Replacement flat roof to Garage

Replacement flat roof to Garage

The roof on this garage had all but caved in meaning the joists had been open to the elements for some time so we had to replace some joists and strengthen and treat the others.

We then re-boarded the roof and applied new upvc fascias and gutters it was then felted with SBS Torch on with top layer and edge detail done in green mineral felt.

 

 

 

we also removed a old broken window and bricked up the opening

 

 

 

We received a great review for this job (Posted on our freeindex page)

Dave replaced our flat garage roof; he gave us a very fair price for the work and has done a really great job. Both guys worked solidly on the job, cleared up as they went and even did a couple of other jobs for us. The work has been guaranteed for 20 years and the garage looks amazing - really great job and nice guys too who were prepared to go the extra mile, would definitely use D&C again and would recommend to anyone.

Dave and Colin from Dave Pearce Roofing Specialist are two of the nicest guys you can have working on your property. Its nice to know that in a town like Blackpool which is full of cowboy builders and roofers (you know who you are) that you can still find 'proper' tradesmen. Everything from the quality of the materials, to the skill in doing the job, and keeping the job clean and finally what matters to a lot of people; the price, I would challenge anybody to find better. I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys to anyone that values a first rate job with old fashioned values of workmanship, quality and customer service. By the way I didn't just have a couple of tiles replaced. Dave and Colin fully renovated my garage roof and sorted out my kitchen extension roof which a previous; inferior roofing contractor had made a complete hash of. All I can say guys is keep up the good work and thanks.

Mr and Mrs Stewart.We striped and re-tiled the garage roof applying new fascia's guttering and dry verge

 

We also put right somebody effort at dry verge on the kitchen extension

Repairing other people’s bodged roof jobs again

Repairing other people’s bodged roof jobs again

This is a job we did last week the home owner had an ongoing roof problem for some time they had one roofer (sorry person I won’t call him a roofer) in who basically made the problem worse by covering everything with cromapol whether he set out to con the home owner or just had a lack of knowledge about roofing and how a roof works I don’t know but he shouldn’t be let loose on anybody’s roof. And to rub salt into the owners wounds they had a roofer come and charge them £70 for a temporary repair I don’t know what he did but he gave a new meaning to temporary repair it only lasted till it rained...

We had no option other than strip it all out and see what the cromapol was hiding.

The overhang of the tiles on the pyramid had been cemented up so it was flush presumably so it could be painted over. And the tiles had been painted on this was never going to work because of the way small tiles are cross bonded and it would never adhere to clay tile.     

The paint just peeled of the tiles to revel wet mortar and water underneath the paint.
 

  

We striped out all the bottom tiles and cleared away all the wet mortar to reveal splits in the lead. Whether this was the original leek or it had been coursed by the cement not allowing the lead to expand and contract with temperature change. Either way it was made worse by the water getting under the paint and not been able to flow away.

   

When we had striped the now ineffective lead out we had to repair and strengthen the damaged decking boards

  

We also found signs of water penetration to the left side of the valley which I think was the original problem with the pyramid being so steep water would find its way under the left side of the valley in heavy rain to combat this someone in the past had cemented the valley to stop water going under the tiles which is not really suitable for small tile roofs as the mortar soaks in the moister but is the lesser of two evils.. Ideally the should be wider lead in the valley with a decent welt on it to stop the water.  

This one got me how anybody could go on the roof and not see this I don’t know o.k. the tiles could of slipped anytime but the was lead soakers missing from all the hips and no were to be seen on the roof



 

Any way we felted the land valley and correctly re-tiled and leaded the hips. We made good the lead to the left hand side pyramid valley re-felted & battened and tiled back in

I had an email of the owner saying   so far so dry and thanks for the good job so hopefully we managed to stop all the leaks

New flat roof to old concrete sectional garage in Blackpool

The following photos are of a garage roof we recently framed boarded and felted

At D&C Roofing we see this option for replacing old corrugated sheets far more effective than flimsy metal sheets

Before

Old roof covering (fibre cement roof sheets)

 
 
 

Wall plate applied joists set and boarded

Joists over hang on two sides by 30mm to allow air flow to garage to combat condensation

First layer of high performance felt applied and backing boards for new upvc fascia's

 

New upvc fascia's and guttering applied

Top layer of mineral high performance felt completed

High performance polyester felt system comes with a 20 year guaranty and a life expectancy of double that so this option gives you a sturdy roof designed to last with the joist being strong enough to hang shelving and racking from giving you more storage room..
