Roof Repairs in Cartmel

Roof Repairs for Cartmel homes

In Cartmel, old stone cottages and houses crowd around the Priory and the square, with a few later homes on the edges. Roofs here are mostly Burlington and Westmorland slate on the older buildings, and the most common call-outs are for slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and tired flashings. Out on the Furness and Cartmel peninsulas, Cartmel is exposed to weather coming straight in off the Irish Sea, with salt air and driving rain that are hard on ridges, verges and leadwork. 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.

Across Furness and Cartmel, wind is the big one: storm-lifted ridge tiles, stripped verges and loose slates after a westerly gale. We make safe quickly and then carry out a permanent, properly fixed repair.

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.
