Re-roofing in Thornton-Cleveleys

Re-roofing for Thornton-Cleveleys homes

Across Thornton-Cleveleys, 1930s semis, bungalows and detached homes make up much of the town, with some older terraces around Cleveleys centre. The most common coverings here are Welsh slate on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces and concrete interlocking tiles across the 20th-century semis and bungalows, and on the older homes many are still held on by their original nails and battens. Once those reach the end of their life, patching stops working. Across the flat Fylde, Thornton-Cleveleys gets strong onshore winds with little to break them, plus salt air that corrodes fixings and lifts poorly fixed ridge and verge tiles. A full re-roof deals with the cause, not just the symptoms. Some older properties in and around Thornton-Cleveleys are listed or sit within conservation areas, so we always check with Wyre Council before recommending a change of material.

On the Fylde, many re-roofs are on 1930s semis and bungalows whose original concrete tiles have become porous and brittle. New interlocking tiles or natural slate, a breathable membrane and a mechanically fixed dry ridge and verge make a huge difference on this exposed, windy coast.

A full re-roof resets the clock. We put up scaffold, strip the old covering, check and repair the timbers, then lay a new breathable membrane, treated battens and your chosen covering, finishing with new leadwork, valleys and ridge. Where the existing slate is good, we can sort and reuse it, topping up with a matching reclaimed or new slate.
