Upgrade Your Roofline

Upgrade your Roofline with New Soffits, Fascias and Verge Tiles An upgrade to your roofline is a much cheaper option than a whole new roof. It will also help your existing roof last much longer. When it comes to roofing and roofline maintenance, the elements you don’t always see matter just as much as the roof surface. Soffits, fascias and verge tiles play a vital role in keeping your property weather-tight, structurally sound and looking good. Upgrading all three together…

EPDM is a rubber membrane that is watertight and has a long lifespan, which is the reason we use it wherever possible. It is most suitable for flat roofs, although you can also use…

Velux Window Replacement, Oswestry

That is why Oswestry and Wrexham Roofing do this for you. Loft Windows In A Victorian…

Total Reroof Wrexham

Reroof in Wrexham

It was time for a reroof in Wrexham at this property. There was much in need of replacement – soffits, fascias ridge tiles, battons, felt and the lead around the chimney was in poor shape too. But the tiles were in good condition. A few chips on the corners don’t stop the roof being watertight as long as they are in the right place. And no-one wants to throw away a resource which is still useful. What is a reroof?…

Commercial Roof Maintenance Wrexham

Commercial Roof Maintenance Wrexham

We were asked to undertake commercial roof maintenance at a well-known property in Queens Square, Wrexham. The property also fronts onto Queen Street and Argyll Street and was in need of the gutters being completely cleaned out and repairs on the half-roof at the front. This is a high footfall area so care had to be taken when carrying out the work. Therefore, we selected a day and time when the footfall would be lower which included avoiding the busy…

New Lead Flashing

New Chimney Lead Flashing Protects Roof For Longer in Wrexham

Chimney lead flashing is one of the most important seals on your roof if you have a chimney. Because your chimney is part of the structure of your house, which actually comes through the roof at a perpendicular angle, it can be one of the weakest points when it comes to keeping your property wind and watertight. New Lead Flashing Needed in Wrexham We were asked to visit a property in Wrexham which had some water ingress around the chimney.…

Dormer Window Cladding

New Dormer Window Cladding

We were asked to replace the dormer window cladding on a property in Oswestry. A dormer window is pretty much a window structure built onto a roof, meaning the cladding is an integral part of your roof resilience. As such it must have regular maintenance, and if tiles are not part of the side cladding, replacement may be necessary whilst the rest of your roof is still in good working order. You may also need to renew any lead work…

How Are Ridge Tiles Fixed?

How Are Ridge Tiles Fixed?

How are ridge tiles fixed onto your roof. First of all let’s discuss what ridge tiles are. What is a Ridge Tile? A ridge tile is the tile that runs along the top of your roof. The purpose of the ridge tile is to provide a seal between two sides of the roof so that rain runs off them straight onto the tiles below and eventually into the gutter. Do not confuse ridge tiles with hip tiles. Hip tiles are…

Semi-detached new roof

Semi-Detached New Roof

A semi-detached new roof may have a surprising number of challenges. Not least is matching new tiles to the other roof. Why is this important? A semi-detached building is constructed as if it has just one roof. However, ownership of the roof is normally between two parties. This means that whilst one owner may want to upgrade the roof, the other owner may not wish to. When Semi-Detached Properties are Older Problems arise on older properties where you are not…
