Roof Repairs
Not every roof in Gibraltar needs replacing. Coastal wind and salt air put extra strain on fixings, so a slipped tile or failed flashing is a common repair here. C R Smith & Son tracks down the actual cause of the problem and puts it right, with every repair starting from a free, no-obligation written quote.
C R Smith & Son covers Gibraltar (PE24) and the surrounding villages, including Orby, Welton le Marsh, Gunby, Bratoft and Thorpe St Peter.

What's included
Systems we fit
A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Gibraltar:
Out on the marsh at Gibraltar a roof faces the sea, the Wash and open fields, so wind can lift tiles on any slope, not just the seaward one. We replace damaged tiles to match and check the fixings across the slope, not just the gap.
Rain blown in across open saltmarsh can get under verges and around chimneys on isolated houses, then run along the felt before it shows inside. We follow it back to where it actually gets in before repairing anything.
Older farmhouses and cottages near Gibraltar often have lead or mortar fillets that the salt air has cracked and loosened. We renew the flashings and soakers around chimneys and walls so the joint stays weathertight.
With no other buildings around, the ridge on a lone Gibraltar house takes the full force of every gale. We re-bed loose ridge and hip tiles, or fit a dry ridge system where mortar keeps failing.
Damp sea air and nearby scrub and hedging mean moss, lichen and wind-blown seed build up in valleys and gutters. We clear them during the repair visit so water can run freely off the roof.

How it works
On an isolated Gibraltar roof, one loose tile can point to fixings failing across a whole slope, so we approach repairs like this:
Inspect
We look at the problem area and then the ridge, verges and fixings on every slope, since an exposed house takes weather from all sides.
Quote
You get a written, no-obligation quote with photos, so you can see the problem even if you weren't there for the visit.
Repair
We fit matching tiles or slates with fixings suited to salt air, re-securing anything nearby that has started to work loose.
Check
We confirm the roof is watertight, clear any sand and debris from gutters and valleys, and take every offcut away.
