A roofer in Yarm for slate and property additions

Roofing services

Make the new roof belong with the property

Slate, porch and extension roofs all place appearance close to the top of the decision list, but the structure still sets the rules. We undertake these roofing projects in Yarm. Slate needs a suitable pitch, fixing layout and supporting structure. A porch roof must balance with the entrance, while an extension roof needs to join the existing walls or roof securely. We consider material, proportion and drainage together so the addition looks connected without compromising its weatherproof details.

Wall junctions completed for real weather

Where a porch or extension meets the original property, flashings and abutments stop water running behind the new covering. Valleys and outlets may also sit close to that connection, making early setting-out important. For work in Yarm, we can discuss pitched tile or slate and suitable flat membrane systems according to the roof form. The slate, porch and extension pages provide more detail, while photographs of the proposed connection help us understand what the neat finished line must also keep dry.
