When thinking of a new roof in tiles there is a huge range and variety, in fact there are too many to mention. They vary from double-lapped crossed bonded clay tiles to interlocking concrete tiles, fixed gauge to variable gauge, flat faced surfaces to deep profiled tiles, the list goes on. There is vast array of colours available for most roof tiles too. Ricky Butterworth Roofing can install any tiled roof you require and give advice on any repairs you may need to your tiled roof.
Fascias, soffits and gutters are mostly a cosmetic choice. Sometimes it's a required repair where the original gutters have failed and have rotted the old wooden fascias over the years.

Over-clad fascias and soffits are also available if you need to spend less, these are fitted over the original wooden fascia and soffits.
Lead work on your roof is found at the abutments, valleys, bay roofs and dormers. Re-leading a valley is the simplest lead task due to the lack of dressing to the lead needed. On the other hand re-leading a chimney stack when persuading the lead to go round corners at the apron, flashings and back pans can prove quite tricky for an in experienced roofer, often resulting in splits or too much thinning of the lead. Mistakes aren't an option when using lead as it's one of the most costly materials used in roofing.
EPDM flat roofing is a single ply rubber membrane cover that is made using a 100% cured synthetic rubber Ethylene, Propylene, Diene and Monomer. Unlike other materials, an EPDM roof does not suffer with cracks or splits caused by age. The EPDM roofing repels all moisture and "breathes" to allow vapours to escape which prevents blisters from occurring. Despite its resilience it is easily moulded to blend in with the contours and shapes of your roof. The benefits include. Superior Durability, offers resistance to ozone, UV radiation and high or low temperatures giving the membrane a life expectancy of up to 50 years.
Roof slates come in all shapes and sizes from natural slate, stone slates and artificial. The two main types used are natural slate, which gives a traditional look to your roof, and artificial (fibre cement) slates which provide a more modern look. Both are a light-weight roof covering in comparison to tiles and stone slates. When re roofing a slate roof the reason why a re-roof is needed is mostly down to nail rot, meaning the nails fixing the slates are no longer providing adequate strength. If nail rot occurs you will find that you notice slipped and missing slates year after year, so sometimes it just makes sense to re-roof your property instead of paying for regular repairs and to prevent leaks into your property when roof damage isn't noticed in time.
