The job

We strip the roof to the rafters, lay a new breathable membrane and treated battens, then slate or tile it with new lead flashings and a dry ridge.

On older stone terraces we keep every sound slate and make up the rest with reclaimed Welsh slate, so the roof still matches the street.

Questions

Do you re-use my old slates?

Yes, where they are sound. We make up the rest with reclaimed Welsh slate, or new Welsh slate if you prefer.

What if you find rotten timber once the roof is open?

We send you photos and price the extra work before we do it.

What can add to the price?

Rotten rafters or battens, rebuilding a chimney stack, or a third lift of scaffold.

Re-roofing: a review

The garage flat roof had leaked for years and two other firms only wanted to patch it. Cronshaw's stripped it back, replaced the rotten boards and put an EPDM membrane on. 20-year guarantee, in writing.
