Comprehensive Roof Replacement in Castleford

Project Overview: This project involved a full roof replacement on a property in Castleford, with extensive upgrades to improve the roof's durability, ventilation, and aesthetic appeal. The work included removing all old tiles, felt, and lead, and replacing them with high-quality, modern materials that ensure longevity and enhance the appearance of the property.

Scope of Work:

1. Removal of Old Roof Materials:

   • The existing roof tiles, felt, and leadwork were all removed due to age and deterioration. The old tiles showed significant wear, and the felt was no longer effective in providing adequate waterproofing.

2. Installation of New Breathable Felt:

   • A new, breathable felt was installed across the entire roof area. This felt is designed to allow moisture to escape while preventing water ingress, which enhances the roof's weather resistance and reduces condensation buildup.

3. Fitting of New Double Roman Tiles (Grey):

   • New double Roman tiles in a sleek grey color were carefully installed to replace the old, worn-out tiles. These tiles offer both durability and a modern aesthetic that complements the property’s overall appearance. The grey tone adds a contemporary look while blending well with the surrounding architecture.

4. Upgraded Leadwork:

   • All leadwork was meticulously replaced, including areas around the chimney stack and other vulnerable points. This new leadwork ensures a watertight seal and reduces the risk of leaks. Additionally, the chimney stack was ground out and repointed to restore its structural integrity and improve its weatherproofing.

5. Installation of a New Flat Roof:

   • The project also included the installation of a new flat roof section. This part of the roof was updated with materials that provide better water runoff and insulation, ensuring it is both functional and visually appealing.

6. New Dry Valleys and Dry Ridge System:

   • To further enhance the roof's resilience, new dry valleys and a dry ridge system were installed. These systems reduce the need for mortar in vulnerable areas, making the roof more durable and easier to maintain. The dry ridge system, in particular, improves ventilation and provides a secure, weather-resistant ridge line.

Final Result: The completed roof now features a fully modernized, weather-resistant system that includes breathable felt, high-quality grey double Roman tiles, and upgraded leadwork. The addition of dry valleys and a dry ridge system contributes to the roof’s longevity and makes it maintenance-friendly. The comprehensive overhaul has not only improved the roof's functionality but also enhanced the property's curb appeal.

• Complete removal and replacement of old tiles and materials.
