A homeowner in Putney got in touch having reached the point where their existing roof simply couldn’t be nursed along any further. Rather than keep throwing money at repairs that would only buy a little more time, they opted for a proper refurbishment — and that’s exactly what we delivered.
The Scope of Works
We started by stripping back the existing coverings, giving us the chance to take a proper look at the structure underneath. A handful of minor structural repairs were identified and carried out at this stage, making sure the foundations of the roof were in sound condition before anything new went on top.
With the timbers put right, we installed a new breathable membrane and fresh battens across the full roof area. This gave us a solid, modern base to work from before recovering the roof and renewing all the ridges to finish the roofline off neatly.
Leadwork and Chimney Repairs
Good detailing is what separates a roof that lasts from one that causes problems a few years down the line. We renewed the leadwork throughout, making sure every flashing, valley, and junction was properly dressed and fully watertight. The chimney also had targeted repairs as part of the works, bringing it back up to a standard in keeping with the rest of the refurbishment.
The Result
The finished roof is fully weatherproof, structurally sound, and looking tidy from top to bottom. Our client can now draw a line under years of patch repairs and worry, knowing the property is properly protected for the long haul.
Another straightforward, no-nonsense job done the right way — which is exactly how we like to work at JP Building Services.
