New Roofs, Tile & Slate in Chipping Norton & Oxfordshire

A roof gets to a point where patching it is throwing money away. The tiles are porous, the nails have rusted through, the battens have gone soft and the felt underneath has torn. At that point the roof comes off, and what goes back on is a roof built to current practice rather than whatever was done in 1965.

We strip the covering, look at the timber and replace what has rotted, then lay breathable membrane, new treated battens and the covering you have chosen, tile or slate. Verges, ridges, valleys and the abutments against chimneys and walls are all detailed as we go, because that is where roofs leak, not in the middle.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong

Patching a roof past saving

Another repair every winter costs more over five years than the roof would have.

How we handle itWe tell you honestly whether yours wants repairing or replacing, and why.

Old timber covered back over

Battens and rafters left in because the covering was all anyone looked at.

How we handle itThe timber is checked once the roof is open and what has gone is replaced.

Weak points left as they were

Most leaks start at a valley, a verge or where the roof meets the chimney.

How we handle itThose details are reworked as part of the job, not left for later.
