Slipped Roof Tiles Reinstated on a Property in Chesterton

Date: 16th October 2020
Location: Chesterton, Cambridge
Problem: Tiles slipping off gable end.
Solution: New under cloak and tiles reinstated.

Description

The homeowner called Browns Roofing because he had noticed tiles slipping off his roof.

Upon inspection, we discovered that tiles were slipping on both sides of the gable end. So, we erected scaffolding and then fitted new undercloak (undercloak is a strong tile cement strip that is fixed at the roof verge, beneath the battens).

Next, we reinstated the tiles and sealed the verge with new mortar.

The work took 2 days.
