Roofers Who Know Hunsbury
Hunsbury Hill was developed as one of Northampton's planned residential expansions through the 1980s and 1990s, with some development continuing into the early 2000s. The housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied detached and semi-detached with larger plots and more varied roof profiles than the earlier post-war estates. The earliest 1980s sections are now approaching the age where nail sickness becomes a realistic risk, while the 1990s and 2000s stock is still in generally good condition but beginning to need guttering and fascia attention.
Common Roofing Issues in Hunsbury
Hunsbury differs from the older post-war estates in that emergency tile-loss events are less common — the newer the housing, the better the condition of the fixings. However, the 1980s sections are clearly entering the risk window and we see an increasing number of pre-sale survey requests from Hunsbury as buyers and mortgage lenders begin to flag the roof age. Flat-roofed additions from the 1980s are the most common repair call from this area — original felt on these is now 35 to 45 years old.
