roof junctions all need careful inspection. We trace the source of the leak, repair the failed detail, and explain what has been done so you can feel confident about the result.
Pooling water, splits, blisters, or staining below an extension or garage roof.
Older felt and poorly drained flat roofs can fail gradually. We inspect the deck and falls before recommending a GRP, EPDM, or felt system that suits the property and its intended use.
