Common Roofing Work in Fulwell

The majority of Fulwell's housing stock was built between the 1930s and 1970s. Properties from this era typically feature concrete interlocking tiles or earlier clay plain tiles on pitched roofs. Many of these homes are now reaching an age where full re-roofing is becoming necessary — the original roofing felt has perished, battens have rotted in places, and tiles have become porous and fragile.

For homeowners not yet ready for a full replacement, we carry out targeted repairs including individual tile replacement, ridge tile repointing, valley repair, and new lead flashing around chimneys and abutments. A good repair carried out promptly can extend the life of a roof significantly and delay the need for full replacement.

Flat Roofs on Garages & Extensions in Fulwell

Many Fulwell homes have integral or detached garages with flat roofs, and a significant number also have rear kitchen or bathroom extensions with flat roofs. Older felt flat roofs deteriorate over time — blistering, cracking and eventually leaking. We carry out both repairs to existing flat roofs and full replacements using modern EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems.

EPDM and GRP are vastly superior to traditional felt. They're seamless, far more durable, and carry manufacturer guarantees of 20–25 years. If your Fulwell flat roof is showing signs of age, it's worth considering an upgrade now before leaks cause damage to the structure below.
