Roof Repairs Whitletts

What we look at during a roof repair in Whitletts

Whitletts has a broad mix of suburban housing, including terraces, semi-detached homes and later developments. Concrete tiled pitches are common, but individual properties may also have slate sections, hipped roofs, attached garages and flat-roofed porches or extensions. Re-roofing and alterations carried out at different times can leave changes in tile profile, underlay, verge treatment or gutter level. For that reason, a repair in Whitletts should be matched to the actual roof build-up and to any newer section joined to it, rather than specified from the street view alone.

On tiled roofs we look for cracked or displaced units, movement at ridges and verges, and signs that water has reached the underlay or eaves. On garages and extensions, falls, outlets and perimeter upstands become more important. Where two roof types meet, the junction must handle both movement and concentrated run-off, so it is assessed as one connected system rather than two separate surfaces.
