Roof Repairs

Large Roofs Have More Places for Water to Get In

The substantial Victorian houses of Rathgar have roofs broken up by hips, valleys, dormers and tall chimney stacks. Every one of those junctions is a place where water can find a way in, and on a big roof the source of a leak is not always obvious.

We trace the leak back from the stain, checking the slopes, valleys, lead and ridge above it, and repair what has actually failed. On roofs this size, a targeted repair is far cheaper than replacement and leaves the rest of the original slate untouched.

Where we find other areas close to failing while we are up there, we note them in the written quote so you can decide what to do now and what can wait.

Roof Leak Repairs in Rathgar

On a large period roof, the most common leaks come from valleys, the junction with a dormer or bay, and slipped slates near the hips. We find which one it is before we quote. If the leak is from a flat roof over a bay or extension, our Flat Roofing in Rathgar page covers that.

Lead Flashing & Valley Repairs

Valleys on Rathgar houses are often long and lined with lead that has done decades of work. When it splits or wears thin, we strip and reline the valley, check the boards beneath it, and use lead of a weight suited to the position. Flashings at walls and dormer cheeks are renewed the same way.

Roof Repairs

Dry Ridge, Verge & Hip Repairs

Hipped period roofs carry long runs of ridge and hip tiles bedded in mortar. When that mortar fails, we can refix them on a dry ridge or dry hip system, held mechanically, reusing the original tiles where they are sound.

What Has Failed

A few slates are a small job compared with relining a long valley.

Factor 03

Matching Materials

Original slates on period houses can take time to match.

Factor 04

Hidden Damage

FAQs

Your Roof Repair Questions Answered

Can you find a leak on a roof with lots of valleys?

Yes. We work back from the stain and check each valley, junction and slope above it until we find the source.

Will you keep the original slates?

Where they are sound, yes. We only replace slates that have failed, and match the replacements as closely as we can.

Is a lead valley worth replacing rather than patching?

If the lead has split or worn thin, patching rarely lasts. New lead laid properly is the lasting fix.

How long does a valley repair take?

A single valley is often finished within a couple of working days once access is ready, depending on the weather.
