The roofs in Hexham
For a workplace on low ground, roof drainage and wet-site access need separate consideration.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Hexham should identify the building and include any relevant information about access after rain or metal fixings.
What we look at first in Hexham
Rain can affect the approach to a repair as well as the roof itself.
Metal fixings
Check local corrosion around connections alongside the sheet surface.
Internal outlets
Blockage and inadequate overflow arrangements need distinguishing.
Access after rain
Current ground conditions may affect equipment positions.
Council and approvals in Hexham
Before finalising work involving metal fixings and internal outlets, confirm the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes and the approved building use and relevant construction requirements for the property with City of Newcastle or the appropriate authority.

What we do in Hexham
Pressure clean, re-bed and re-point the ridge capping, replace broken tiles, then a coating system. Typically buys another 10 to 15 years out of a sound tile roof.

Learn moreWhen the battens or sarking have gone, a coating will not save it. We strip the old roof and re-sheet, usually to Colorbond steel.
