Roof Repairs and Roofing in Liverpool
Slipped slates, failing flashings and leaks that keep coming back. futurewolverton inspects the whole roof, explains what is failing, and repairs it properly the first time.
Finding the leak before we fix the roof
Water rarely enters where the stain appears. It usually travels along a rafter or down a party wall before showing on a ceiling. A careful inspection starts in the loft, checks the underlay and works outward to the tiles, valleys, lead work and chimney.
Our roof repair work in Liverpool begins with that diagnosis, so we replace what has actually failed rather than patching the nearest slate and hoping for the best.
Repairs that match the existing roof
Liverpool roofs carry a mix of natural slate, clay tile and concrete tile, often on terraces that have been altered over many decades. We source replacements that match the profile, colour and fixing method, so the repair does not stand out or introduce new weak points.
Where a roof is beyond repair, we say so and set out the options for a full recovering.
Typical work we carry out
- Replacing cracked or slipped slates and tiles, with new nails and clips
- Renewing lead flashings around chimneys, dormers and abutments
- Repointing ridges and verges where mortar has lost its bond
- Clearing gutters and fixing the faults that cause overflow onto walls
