Roofer Upper Slaughter

A Closer Look at Our Roofing Services

Here is an overview of roofing services offered by local roofing experts in Upper Slaughter. Local roofers can install tiled roofs in a variety of materials, including clay, concrete and slate. Granite metamorphic rocks are used to make slate tiles. They can be cut into sections with different thicknesses and sizes. Slate tiles are durable and beautiful due to their natural properties. Each tile is unique in its beauty. Slate tiles are also fire resistant and can last for many decades without the need to be repaired. The most common clay options are pantiles or Roman tiles. While the former features a distinctive S-shaped profile with small rolls, the latter is flat and has a cross section that's smaller than the former. Both clay tiles and concrete are stronger than any other material when exposed to high winds, extreme weather, or other conditions. Clay tiles are also resistant to color softening and can retain vivid colors for up to 50 years. Concrete tiles and clay are a cost-effective option for customers living in Upper Slaughtershire and surrounding areas who have tight budgets.

Hip & Ridge tiles

These are usually secured to roofs by local roofing professionals atop a mortar or concrete bed. They play an important role in sealing joints of roofing structures. The ridge tile is installed at the top of the roof. Hip tiles are placed along the corners. These tiles will eventually fall to the elements and need roof repair. The tile's tile base, which seals the joint between the tiles, erodes. This causes small cracks in the pointing to open up that gradually get larger at an increasing rate. The ridge tile pointing can fall off completely if our roofers fail to make the required roof repairs. This could expose the ridge to penetrating moisture. Upper Slaughter-based roofing firms recognize the value of leadwork for roof function. They ensure roof installations and roof repairs are compliant with the highest standards, whether it is lead roofing, step flashing, or cover flashing. Flashings are installed by local roofers around roof features such as chimneys, dormer loft conversions, or valleys. Professional roofing contractors apply leadwork to stop water from entering the interior roofing space.

Chimney Repairs & Pointing

Upper Slaughter homeowners can sometimes allow their chimneys to degrade too quickly. It is a danger to your safety and can also affect the aesthetics of the home. Local roofers can renew the pointing, which is the exterior part of mortar joints, on a chimney to strengthen it and increase weather resistance. They also make it more appealing. Local roofers offer safe and effective moss removal services if there is a substantial buildup. These blocked drainage points can cause rainwater to flow into the property or onto other roof areas if left unattended. These blocked drainage points can lead to additional water damage and costly roof repairs.

Flat-Top Roofing

GRP Flat Roofing

Local Upper Slaughter roofing experts have seen firsthand the exceptional durability that fibreglass roofing offers. GRP roofs, which are made of glass reinforced plastic (GRP), have a reputation for being simple and safe. GRP is flexible and can be used on any type of roof. These roofs are also free from seams, and have an excellent waterproof coating, which makes it difficult for leaks or cracks to form. GRP roofing is constructed by local contractors in layers. These roofs are made up of base decking and liquid resin as well as glass fibre matting, topcoat, and topcoat.

Bitumen Felt Roofing

 Felt roofing is a flat roofing option that combines two components, a waterproofing agent as well as a 'carrier. It has been popular for its cost effectiveness and durability. Technological advancements led to the introduction of polyester, which is the carrier that holds bitumen's waterproofing agent. Polyester is extremely flexible and has a nearly unbreakable ability to withstand the harsh elements. The old-style bitumen was also enhanced by the addition of chemicals like APP (actactic propylene) or SBS (styrenebutadiene stryradene). This makes the product more durable. Local roofers apply multiple layers of roofing feel that have been bonded at high temperatures to the material. They then use heat application techniques, such as torch-on, roll-and-pour, and other methods. This allows our roofers melt the bitumen layers and allow them to add roofing felt to an underlay.
