Do you actually cover Reading?

Yes, for booked repairs and larger jobs across RG1, RG2, RG4, RG6 and RG30. For a middle-of-the-night emergency you will be told honestly if someone closer can reach you faster.

Can you repair a valley gutter between two terraced houses?

Yes. Shared valleys are cleared, checked for splits and re-lined where needed, which is one of the most common causes of leaks in Reading terraces.

Do you work on shared chimney stacks?

Yes. Repointing, flaunching and lead work on party-wall stacks is regular work — it is best done to the whole stack at once.

Is parking or access a problem on terraced streets?

It is planned in advance. Access, waste removal and where the van goes are agreed with you before the day of the work.

Do you charge to quote in Reading?

No. Inspections and written quotes are free, and the price is fixed before work starts.

Local roofing problems

Common roofing problems we repair in Reading

The faults below come up again and again on Reading roofs. Knowing the housing stock means the cause gets found faster and the repair actually lasts.

Valley gutters between terraces

Shared valleys behind a parapet block with grit and moss, back up and flood into the roof space. Clearing and re-lining is the usual fix.

Shared chimney stacks

Stacks sitting on a party wall leak into both houses. Repointing, new flaunching and proper lead trays sort the whole stack rather than one side of it.

Slipped slates on Victorian terraces

Nail fatigue is the standard failure on Reading slate roofs. Slates are re-fixed individually rather than the slope being stripped.

Parapet and coping leaks

Cracked coping stones and failed lead trays let water into the top of a wall, which then shows up as damp inside an upstairs room.

Flat roofs over rear additions

Reading terraces almost all have a rear back-addition roof. Old felt gets re-covered in GRP with proper upstands and outlets.

Restricted access and parking

Terraced streets need planning around access. Ladder and tower access, waste removal and parking are sorted before the day rather than on it.
