Bristol Roofing Repairs

Roofing work

I am a self employed handyman and I carry out repairs and maintenance to roofs. 

Have a look at the picture below (click to see it larger) for the sort of work that is involved in a roofing project. Even a roof that may look ok at first glance, can be hiding rotten felt and battens under the roof tiles. This is what you can see in the picture below, since, removing the roof tiles has revealed the extent of the damage to the felt and battens. The old and rotten felt and bettens need to be replaced with a new water tight breathable membrane and new battens. When the new protective layer is in place, the roof tiles are layered on top.

 

The picture on the right is from another roofing project in progress highlighting some of the work that roof work can involve. 

Old coping stones are replaced with new ones, and a new breathable membrane is layed which protects from water leaks. New battens placed on top of the membrane, and new roof tiles are placed on top of the battens. Leadwork is done on the edges of tiles and chimney stacks to ensure that the roof is water tight.  

 

The image to the left is the same roof as pictured right above and was taken upon completion from a different angle. 

I can carry out extensive repair work on your roof, replace it completely, or subject to a free assessment replace portions of it that need to be repaired. I will repair leaking roofs, replace roof tiles and perform general maintenance work in your roof. You will receive a durable leak proof construction to enjoy for the years to come. Do not hesitate to give me a call and we can discuss your specific needs in person free of charge. If you are in Bristol or Bath it is easy for me to arrange a meeting with you.  

Setting up a safe environment to carry out roofing tasks is important at all times. When there is extensive roofing work involved a Scaffolding will most likely need to be set up. I can arrange for a scaffolding to be hired and set up all included in your free quote.
