Description

This job was for a returning customer in Cherry Hinton who we’ve worked with for more than 10 years. The roof had tiles lifting on the gable end and water coming in around the front of the chimney stack.

We put up scaffolding on the gable end, removed the old under cloaking, mortar and verge tiles, then fitted new under cloaking and replaced any damaged tiles. The verge was finished with fresh mortar for a neat, secure result.

We also renewed the felt and battens at the base of the chimney stack to stop water getting in.

The work took two days to complete.
