Roofing in Peterborough
Peterborough is really three roofs in one city. The Victorian terraces around Millfield and New England were slated or clay tiled and are now mostly on their second or third covering, often with old nails rusting through and mortar bedded ridges that have gone soft. The 1930s semis have concrete tiles that have gone porous and lost their surface, and the felt underneath them has usually perished at the eaves where it gets the most weather.
The newer estates are a different problem again. Concrete interlocking tile on thin battens, plastic roofline and a lot of shallow pitched extension flat roofs that were only ever going to last twenty years. Most of what we get called to in the city is one of those three things reaching the end of its life rather than anything dramatic.
Our yard is on Crowland Road, Peterborough, about 4 miles away, so getting to Peterborough is a short run for us.
Tiles and ridges put right
Roofline and guttering renewed
Flat roof re-coveredYes. We work up to the party line and make the junction watertight. If the problem is sitting in the valley or the shared ridge we will tell you honestly, because those sometimes need a word with the neighbour before anyone spends money.
Concrete tiles go porous with age and start to flake. A handful of bad ones is a repair. If most of the roof is breaking up when you walk it, patching is money down the drain and we will say so.
For a small repair usually not, a tower or a ladder is enough. For a strip and re-cover, or anything along the eaves, scaffolding goes up because it is the only safe way to work along a roof edge.
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.
