Hessle, East Yorkshire
When the covering, the battens or the timbers have had their time, we strip the roof and build it back up. Slate, tile or pantile, on houses across Hessle, Hull, Beverley and the villages.
In plain terms
A new roof means the old covering comes off and the slope is built back up: underlay, battens, then slate, clay pantile or concrete tile. If the rafters have sagged or the ridge has spread, that timber is dealt with before the new covering goes on. Another layer of tiles over a tired roof does not repair the wood underneath.
On this side of the Humber the usual pitched roof is clay pantile or concrete tile. Older terraces are often slate. The covering has to suit the pitch and sit comfortably in the street. Chimneys and walls are flashed in lead, not pointed over and left.
We do this from Hessle, across Hull, Beverley, Anlaby and Anlaby Common, Willerby, Woodmansey and the villages in between. Call 01482 627895 or use the form further down. We look at the roof before we price it. A written quote is available if you want one, and the work we agree is guaranteed for at least 12 months, and often for longer depending on the job.

The job
On the board
Welsh or Spanish slate, clay pantiles, and concrete interlocking tiles. We use whichever suits the house, the pitch and the street.
Before you call
Straight answers about new roofs for houses in Hessle, Hull, Beverley and the villages around them.
Not always a whole roof. If one slope is sound, we say so. If the battens and underlay have perished, or courses have slipped across a slope, a few replacement tiles will not last. We look at the roof and tell you which job it is.
A typical house is often a few days of dry weather once the scaffold is up. We tell you the likely run after we have seen the roof, the access and the weather. We do not open a roof and then guess how long it will take.
Clay pantiles and concrete tiles are the common coverings around Hessle, Hull and Beverley. Older terraces in Hull are often slate. We use the covering the pitch and the street were built for, so the roof does not look like a different house from the pavement.
We plan the strip so the house is not left open longer than the job needs. Once we have seen the roof we tell you how each day will be closed up. Scaffold and a tidy site are part of the job, and the gutters are left running.
