Roofing in Yaxley

The roofs round here

Yaxley is largely post-war estate housing with later infill and new build mixed in. The roofs themselves are usually sound, because concrete interlocking tile lasts a long time, but the bits around them are what fail. Plastic fascias that have gone brittle and dropped off their fixings, gutter joints that drip, and dry verges that were clipped on badly and have popped loose.

The other common one is the rear extension. Almost every house here has one, and the flat roof on it is the oldest part of the building in real terms. Felt that has gone hard and split at the upstand is the single most common thing we get asked to look at in this part of town.

Our yard is on Crowland Road, Peterborough, about 7 miles away, so getting to Yaxley is a short run for us.

Yaxley roofing FAQs

Is it worth patching a felt flat roof or replacing it?

If the felt is hard and cracking across the whole roof, patching buys you a winter at best. If it is one split at a good upstand, a patch is fair value. We will tell you which you have got.

What is the difference between GRP and rubber?

GRP is a fibreglass shell laid wet and cured in place, very hard wearing and good on smaller roofs. Rubber comes as a single sheet with no seams, which suits bigger roofs. Both outlast felt by years.

My gutter drips at one joint. Can that be fixed on its own?

Usually yes, a new union and clean seal. If the run has sagged and the brackets are pulling out of soft fascia board then the joint is a symptom and the board is the problem.

Rather just talk it through?
