We are proud to present another recently finished roofing project in Rochester, Kent. This undertaking involved the complete installation of a brand-new roofing system, featuring modern tiles, expertly fitted lead work, and a robust dry ridge system, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Key Works Performed:
Full Roof System Replacement:
Complete removal of all existing roof coverings, battens, and underlayment to expose the underlying roof structure. Thorough inspection and preparation of the roof deck to ensure a sound foundation for the new system.
Installation of New High-Performance Underlayment:
Laying of a high-quality, breathable roofing membrane across the entire roof area. This underlayment provides an essential secondary layer of weather protection and contributes to improved thermal efficiency.
New Battening System:
Installation of precisely measured and treated timber battens, providing a uniform and secure base for the new roof tiles. This ensures optimal support, correct tile alignment, and crucial ventilation.
New Tile Installation:
Expert laying of brand-new roof tiles, chosen for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-term performance. The new tiles were meticulously installed to create a consistent and weather-tight roof covering.
Specialist Leadwork:
Precision installation of new lead flashings around all penetrations (such as chimneys) and valleys. Our skilled leadwork ensures superior waterproofing and adds a traditional, long-lasting protective element to vulnerable areas of the roof.
Dry Ridge System Integration:
Integration of a contemporary dry ridge system for the roof's apex. This advanced system secures ridge tiles mechanically, offering:
Exceptional Weather Resistance: Eliminates the need for mortar, preventing cracks and deterioration over time.
Optimal Roof Ventilation: Promotes continuous airflow, reducing condensation build-up in the loft space.
Reduced Maintenance: A mortar-free design significantly lowers ongoing maintenance requirements.
Enhanced Security: Provides a strong, durable fixing for the ridge tiles.
Outcome:
This project in Rochester showcases a complete roof transformation, resulting in a fully integrated and high-performance roofing system. The combination of new tiles, meticulous leadwork, and a state-of-the-art dry ridge system delivers an incredibly durable, weather-tight, and visually appealing roof that will protect the property for many years to come. This successful installation underlines our expertise in delivering comprehensive and reliable roofing solutions.
