Re-Roofing of Traditional Yorkshire Stone
Despite challenging weather conditions at the Derwent Reservoir banks, our team has made remarkable progress within the designated timeframe and budget. This comprehensive re-roofing project entails a meticulous process, starting with the careful stripping of existing Yorkshire stone, which is then preserved for reuse. We proceed by renewing felt and battens, ensuring the utmost attention to detail in every step of the process.
One of the most crucial aspects of this project is the re-fixing of the stone, where additional material is skillfully applied to match existing structures seamlessly. This requires a keen eye for detail and expertise to ensure that each traditional Yorkshire stone slab is examined thoroughly to find the perfect match in width and thickness. This precision is essential to avoid any visible gaps in the stone layout, ensuring a flawless finish.
Commencing on 14-11-2017 and scheduled for completion by 24-11-2017, our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results within the specified timeline. In the provided image, you can observe the weathering on the stone’s existing overlap. To maintain visibility and aesthetic appeal, we recommend power washing before refitting.
It’s worth noting that a properly fitted Yorkshire stone roof boasts an impressive lifespan of 80-100 years with minimal maintenance. Our team is committed to ensuring the longevity and durability of your roof through key maintenance practices, including sand and cement work, particularly focusing on repointing ridge tiles and verge detail.
