Roof Repairs in Yate

Yate grew fast from the 1950s onwards, and most of its homes date from the postwar decades, with estates of semis and terraces roofed in concrete tiles. Many of those roofs are now well into middle age. Next door, Chipping Sodbury's older stone buildings bring a different set of repairs. Across Yate we see a lot of worn ridge mortar, slipped tiles and flashings that have simply reached the end of their life.

We have been roofing since 1993. You get a free survey, a clear fixed price in writing and a ten year guarantee on the work, with nothing to pay until the job is done and you are satisfied.

When a Yate roof leaks, the cause is often an original tile that has cracked, a ridge that has lost its mortar or a flashing that has come away from a chimney or extension wall. We inspect the roof from the loft and from outside to pin down the source, then repair it properly so the leak does not come back.

Mortar-bedded ridges on postwar roofs in Yate are a common problem. Once the mortar cracks and falls away, ridge tiles can rock loose and water gets in beneath them. We rebed and repoint ridges, or where suitable replace them with a dry-fix ridge system that is mechanically fixed and needs no mortar.

On most roofs in Yate, a repair is the right answer and we will tell you so. Where the original underlay and battens have failed throughout, we will show you what we have found and set out the options in writing before you decide anything.
