Our Most Common Roofing Services for Eastriggs Properties Include:

Roof Repointing

The pointing work on roofs are traditionally a mortar mix. Given the high winds, storms and low winter temperatures in Eastriggs, the mortar mixes can crack. When they do, just the slightest of water ingress can freeze, then thaw, causing the crack the widen.

In cases of water leaks from damaged roofs, it’s often a slight crack in the mortar that expands in the winter months, exasperating the problem right when the worst of the weather is hitting.

Early indications of damaged mortar on your roof can be noticed in the attic/loft by inspecting the woodwork for slight wet areas. The amount of water ingress may be low enough that it only moistens the wood in your attic, rather than resulting in a constant drip. The drips are usually when there’s a wider crack and the repair can’t be left any longer.

It is advisable to inspect the roof from the inside on an annual basis to pinpoint any excess moisture that could be caused by roof damage. A missing slate or tile can be the culprit; however, this is easily spotted on the exterior. As the pointing is the mortar holding the roof ridges together, the cracks on this part of the roof aren’t noticeable from ground level. The inside of the property is where you’ll see early signs of failing mortar on your roof.

Repointing work is best done in preparation for the lower temperatures in winter to prevent a leaking roof. Should you find your property effected by water ingress, we can provide a roof survey in Eastriggs, identify the problem and let you know if your roof needs repointed or if there’s a smaller effective repair that would restore the integrity of your roof.

Eastriggs Roof Repairs and General Maintenance

Some types of roof repairs fall into the maintenance category as every roof will suffer from wear and tear. Pointing mortar tends to last for ten years, whereas tiles and slates can last for decades. Loose tiles are a common problem after storms though, as are sealing cracks in the pointing work.

More serious repair work such as roof replacements and roof restoration services can be prevented by taking care of the minor repairs as early as possible.

At Sterling Roofing Services Services, our team are experienced in all manner of roof repairs from replacing loose tiles, re-pointing, repairing flat roofs and replacing the soffit boards and UPVC fascia replacements right through to replacing damaged guttering.

Whatever type of roof repair you need, you can rest-assured of a quality finish that’s guaranteed to be long-lasting.

Eastriggs Chimney Inspections and Repairs

An often-neglected part of roof care is retired chimneys. Even disused chimneys need regular inspections because if the ventilation fails, moisture levels increase and that leads to spalling, which is the term used to describe the expansion and contraction of brickwork caused by the freeze-thaw cycle. Cracks in brickwork on chimneys can let some water into the cracks which then freeze, causing the crack to widen. Without repairing the brickwork, the flashing or the pointing around the chimney, it can start leaning which puts it at a higher risk of collapse.

Regular inspection of retired chimneys also ensures the capping remains in good condition. Caps need to be on chimneys to prevent rainwater and snow from entering. On chimneys, the cap prevents wildlife from nesting too and divert rainwater towards the roof, which then runs down to the guttering, eventually draining through the downpipe.

A damaged chimney stack, whether it’s the brickwork structure or restricted airflow, can cause interior damage to the property through higher moisture in the masonry, leading to problems with damp.

A large number of homes in Eastriggs have disused chimneys that will need maintained.

If your home has a chimney and you notice an increase in moisture levels within your property, we can provide a roof inspection to check the ventilation and structural integrity of your chimney and carry out any essential repairs required to prevent further damage to the exterior and/or interior of your property.
