Repair and Replacement of Tiled Roofs
Common causes of leaks in tiled roofs are slipped, disjointed or cracked roof tiles. Slipped or disjointed tiles can usually be seen from the ground, as they are not in line with the rest of the roof tiles. Also, if the slippage is recent, you will be able to notice a difference in colour along the tile where the unweathered section is newly exposed.
Cracked roofing tiles are best identified by a closer inspection either at roof level, or if your roof is unlined, looking for areas of light coming into the loft or roof space through the cracked tile. Give us a call and we will be happy to arrange an inspection.

Repair and Replacement of Slate Roofs
Roof Slates can become disjointed over time when the nails holding them in place become loose or corroded, causing them to slip and allow water to enter your roof. Slate roofs also deteriorate with age, which can be identified by the slates having a flaky or powdery appearance (known as delamination).
Cracked tiles can usually be spotted quite easily, as they become water stained along the line of the crack. Water can also get into a slate roof through old and missing mortar around the ridge tiles.

Replacing and Re-bedding Ridge and Hip Tiles
Ridge tiles come loose over time as the mortar they are bedded on breaks down with age. This is a common problem in older buildings, where lime mortar was used during construction. In severe cases, you will be able to see the gaps from ground level, and there may be pieces of mortar on the ground where they have fallen from the roof.

Chimney and Gas Cowl Repairs
The first signs of problems with your chimney you may notice are usually damp patches appearing on your internal walls around the chimney breast following a heavy downpour of rain. Dampness here is usually caused by a problem with the flashing around the chimney stack. Our range of chimney repairs offered includes replacing the flashing, repointing mortar joints in the stack, securing or replacing loose chimney pots and gas cowls, and sealing chimneys and flues which are no longer in use.

Lead Work and Flashing
Traditionally, the junction between tiles and brick has been sealed with lead flashing, whilst valleys between roofs have been sealed with the use of a lead ‘soaker’. We use both lead flashing and modern alternatives, in keeping with your property or specific requirements of the project. Many period properties and ecclesiastical buildings also have flat lead roofs. Our skilled craftsmen can repair or replace these too.

Fascias, Soffits & Gutters (Roofline)
The roofline is often ignored when it comes to regular maintenance, but water can get in through rotten fascias and soffits, potentially damaging the roof timbers. Trelfa Roofing can repair or replace your soffits, fascias and bargeboards, either with traditional timber or modern uPVC in a choice of colours. Eaves felt and rotten rafter ends are repaired as a matter of course during these works. Leaking and poorly installed gutters can also be replaced, again either using traditional materials in keeping with the period of your property, or with modern alternatives.
