Roof Replacementin Kendal & the Lake District.

Most homeowners in Kendal & the Lake District only replace a roof once, so it pays to know what a proper job involves before you compare quotes. A full replacement means stripping the old covering right back to the rafters. That lets us check every timber, replace anything rotten or weakened, and fit a new breathable membrane and new treated battens before the slates or tiles go back on. Quotes that skip the strip and simply overlay or patch can look cheaper, but they hide problems that shorten the life of the new roof.

Every full roof replacement we carry out in Kendal & the Lake District is overseen by building control. That gives you an independent check on the standard of work, and the paperwork you'll want when you come to sell. It also carries a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the guarantee stands even if anything were to happen to the business.

The details are where roofs in Cumbria tend to fail: ridges, verges, valleys, chimney flashings and the junctions with neighbouring roofs. We spend time on these because the weather here finds every weak spot. Where it suits the property, we can fit mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that don't rely on mortar, and we renew lead where it meets chimneys and walls rather than patching it with sealant.

We keep you updated as the work happens. Payments are made in stages as the work progresses, never everything up front. If you're also thinking about solar panels, fitting them while the scaffolding is up in Kendal & the Lake District saves you paying for access twice.
