Roofing, from repairs to a new roof
A leak, loose roof tiles or a flat roof that needs replacing: a roof needs attention from time to time. We work on flat and pitched roofs, for homes and commercial premises.
Why have an all-round builder do your roofing?
A roof is rarely separate from the rest of the house. If there is a leak, the ceiling below may be damaged as well, and a new roof covering is a good moment to insulate. Because we also do the work inside, we handle that in the same project. Would you like to know what your roof needs?
First investigate, then repair or renew
Looking at the whole roof, not just the leak
Where a leak shows inside is not always where the water gets into the roof. That is why we first look at the whole roof: the covering, the seams, the gutters and the junctions. Only then do we tell you whether a repair is enough, or whether replacement is the wiser choice.
When replacing a roof, we remove the old roof covering and check the base underneath. We replace any damaged sections of the roof boarding. Is it a good moment to insulate? Then we fit the insulation before the new covering goes on. After that, we neatly finish the roof edges and the junctions of the new roof covering. Inside, we repair the ceiling where needed, so nothing there reminds you of the leak either.
Combining roofing with insulation, a dormer or an extra storey
The right moment for a bigger job
Does the roof have to be opened anyway for new covering or tiles? Then that is a logical moment to look further. A dormer or an extra storey can then be included in the same project. That way, the roof only has to be opened once.
Insulation is also closely linked to the roof. With an insulated roof, the heat stays in better in winter, and the loft stays cooler in summer. The insulation can go on the outside, under the new covering, or on the inside, beneath the roof boarding. Which method is right depends on your roof and on what you want to do with the space below. Inside, we then finish the ceiling and the walls with plastering and painting.
Roofing and finishing in pictures
You can tell good roofing mainly by the details: crisp edges, flat roof covering and neat junctions. On our projects page, you can see how we work and finish. Feel free to take a look before you get in touch.
