EXPERTISE
Re-roofing Osterley 1930s semis: typical issues at 90 years
A 1930s Osterley semi was built with clay tile or thin concrete tile, no underlay or a brittle bitumen underlay, no eaves insulation and no built-in ventilation. Ninety years on, tiles have outlived their fixings and underlay, and the roof is letting warm wet air into a cold loft, which is one of the main causes of underside condensation.
A proper Osterley re-roof does five things together: strip the existing tile, replace battens and underlay with a breathable membrane, install eaves and ridge ventilation in line with current guidance, replace lead at abutments and chimney, and re-cover with original tile reclaimed and supplemented or like-for-like new.
We strongly recommend dealing with the chimney during the same scaffold-up; the back gutter is the most common failure point. See chimney repair for detail.
