Get My Free Quote07446 971431 Free Epping inspections · Fixed written prices, never a day rate · £1m public liability insured Covering Epping ## Epping Roofs AreOlder, Wider andMore Exposed Epping and its surrounding villages hold a much older housing stock than the suburbs to the south. Period cottages and clay-tiled village property sit alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses along the High Street, interwar and post-war housing on the estates, and farm buildings and outbuildings out towards North Weald and Thornwood. Older roofs mean older methods. Peg tiles, hand-made clay, natural slate and lime-bedded ridges all behave differently to modern interlocking tiles, and they are unforgiving of a repair done with the wrong material. Cement mortar on a roof designed around lime, or a modern sealant across a lead detail, tends to make the next failure worse rather than better. Exposure is the second factor. Roofs on the higher, more open ground around Epping take the full force of winter wind, which finds any tile that is no longer properly fixed. Closer to the forest the opposite problem applies: shade, damp and constant leaf fall into valleys and gutters. We cover Epping, Theydon Bois, Coopersale, North Weald, Thornwood, Epping Green and the surrounding CM16 roads. Small, dedicated team, 22+ years of hands-on roofing, £1m public liability cover, and a fixed written price after a free inspection. Epping is within our normal working area from Chelmsford. Active leaks are usually seen the same day or the next working day, with free inspections for planned work within a few days. ### What Epping calls us about most - Wind-lifted and slipped tiles on exposed slopes - Original valley lead split along its folds - Cracked flaunching and failed flashings on tall stacks - Valleys and gutters blocked by leaf fall - Moss on damp, shaded slopes near the forest - Flat roofs on garages, outbuildings and extensionsBook a free inspection ### The properties we work on in Epping Period and village propertyClay peg tiles, hand-made tiles and natural slate on older Epping buildings, where materials and methods have to match what is already there.

Local roofing problems ## What Goes Wrongon Epping Roofs Epping's faults come from age, exposure and previous repairs, often in that order. A good many of the leaks we find were created by the last person who tried to fix one. ### Wind damage on exposed slopes On the higher, open ground around Epping and North Weald, winter gales find every tile that is no longer properly fixed. A single lifted tile lets wind under the course above it, and by morning a small area of movement can be an open slope. Fixing specification matters here: perimeter and every-course fixing decided by exposure rather than habit, and mechanically fixed ridges and verges instead of mortar alone. That is what stops the same slope failing every winter. ### Old lead at valleys and stacks Original lead on Victorian and period Epping roofs is often thin for the length of run it covers, and it splits along the fold where it has expanded and contracted for a century. Once split, it is usually patched with sealant or a bitumen tape, which lasts a season or two and hides the fault. Reforming the detail in correct-code lead, sized for the run, is the repair that lasts, and we price it that way. ### Cement repairs on lime-built roofs Period property does not respond well to hard cement mortar. It is more rigid than the structure around it, so it cracks, then holds water in the crack against the tile or the brickwork behind it. We see it most on ridges, verges and chimney flaunching. Removing the failed cement and rebedding correctly costs more than smearing more over the top, and it is the only version of the job that stops the damage progressing. ### Leaf fall, damp and moss near the forest Epping's tree cover fills valleys and gutters every autumn and keeps shaded slopes damp for months. Moss establishes thickly and holds water against the tile face through every frost. The result is porous, spalling tiles and blocked rainwater goods that overflow onto the walls below. Clearing the roof and gutters together, then inspecting the covering while it is clean, is how we catch that before it becomes a re-roof.
