🔨 Works carried out include:

✅ Complete Re-Roof – Removal of the existing roof coverings and installation of new FP McCann Thin Flat concrete roof tiles, giving the property a smart, clean finish.

💪 A complete transformation from top to bottom!

Not only has this dramatically improved the appearance of the property, but the new roof coverings, dry-fix systems and refurbished chimneys will help keep it protected for many years to come.

💦🔎 Remember the leak we were water-testing a little while back? We found it.

This beautiful property in Ingleby, Derbyshire dates back to 1745, with a later section added around 1860.

The owners had been dealing with a persistent leak that 3 previous roofers had been unable to successfully locate and resolve, so rather than guessing, we systematically water-tested the roof until we could recreate the leak and trace the true source.

The problem was coming from a lead gulley, but the water was tracking its way through the roof and showing internally in a completely different area.

That’s exactly why roof leaks can be so difficult to diagnose — where the water appears inside isn’t always where it’s getting in.

While carrying out the works, we also completed a substantial amount of maintenance across the roof:

🔨 All ridge tiles removed and completely rebedded
🧱 All 4 chimneys cleaned, completely re-flaunched and repointed where required
🐦 Bird guards fitted to all chimney pots
🏠 Numerous defective tiles replaced, including old handmade tiles to the original section and Staffordshire Blues to the later section
💦 Valleys and lead gullies cleaned and checked
🍂 Guttering fully cleaned out
✅ Lead gulley leak identified and rectified

A really satisfying job on a fantastic old Derbyshire property — and a good example of why proper investigation matters before simply throwing repairs at a leak.

Sometimes finding the leak is half the job. 🔎🏠

💦 3 roofers had already tried to find this leak…

The customer had been struggling with a persistent roof leak and, despite several previous attempts to repair it, the water was still getting in.

So instead of guessing, we got the hose out! 😂

We systematically water-tested different sections of the roof while monitoring inside until we could recreate the leak and pinpoint exactly where the water was entering.

And we found it. 👀

The actual problem wasn’t quite what you might expect…

We’ll show you what we found — and how we put it right — in the next post.

⚠️ WHAT’S HIDING UNDER YOUR ROOF? ⚠️

This one turned into a much bigger job than anyone expected!

From the outside, this looked like a fairly straightforward pitched roof replacement. However, once we started stripping the roof back, we discovered that a previous pitched roof had simply been constructed over the top of the original felt flat roof.

Unfortunately, the old flat roof underneath was in a very poor and unsafe condition, and a significant amount of the weight from the pitched roof above had been left bearing onto this old structure.

Once we uncovered it, there was only one proper way to deal with it.

🔨 We completely stripped out the previous pitched roof
🔨 Removed the old felt flat roof construction underneath
🔨 Removed the deteriorated and unsuitable timberwork
🔨 Rebuilt the roof structure correctly from the ground up
🔨 Installed new roofing timbers and supporting structure
🔨 Installed new breathable roofing membrane and treated battens
🔨 Finished the roof with new tiles
🔨 Installed new leadwork and stepped flashings around the adjoining brickwork
🔨 Finished with new guttering to the front

The end result is a properly constructed pitched roof, rather than simply adding another layer over an existing problem.

Jobs like this are exactly why we always investigate what we find as we strip a roof. Covering something up might make it look good from the outside, but if the structure underneath isn’t right, the problem is still there.

These before, during and after photos really show the difference. 👌

🏡 Keeping a Late-1800s Roof Going Strong | Kinoulton

Something a little different for us recently at this beautiful old property at Old Moat Court in Kinoulton, Nottinghamshire.

Believed to date back to the late 1800s, this converted former agricultural building still retains plenty of its original character, including its traditional clay pantile roof.

Rather than replacing a roof like this unnecessarily, the aim was to carry out careful, targeted maintenance, retaining its character while dealing with the areas that had deteriorated over time.

🔨 Works completed included:

• Removing and replacing an existing lead valley with new leadwork
• Carefully sorting, adjusting and securing areas of the traditional clay pantiles
• Stripping back problem areas and installing new roofing felt and battens where required
• Cleaning, checking and adjusting the guttering around the property
• Installing new flashing kits to the heritage/conservation-style VELUX windows
• Forming and installing new leadwork to the upstairs window cheeks
• General inspection and preventative maintenance across the roof

With older roofs, replacement isn’t always the answer. Good maintenance and sympathetic repairs can preserve the original materials and appearance while helping keep the building weathertight for many more years.

