Roof Repairs in Ambleside

Roof Repairs for Ambleside homes

In Ambleside, stone and slate houses, cottages and guest houses are packed around the town centre, with Victorian villas on the hillsides. Roofs here are mostly Westmorland green, Burlington and Welsh slate on the older properties, with concrete tiles on newer homes, and the most common call-outs are for slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and tired flashings. Ambleside catches the weather rolling in off the Lakeland fells and Morecambe Bay, so heavy rain and strong winds find any weak point in a slate roof quickly. Most of those faults can be put right with a well-made repair, as long as it is done with matching materials and proper fixings rather than a tube of sealant.

Around Kendal and the South Lakes, most repairs are on traditional slate roofs, where a single slipped slate or tired flashing can let in a lot of water during a Lakeland downpour. We carry matching slate so repairs do not stand out.

Every repair starts with photographs, so you can see exactly what we have found before any work starts. If a repair is the right answer, we will say so. If the roof is past the point where repairs make sense, we will tell you that honestly too.
