Victorian Home Complete Re-Roof

Leigh On Sea, Essex2 weeks

The Challenge

A beautiful Victorian property in the heart of Leigh On Sea was suffering from extensive roof damage after decades of wear. The original slate tiles were cracked and deteriorating, causing water ingress into the loft space and damaging the period features below.

Our Solution

Our team carefully removed the existing damaged slates, preserving any that could be reused to maintain the home's authentic character. We installed new breathable roofing membrane, replaced all damaged battens, and fitted a combination of reclaimed and new Welsh slate tiles to match the original aesthetic. We also upgraded the lead flashing around chimneys and installed new cast iron guttering.

Key Results

  • Complete elimination of water ingress
  • 25-year guarantee on all workmanship
  • Preserved the property's Victorian character
  • Improved energy efficiency by 15%

Commercial Flat Roof Installation

Southend-on-Sea, Essex3 weeks

The Challenge

A local retail complex required a complete flat roof replacement across 1,500 square metres. The existing felt roof had failed in multiple areas, causing significant water damage to the units below. The work needed to be completed with minimal disruption to the operating businesses.

Our Solution

We implemented a phased approach, working section by section to ensure businesses could continue operating throughout the project. We removed the old felt system and installed a high-performance EPDM rubber membrane with a 30-year lifespan. New insulation was added to meet current building regulations, and we installed a comprehensive drainage system to prevent future water pooling.

Key Results

  • Zero business downtime during installation
  • 30-year membrane warranty
  • 40% improvement in thermal efficiency
  • Reduced annual maintenance costs by 60%
