⚠️ THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR ROOF AND HOPE FOR THE BEST…
Another eye-opening job for our Facebook followers.
Once we started stripping this old slate roof, the true condition underneath became clear. From the outside, you could see slipped, broken and heavily repaired slates — but underneath was far worse.
There is no proper roofing membrane/felt, the old battens are heavily deteriorated, sections of timber are rotten and damaged, there are open holes straight into the property, poor previous repairs, foam used where proper roofing work should have been carried out, and nails/fixings that have been left in a dangerous condition.
This is exactly why repeatedly patching an old roof can eventually become false economy. Water gets through the slates and, without a proper secondary membrane, it can get straight into the roof structure. Over years, that moisture can attack the battens and structural timbers until the damage becomes much more extensive.
A&E Roofing Limited will now completely transform this roof. We’ll strip it properly, assess and replace defective structural timber where required, install the correct breathable membrane, new treated battens, correct leadwork and detailing, and rebuild the roof properly with everything it needs for long-term protection.
No covering problems up. No expanding foam and hoping for the best. We expose the problem, put the structure right and build the roof back properly.
Keep watching this one — the before-and-after transformation is going to be massive. 🏠🔨
