Recent Roofing & Building Work
Photographs from Crown Shield jobs — full re-roofs, strip-outs, leadwork, gable and ridge detail, and repairs on roofs that had come to the end of their life.
New slate roof
A completed re-roof in dark slate, ridge and verge finished off cleanly against the gable.
Full roof replacement
A hipped roof stripped and re-covered in new clay tiles, with new hip and ridge tiles bedded along every line.
Re-roof in progress
New breathable membrane and treated battens fitted, with slates loaded out ready for laying.
Roof strip and repair
Perished felt and failed battens exposed once the old covering came off — the point at which repairs stop being worthwhile.
Re-roof with rooflights
New clay tiles laid around two rooflights, with lead soakers and flashings formed around each opening.
Valley and box gutter lining
A box gutter fully lined and sealed between two roof slopes, with new rafters and battens either side.
Gable and dry verge
New tiles run tight to the gable with a dry verge system fitted, closing the roof edge against wind and rain.
Hip and ridge detail
Hip tiles set out evenly from ridge to eaves — the detail that decides how a finished roof looks from the road.
Terrace re-roof
A terraced house re-roofed in grey tile with ridge re-bedded and the abutment to the neighbouring property weathered in.
Stripping a failed roof
Bare battens, blocked gutters and nesting debris uncovered on an old roof before the new membrane went on.
New build roof and verge
A new house roofed in dark tile, with the gable verge run straight and closed off along the brickwork.
Rooflight fitted into slate
A rooflight set into a slate roof, flashed in on all four sides so the water runs past it rather than into it.
Re-roof under scaffold
A semi-detached roof being re-covered under scaffold, working up the slope course by course.
Tiles loaded out
Grey interlocking tiles loaded across the battens, spread evenly so the roof takes the weight as it is laid.
Membrane and battens
Old covering lifted back, new breathable membrane and battens laid, tiles re-set as the work moves across.
Roof timbers exposed
Roof stripped back to the trusses so the structure can be checked before anything new goes on.
Felt flat roof
A narrow flat roof recovered in torch-on felt, laid to fall with the edges dressed into the wall and gutter.
Flat roof with box gutter
Felt flat roof with a box gutter formed through the middle, taking water off both sides to the outlet.
Flat roof edge trim
New drip trim fitted along the edge of a felt roof, throwing water clear of the brickwork below.
Chimney flaunching and cowl
Stack re-flaunched in fresh mortar with a cowl and bird guard fitted on the pot.
