Roofing in Werrington
Werrington went up quickly in the seventies and eighties and the roofs all went on at once, which means they are all reaching the same age at the same time. Concrete interlocking tile does not usually crack, it wears. The surface goes, the tile takes up water, it gets heavier and more brittle, and then a frost or a foot in the wrong place finishes it off.
Underneath, the bitumen felt of that era has gone hard and torn at the eaves, and the ridges were bedded in sand and cement that is now crumbling out. Half the estate has the same three jobs waiting for it: tiles, ridge, and roofline. Doing them together on one scaffold is far cheaper than three separate visits.
Our yard is on Crowland Road, Peterborough, about 3 miles away, so getting to Werrington is a short run for us.
Tiles and ridges put right
Roofline and guttering renewed
On the road across PeterboroughMortar bedding from the seventies has had forty years of frost. Rather than re-bedding it in the same stuff, a dry ridge system clips each tile down mechanically and does not need maintaining.
Not necessarily. Same age does not mean same condition, it depends which way your roof faces and how sheltered it is. We will look and tell you if you have got years left.
A rigid tray at the bottom edge of the roof that carries water off the perished felt and into the gutter instead of behind it. It is a cheap part of a roofline job and it stops the fascia rotting again.
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.
