Emergency roof repairs on Newmarket property
Victorian slate and clay tile in the town, and stable, barn and yard roofs on the studs around it. Older, taller and more exposed roofs are the ones that lose tiles first when the wind gets up.
Emergency roof repairs on Newmarket roofs
In town it is mostly slate, and slate work is unforgiving. If the nails have corroded then patching one slipped slate just moves the problem along the course, so we will tell you honestly when a slope needs stripping and re-hanging rather than patching. Out on the yards it is usually roof sheeting, gutter lines and getting the work done without disrupting the string.
Not everything that feels like an emergency is one, and we would rather tell you that on the phone than charge you to find out. A slipped tile with no water coming in can wait for a proper survey in daylight. Water actively coming through a ceiling cannot. Ring and describe it, and we will tell you honestly which one you have.
It matters here because the heath is open and the wind funnels along it, so slate slipping and ridge movement are the usual outcome., and that is the weather that takes ridge tiles and lead off in one go rather than gradually.
