Here is our most recent job for Mr Ward on his farm In Fremington near Barnstaple.

The barn was in bit of a sorry state and once it was stripped of the existing slates several rafters needed replacing which we did before felt and battening.

The facias and bargeboards were also renewed and had 3 coats of light oak wood stain for protection. All guttering was replaced with black half round and down pipes fitted.

The roof is slated now with Brazilian grey greens using hook fix and all perimeters nailed with copper nails.

The ridge were fixed with dry ridge system which means they are screwed on to get maximum protection from storm conditions.

Mr Ward was very pleased with the finished roof as were we.

Been a busy week and its only Tuesday!

Stripped one side of a roof for Mr Malyn in Buckland Brewer.

Removed the old Somerset clay tiles and after felt and battening put down the new Lagan Double Romans then ridged it off with dry ridge system. This is to the rear of the property which was experiencing a few leaks in places.

The front of the roof will be done at some stage then new lead work will be done to both chimney stacks but existing lead was left until we do the front.

We used our new hoist on this job and it was a great help with less leg work up the ladder, should have bought it ages ago!

A new roof, facias, bargeboards and guttering for Mr Wilson in Northam, Bideford, North Devon.

Roof was completely stripped of the old tiles, felt and batten then recovered with breathable membrane and 50mm x 25mm batten. New brown smooth face Redland Renowns were put on and individual dry verge fitted. A dry ridge system was used to finish off the roof.

New UPVC facias and bargeboards were applied then squareline white guttering and downpipes fixed to complete the job.

Our client in Bratton Fleming wanted a total reroof as his existing Barnstaple interlocking tiles had become quite thin due to the sand faced surface wearing down over the years.

To the rear of the property there is a loft bedroom with bathroom and toilet. It was clad in plain tiles with purpose made angle tiles for the corners.

The whole roof and vertical tiling was stripped along with the Batten’s and old 1f felt. Breathable membrane was applied along with graded 50mm x 25mm roofing Batten’s and eave trays.

The pitched roof was tiled using Redland Renowns, Breckland Brown in colour, with individual dry verge and dry ridge system.

The vertical was tiled with Redland plain tiles and new angle tiles again in Breckland Brown.

Replaced the whole of this roof at West Down and as you can see from the before photos there was a mixture of slates due to lots of repairs and the stacks had copper flashing which I have only seen a couple of times in my 44 years in this trade. New Brazilian slates with hook fix and chimneys with lead flashing give an altogether more appealing look and no more worries for the customer about slates coming down in bad weather.

My thanks to Matt and Ryan of MR scaffolding for doing a great job with the challenge of the full length conservatory on the rear of the property.

Thanks to Mr and Mrs Williams also for keeping us supplied with tea and biscuits!

Below are the "before" pictures, now they can look forward to a dry winter!!

Latest roof completed for our client Roger Clarke of local business SEL Clarke Ltd.

This roof has close on 7000 slates with 6 velux windows and solar panels which are being installed now we have finished. Some testing conditions were experienced on this one as it is in West Down so close to the coast. 

All slates are hook fixed and all perimeters nailed and ridge is dry system.

Valleys formed with code 5 lead and for all the gables we used easyverge which eliminates any wind uplift.

Still got a GRP roof to do on the front entrance which should be completed this week. We have had the Gel top coat specially mixed so the colour will match the facias.

This new Slate Roof job was recently completed in Abbotsham, North Devon. It was a complete strip of the existing roof then recovered with Brazilian Grey Green slates and hook fix.

Terracotta ridge dry fixed really sets the roof off nicely and the Easyverge system gives added protection from the wind as this property is right next to the coast.

You can see from the stunning pictures below.  It got quite windy up on that roof !!
