π‘β¨ Another successful roof repair completed on this beautiful Victorian property in Hereford! β¨π‘
This traditional slate roof is over 120 years old and was originally designed without roofing felt, relying on the slate system itself to keep the property watertight. The homeowner has lived in the property for around 50 years and has only recently experienced leaks due to missing and slipped slates. π§οΈπ
π¨ Our team carried out repairs across the entire roof, including:
β
Replacing numerous damaged and missing slates
β
Securing slipped slates back into their correct positions
β
Sealing and waterproofing 3 lead valleys to prevent water ingress π§
β
Replacing rotten timber battens where required to provide a strong fixing point for the slates
In one area where several slates had been lost, we found the existing battens had deteriorated and become rotten. We replaced these with new timber battens, ensuring the slates are securely fixed and the roof remains protected for years to come. π©π‘
Working on historic roofs like this requires care, experience, and an understanding of traditional roofing methods. We take great pride in preserving these beautiful properties while providing long-lasting repairs. β€οΈ
β Another great repair completed
β Another happy customer
β Another roof ready to stand the test of time
