Roofing in Whittlesey
Whittlesey sits on the fen edge with very little between it and the weather. The older brick terraces in the middle of town have clay tile and shared ridges, and when the wind gets under a loose tile at the end of a run it will take several more with it before it stops. Ridge tiles bedded in tired mortar are the usual first casualty.
The twentieth century housing around the edge has concrete tile and the same exposure problem. We see more wind lifted tiles and more storm damage here than almost anywhere else on the patch, and a lot of it is not old age, it is one bad night. Getting the roof made safe quickly matters more than getting it perfect on the first visit.
Our yard is on Crowland Road, Peterborough, about 5 miles away, so getting to Whittlesey is a short run for us.

Flat roof re-covered
Chimney repairRing the mobile rather than filling in the form. We make roofs watertight first and sort the proper repair afterwards, usually within forty eight hours and sooner if water is coming in.
Often yes, for sudden damage in high winds. We photograph everything before and after and give you a written itemised report in the format insurers ask for.
Dry ridge and dry verge systems clip the tiles down mechanically instead of relying on mortar, and mechanically fixing the perimeter courses makes a real difference on an exposed roof.
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.
