Roofs on this coast take a hammering. Salt air off Southampton Water, driving winter rain and decades of sun tire out felt, battens and fixings long before the tiles themselves look bad. A proper re-roof strips everything back, replaces the felt and battens, upgrades the ventilation and re-covers the roof so the whole system is sound, not just the surface.
The old covering, felt and battens come off completely, so we can see and fix any timber problems before the new roof goes on over the top of them.
Modern breathable membrane and treated battens replace the brittle old felt that is usually the real reason a tired roof leaks.
Ridge and eaves ventilation set up properly so the loft stays dry, with the roof build-up brought up to current standards as we go.
Re-use sound tiles, match the originals, or take the chance to upgrade to a better covering. We will price the options so you can choose.
Telltale signs are repeated leaks in different places, nail fatigue with tiles slipping across the roof, and old felt that crumbles when touched. We will get up and look for free, and if a repair will genuinely sort it, that is what we will tell you.
No. We strip and re-cover in sections and the roof is left weather-tight at the end of every day, so a change in the forecast does not become a problem in your loft.
Usually, yes. Between reclaimed tiles, current equivalents and careful blending we can normally get a re-roof to sit in with the originals, which matters on older streets and in conservation areas.
We clear everything away as part of the job. Sound tiles worth saving can be re-used or set aside for you; the rest goes in the skip and the site is left clean.
