Southampton has conservation areas threaded through its Victorian and Edwardian streets, so on period terraces we match slates, tiles and ridge details to the original roof rather than leaving an odd slope out.
A new roof is the biggest single upgrade you can give a house, and it is only ever as good as what goes on underneath the covering.
Roofs on this coast take a hammering.
A slipped tile or a small leak is a cheap fix today and an expensive one next winter.
The roofline does two jobs: it keeps water away from the roof timbers and the walls, and it frames how the whole house looks from the street.
The chimney is the most exposed brickwork on the house, and on this coast it takes salt air and driving rain from every direction.
Lead does the hardest job on a roof: sealing every junction where water concentrates.
Moss is more than a cosmetic problem.
Nothing changes a loft, landing or extension like proper daylight from above.
Most roof problems are cheap to fix when they are found early and expensive when they are found by a damp patch on the ceiling.
Everything on the list: new roofs, re-roofs, repairs, fascias, soffits and guttering, chimney capping and pointing, leadwork, moss scraping, Velux installation and free roof inspections.
