Roof repairs and re-roofing in Gosford Green, the area around Gosford Park. We find leaks properly rather than guessing, replace cracked and slipped tiles, rebuild and repoint chimneys, renew lead flashings, and fit flat roofs in EPDM and GRP. Inspection first, then a fixed written quote.
Working in Gosford Green
Gosford Green is just east of the city centre, close to Ball Hill and the Far Gosford Street end of town.
This is dense, older inner-city housing, and it shows in the work: shared party walls, terraced access, parking that has to be thought about before a skip or a scaffold arrives. We plan all three before we start rather than on the morning.
Terraced work also brings the Party Wall Act into play more often than people expect. We will tell you when it applies.

Everything your Gosford Green property needs
The roofing work we carry out on Gosford Green properties, from leak tracing and tile repairs to complete re-roofing.
New Roof Installations
New roofs where there was none before, or where an extension needs one. Specified for the pitch and the covering rather than to a standard detail.
Roof Replacements
When a roof is past repairing: off with the old covering and battens, structure inspected, then rebuilt to current standards throughout.
Roof Repairs & Leak Detection
Leak tracing from inside the loft as well as on the roof, because water rarely enters directly above where it shows.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Pitched roof coverings in slate and tile, repaired to match where we can and replaced where the fixings have reached their limit.
Chimney Repairs & Leadwork
Repointing, flaunching, rebuilding and the lead flashings and soakers that keep water out where the stack meets the roof.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Roofline and rainwater goods, renewed together with roof work so the scaffold is paid for once rather than twice.

What we check on a property in Gosford Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on roofing work in Gosford Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Ridge and hip mortar
We check every ridge and hip for cracked, missing or drummy mortar. It is the most common failure on an otherwise sound roof and the one most likely to become dangerous in a gale.
Verges and bargeboards
The gable edge takes the wind first. Loose verge mortar, exposed batten ends and soft bargeboards all let weather in at the very point where it is being driven hardest.
Moss and organic growth
We note how much there is and where. Heavy moss means water is being held against the tiles and gutters are probably taking the debris, and it also tends to mark the shaded, slowest-drying part of the roof.
Valleys
Valleys carry more water than any other part of the roof. We check for debris, splits in the lead, failed mortar on the tile edges and anything restricting the flow, because a blocked valley backs water up under the tiles.
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles
We count them and note where they sit. A few in one spot is damage; a scatter across the whole roof points at nail fatigue or batten rot, which changes the recommendation completely.
Lead quality and code
Lead that is too thin for its span splits from thermal movement, and over-long pieces do the same. We check the code and the lengths used, because an undersized flashing fails again whatever else is done.

Have you worked around Gosford Park?
Gosford Park is in the part of Gosford Green we cover, and roofing work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
The damp patch is in one place — is the hole directly above it?
Usually not. Water comes in at a defect then runs along the top of a batten, down a rafter or across the underlay until it finds somewhere to drop. The stain on the ceiling can be several metres from the entry point. This is why we look at the roof and the loft rather than working from the position of the stain, which is the single most common cause of a repair that does not fix anything.
EPDM, GRP or felt — which flat roof is best?
EPDM is a single rubber membrane with very few joints, flexible in cold weather and typically good for 25 to 30 years or more. GRP is a fibreglass laminate cured in place, giving a hard seamless finish with neat detailing, on a similar lifespan, though it is less forgiving of movement. Felt is the cheapest and the shortest-lived. The deck condition and how much movement it sees usually decide it.
Why is my loft damp when the roof is not leaking?
Usually condensation rather than a leak. Warm moist air from the house rises into a cold loft, meets cold surfaces and condenses, often worst on the underside of the underlay. The fix is ventilation and sealing the gaps letting air up there, not more roofing. Telling the two apart matters: condensation is widespread and seasonal, a leak is localised and follows rain.
Why is my roof leaking when it only rains hard?
Wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain does not. It is pushed up under tile laps, past a loose verge, through a gap in flashing, or in at a ridge whose mortar has gone. In light rain the water runs straight off; in a storm it is driven sideways into the same small defect. That is why a leak that only appears in bad weather is still a real defect worth fixing.
What is roof flashing and why does it fail?
Flashing is the weatherproofing where the roof meets something else: a chimney, a wall, a valley, a soil pipe. It is usually lead, dressed and tucked into a mortar joint. It fails when the mortar holding it goes, when the lead splits from decades of thermal movement, or when someone has sealed over it with mastic instead of replacing it. Flashings are behind a large share of the leaks we trace.
