Roof Repairs in Hornby

Roof Repairs for Hornby homes

In Hornby, stone houses and cottages line the main street, with a few later homes on the edges of the village. Roofs here are mostly stone slate and blue-grey slate on the older buildings and concrete tiles on the later homes, and the most common call-outs are for slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and tired flashings. Hornby sits among the fells of the Lune Valley and the western Dales, where heavy rainfall and cold, damp winters mean valleys, gutters and flashings have to cope with a lot of water. 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.

In the Lune Valley and the Dales, heavy rain and hard frosts are the main enemies. Frost-damaged slates, blocked valleys and overflowing gutters under big stone roofs are the most common repairs, and matching the local stone or slate is key.

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.
