Roofing in Deeping St James
The village core has older brick and stone with clay tile, and the usual problems that come with roofs that have been repaired by a few different hands over the years. Mismatched tiles, mortar fillets where lead should be, and flashings that were never quite right. The river runs through the middle of the village, so anything that holds water tends to show up faster here than it does further inland.
The housing built from the seventies on is concrete tile with plastic or timber roofline, and a lot of it has single storey rear extensions with felt or GRP flat roofs. Those extension roofs are usually the first part of the house to fail, because they were laid with almost no fall and the water sits where the ponding is.
Our yard is on Crowland Road, Peterborough, about 6 miles away, so getting to Deeping St James is a short run for us.
Flat roof re-covered
Roofline and guttering renewed
Tiles and ridges put rightIt is a warning. Ponding water finds every weak seam, and in winter it freezes and lifts them. We build a fall back into the deck when we re-cover rather than putting a new skin on a flat surface.
On the roof, looking at it, before quoting. Layers of old patching usually hide one original fault that nobody fixed. We would rather find that than add a fourth patch.
If one or two boards have gone, replace those. If the timber is soft along a whole elevation, doing it in one go costs less than three separate visits with three lots of access.
Ring Stanley and describe what the roof is doing. He will tell you straight whether it needs a repair, a section replacing, or nothing at all yet.
