What's included
Systems we fit
A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Horncastle:
Horncastle's older buildings are often roofed in clay pantiles or Welsh slate, with concrete tiles on later homes. We replace damaged ones with the closest match we can source, including reclaimed tiles, so repairs suit the building.
Older roofs in Horncastle have often been altered and patched over the years, which can leave hidden gaps where water gets in. We trace a leak to its real source before carrying out any repair.
Where a roof meets a gable, a neighbouring building or a chimney, old mortar fillets and tired lead often fail. We replace them with new lead flashings and soakers that keep the joint weathertight.
Ridge tiles on older Horncastle roofs are often bedded in mortar that has crumbled over many decades. We remove the old bedding, then re-bed and re-point them so the ridge stays firm.
With trees along the rivers and in gardens around town, moss and leaves soon build up in valleys and gutters. We clear them as part of the repair so water drains away freely.
