Roof Repairs
Not every roof in Gainsborough needs replacing. Whether it's a slipped tile near the River Trent or a felt repair on a newer estate, C R Smith & Son tracks down the actual cause of the problem and puts it right, rather than patching the nearest visible spot.

What's included
Systems we fit
A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Gainsborough:
Gainsborough's Victorian terraces are mostly Welsh slate, while the post-war and newer estates are concrete tile. We replace slipped and broken slates or tiles with matching ones, reclaimed where needed, so the repair blends in with the row.
On older properties near the river, a leak is often a failed flashing or a perished valley rather than the slates themselves. We trace the water back to where it actually gets in before deciding on the repair.
Tall chimney stacks on Gainsborough's terraces need sound lead around them, and old flashings crack and lift over the years. We renew lead flashings and soakers so water runs past the stack, not into the house.
Ridge tiles on Victorian roofs are often bedded in old lime mortar that has long since crumbled. We rake out the old bedding, then re-bed and re-point the ridges so the top of the roof is sealed again.
Slate roofs on the shaded side of a terrace collect moss that blocks gutters and the valleys between houses. We clear it as part of the repair and leave the valleys running clear.
