Roof Repairs in Radcliffe-on-Trent: Tiles, Slates and Lead
With period homes, inter-war houses and modern estates all in one village, the faults we are asked about in Radcliffe-on-Trent vary. Slipped slates and tired lead are typical on the older buildings, ridge mortar and cracked tiles on the inter-war semis, and failed flashings on newer builds where a porch or extension meets the main slope. A leak in one corner of a ceiling can come from a defect several metres away, which is why we do not guess.
Evans Roofing Services, based in Beckingham, repairs roofs throughout Radcliffe-on-Trent and nearby villages. We trace the source of a leak first, so the repair deals with the cause and not just the stain.
Faults at the joins
On a house that has been added to, the places where an older roof meets a newer section are the most common leak points. Lead or flashing at these junctions needs the closest attention during any roof check, because small splits let water run behind the covering. Lead that has split or lifted at one of these joins is easy to overlook from the ground, so photos taken from the loft side are helpful.
Valleys, abutments and the ridge lines are inspected in the same way.

Matching materials on larger and older homes
Larger properties have more roof to look after, and an older roof needs replacement tiles or slates that are compatible with it. We will explain what is available and whether a repair will hold, or whether a larger section would be better replaced.
Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the damage and any internal staining, and we will advise on next steps and quote for the work.

Roof Repairs in Radcliffe-on-Trent: common questions
Where do leaks usually start on a larger village house?
Often at junctions: where old and new roofs join, round chimneys, at valleys and along abutments. We check all of those as part of the investigation, not just the tiles. Getting these right is usually what separates a lasting repair from a patch.
Can you repair storm damage on a slate roof?
Yes, we can replace slipped or broken slates and renew damaged fixings, subject to availability and the condition of the rest of the roof. If the damage is bad, temporary protection may be the first step. If the covering is old, we also look at the surrounding slates for further trouble.
