Roofing and high access work across Nottingham

Nottingham is roughly 20 miles south-west of Newark, an easy run along the A46 and A612.

Call anytime; weekend jobs taken.

Nottingham is well within the area Elevation High Access Services covers. The city sits around 20 miles from the Newark base, so the tracked cherry picker can be on site across the city and its suburbs, from Arnold and Mapperley to West Bridgford, Beeston and Carlton.

City work brings particular access problems: tight terraced streets, rear gardens reachable only through narrow passages, and nowhere to put scaffolding without blocking the pavement. A compact tracked platform that travels through a 780mm gap and reaches 18 metres working height suits Nottingham's housing well.

Property types in Nottingham

Nottingham has large areas of Victorian and Edwardian housing: the terraces of Sneinton, Hyson Green, Forest Fields and Sherwood, and the bigger villas of the Park, Mapperley Park and parts of West Bridgford. Many have slate roofs, tall chimneys, bay windows and decorative bargeboards. Beyond them are inter-war and post-war semis, ex-council estates and modern developments, plus commercial buildings, shops and offices across the city.

What Nottingham customers usually need

In Nottingham, typical jobs include chimney repairs on older terraces, replacing slipped slates, re-bedding ridges, gutter cleaning and repairs on high Victorian eaves, high-level painting of bargeboards and gable ends, and operated cherry picker hire for businesses needing safe access to signage and building fronts.

Every job in Nottingham is quoted for free and assessed before the machine is set up. The person who quotes your job is the person who does it: Dennis Whiteman, with 13 years in construction, an IPAF ticket, a CSCS Gold card and an NVQ Level 4 in Site Supervision.

Local issues

Common roof and high-level problems in Nottingham

Victorian slate roofs

Natural slate roofs on Nottingham's Victorian terraces can last a very long time, but the nails holding the slates rust through. Slates then slip, leaving gaps that let rain onto the battens. Replacing individual slates early is far cheaper than dealing with rotten battens later.

Tall chimneys and decorative detail

Many older Nottingham homes have tall, exposed chimney stacks, often shared between neighbours. Freeze-thaw damage to pointing, cracked flaunching and lifted lead are common causes of damp on chimney breasts. Reaching the stack from a platform avoids scaffolding across a narrow street.

Tight streets and rear access

Terraced streets with no front gardens and rear gardens behind narrow entries make access difficult. The tracked machine compacts to 780mm wide, so many rear elevations are reachable through the passage, subject to suitable ground conditions and an assessment before setting up.

Commercial buildings and frontages

Shops, offices and commercial premises across the city often need high-level work done with minimal disruption. Operated cherry picker hire provides a safe working position for maintenance, painting or inspection without scaffolding on the pavement.

Regional coverage

Working in Nottingham and the surrounding area

Nottingham is part of a wider working area that runs up to 40–50 miles from the Newark base, across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire. Customers near Nottingham are also covered in Newark, Mansfield, Leicester, so if you own or manage properties in more than one of these places, the same person can look after all of them.

The services most often booked in Nottingham are roof repairs & maintenance, chimney repairs, high-level painting, operated cherry picker hire. All of them are carried out from the same Teupen LEO 18 GT tracked cherry picker, so related jobs at height can be combined into a single visit rather than paying for the machine to be set up twice.

Planning a job in Nottingham

To get an accurate price quickly, tell us what needs doing, roughly how high it is, and how the machine would reach it, for example the width of a side gate, a rear passage or access across a driveway. A photo taken from the ground is ideal. Mention what the ground is like where the platform would sit, because ground conditions must be suitable for the outriggers.
