Why we serve Derby
5 Star Home Improvement has been completing driveways, roofing, patios, and landscaping projects right across Derby for years. From the Victorian terraces off Normanton Road to the newer builds out on Kingsway, our team knows Derby's housing stock inside out. Whether you're in Allestree, Mickleover, or closer to the city centre near the Silk Mill on Full Street, we're never far away and always ready to provide a free, no-obligation survey at a time that suits you.
Derby's housing mix is genuinely varied — you'll find Edwardian semis in Littleover, post-war council-built estates in Sinfin, and contemporary new-builds along the Derwent Valley. That diversity demands a contractor who understands different roof pitches, driveway substrates, and drainage requirements. Our team carries out full site assessments before any work begins, ensuring the right materials and methods are used every time, whether that's block paving on a sloped drive in Mackworth or tarmac resurfacing near Pride Park.
Local features we know well: Derby Cathedral on Iron Gate, Intu Derby Shopping Centre, St Peter's Street, Pride Park Stadium, Derby Silk Mill — Museum of Making, Full Street, Markeaton Park.

FAQs about our work in Derby
How quickly can you get to Derby?
Derby is one of our most regularly visited areas. Based in Burton upon Trent, we can typically reach Derby within 30 to 40 minutes via the A38 or A516. For emergency roofing callouts, we aim to be on site the same day wherever possible. Call us on +44 7944 852580 and we'll give you an honest ETA.
Do you cover Mickleover and Littleover?
Yes, absolutely. Mickleover and Littleover are two of our busiest areas within Derby. We regularly carry out driveway installations, roof repairs, and garden landscaping across DE3 postcodes. Both areas have a strong mix of detached and semi-detached properties, and we're very familiar with the access and parking challenges some of those streets present.
Can you install a new driveway on a steep slope in Allestree?
Yes. Allestree has some noticeably sloped plots, particularly on roads like Allestree Lane and around the reservoir. We assess gradient, drainage, and soil stability before recommending a surface. Tarmac with proper edging and drainage channels is often the most practical and durable solution for steeper driveways in that area.
What roofing services do you offer in Derby?
We cover the full range — roof repairs, full roof replacements, flat roofing in EPDM or GRP, chimney repointing and repairs, ridge tile replacement, and emergency storm damage callouts. We work across all Derby postcodes and can usually arrange a free roof survey within 48 hours of your call.
Are your Derby quotes genuinely free with no obligation?
Completely. We visit, assess the job properly, and provide a written, itemised quote at no cost to you. There's no pressure to proceed and no call-out fee. We believe in earning your trust before you commit to a penny — and that approach has built us a solid reputation across Derby and the surrounding area.
Do you work on properties near Pride Park or the city centre?
Yes. We take on jobs close to Pride Park, Castlefields, and the city centre regularly. Parking and access in those areas requires planning ahead, which we account for in our project scheduling. If you're on a terraced street or a Victorian property with limited driveway space, we're well practised in working efficiently without disrupting your neighbours.
