Slate and tile
-
Reading's Victorian terraces were slated to last and plenty are now due, so we get up and look first before saying what yours actually needs.
-
Natural slate, fibre cement or tile, relaid over new battens and a breathable membrane rather than the old felt.
-
Ridge and hip fixed mechanically under BS 5534, as mortar bedding by itself fell short of the standard long ago.
-
Loft airflow protected as we work, so a tighter, warmer roof does not hand you condensation in return.
Flat roofs
-
GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber or torch-on felt on Reading's back additions, chosen to suit the deck and the falls.
-
Decking exposed and checked before recovering, since a spongy board will print through whatever goes on top.
-
Proper falls to the outlet, with trims, upstands and drips formed to drop water away cleanly.
-
Flashing detailed around rooflights, hatches and pipes, the places flat roofs almost always fail.
Leaks and repairs
-
Slipped slates, storm damage and leaks traced to the actual source, which on a Reading terrace is often the valley or flashing not a slate.
-
Lead to the right code on flashings, soakers, valleys and chimneys, in place of mastic and wishful thinking.
-
Gutters, fascias, soffits and downpipes cleared or renewed, as damp inside a wall usually begins with an overflow.
-
Scaffold or tower to suit access, ground sheeted throughout, and the street swept before we finish up.
