Malvern is unlike most Worcestershire towns. The Hills bring sharper weather than the Severn Vale, much of the housing stock is Victorian or Edwardian, and a significant proportion of properties sit within the Malvern Conservation Area — meaning roofing work often has to use specific materials and methods. We've spent years building exactly that experience.
ASH Roofing is a Worcestershire family business (Companies House no. 15883533), fully insured, with professional experience working on Malvern roofs of every type — from slate-clad cottages near the Common to substantial Edwardian villas overlooking the Hills.

Why Malvern roofs are a specialism
The Malvern Hills are made of some of the oldest rock in England, and the housing reflects centuries of building tradition. Welsh slate is the dominant roofing material across the older parts of town — the kind of slate that, if maintained properly, can outlast three or four generations of homeowners. Where modern concrete tiles have been used as cheap replacements, they often look out of place and create problems with weight distribution on older timber structures.
We approach Malvern roofs the way they should be approached: match the original where you can, repair before you replace, and use the right materials. We source reclaimed slates from Welsh quarries, use traditional bedding methods on ridges and verges, and treat lead flashings with the care they deserve.
For properties in the Conservation Area or those close to listed buildings, we're familiar with the planning constraints — and we'll happily discuss with the conservation officer at Malvern Hills District Council if needed.
Storm damage and the Hills weather
Malvern catches more weather than most of Worcestershire. Wind speeds across the ridge regularly exceed those at lower elevations, and that exposes weak points: lifted ridge tiles, slipped slates, lead flashings pulled out of pointing. If a storm hits and you have a leak, call us first. We can usually be at most Malvern addresses within hours, with a temporary cover the same day and a permanent repair within the week.
