Council House Roofs After Retiling

Tile Roofing Examples

This set of roofing examples was part of a contract to refurbish 143 council owned residential units - 93 houses and 50 flats near Oldham.

The existing tile roofing materials were no longer dependable and it was deemed necessary to reroof the properties as preventive maintenance for the properties.

Evidence of multiple problems in the roofs showed themselves as:

• shaling of Rosemary clay tiles
• dislodged tiles and ridge tiles
• missing tiles or tiles with broken corners
• discoloured tiles and roofs
• rotted bituminous felt at the eves
• chimneys in need of flashing repairs and new lead aprons
• loose or poorly fixed ridge tiles

Our roofing technicians are expert tilers and have industry certificated qualifications and long experience. K-Roofing is a company that is able to reroof large multi unit complexes and estates with traditional and modern roof tile systems.

Tile Roofing

Retiling the roofs of the terraced and semi-deteched houses required:

• scaffolding for access and safety
• The stripping and disposal of existing roofing materials: tiles, battons and roofing felts