It was a pleasure working on a property with this much character and history.

🏠 ROOFLINE TRANSFORMATION & PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE – CHELLASTON, DERBY 🔨

A great transformation on this property in Chellaston, Derby, where we’ve completely freshened up the exterior while also carrying out important preventative roof maintenance and ventilation improvements to help protect the property for years to come.

The finished result looks incredibly clean with the white roofline against the new square black guttering and downpipes. 👌

Works completed included:

✅ New clean white uPVC soffits & fascias installed throughout
✅ White uPVC hollow cladding fitted to the apexes for a smart, low-maintenance finish
✅ New square black guttering & downpipes throughout
✅ Roofline upgraded to the main house, garage, lower section above the front door and bay window
✅ New vented eaves system installed to provide continuous low-level ventilation into the roof space
✅ New roof tile vents installed to further improve airflow and help reduce the risk of condensation and moisture build-up
✅ Valleys rebedded and pointed where required
✅ Broken and defective roof tiles removed and replaced
✅ Roof carefully and gently cleaned to remove moss and debris without unnecessarily damaging the existing tiles
✅ Anti-moss biocide treatment applied to help prevent future moss growth

This job wasn’t simply about improving the appearance of the property.

While carrying out the roofline works, we took the opportunity to make sure the existing roof received the preventative maintenance it needed. By dealing with deteriorating areas, replacing damaged tiles, maintaining the valleys and improving the roof-space ventilation, we can help prevent smaller issues developing into much more expensive problems later on.

The combination of the vented eaves and additional roof tile vents also helps create better airflow through the roof space, reducing the likelihood of condensation and moisture-related problems.

A really smart finish and, more importantly, a property that’s now had the maintenance and ventilation improvements needed to help with the long-term performance and longevity of the roof. 🏠✅

🏠🔨 FULL RE-ROOF COMPLETED IN WOLLATON, NOTTINGHAM 🔨🏠

Another big transformation recently completed by the LS Roofing and Building team, this time in Wollaton.

The existing roof was covered with old Rosemary tiles which were well past their best, so rather than continuing with temporary repairs, the roof was stripped back and completely renewed to give the property a modern, low-maintenance roofing system built to last.

For the new roof we installed Red Marley Duo Edgemere tiles, giving the property a fresh finish while keeping a traditional appearance that suits the house perfectly. 👌

The full works included:

🔹 Complete removal and disposal of the old Rosemary roof tiles
🔹 Roof structure inspected once completely exposed
🔹 Loft insulation topped up to meet current Building Regulations requirements
🔹 New breathable roofing membrane and treated battens
🔹 New Red Marley Duo Edgemere roof tiles throughout
🔹 New maintenance-free dry hip system
🔹 New maintenance-free dry ridge system
🔹 New dry valley systems
🔹 New flashing kits installed around the existing VELUX windows
🔹 New leadwork installed to the chimneys
🔹 Chimneys re-flaunched and repointed where required
🔹 All-new uPVC soffits and fascias
🔹 New guttering and downpipes throughout
🔹 All waste removed and the property left clean and tidy on completion

The result is a complete upgrade rather than simply replacing the tiles — improving the roof covering, ventilation, insulation, weather protection and roofline at the same time. 🏡

With the old Rosemary tiles at the end of their serviceable life, the customer now has a completely renewed roof using modern materials and maintenance-free dry roofing systems, along with upgraded insulation to bring the property in line with current requirements.

📍 Wollaton, Nottingham

If you have an older tiled roof that’s starting to deteriorate, it doesn’t always make sense to keep spending money on individual repairs. We’re happy to inspect it and advise whether a repair or full replacement is the most cost-effective option.

🏡🔑 ANOTHER HOMEBUYER REPORT – ANOTHER ROOF SORTED! 🔑🏡

We’ve been carrying out more and more of this type of work recently for both buyers and sellers, helping get roofing issues highlighted on property surveys professionally resolved.

On this property, the HomeBuyer Report identified deterioration to the existing verge, which required attention as part of the sale.

Rather than simply patching up the failing mortar, we installed a new maintenance-free dry verge system, providing a much neater, more secure and longer-lasting solution. 🔨🏠

✔️ Existing deteriorated verge addressed
✔️ New dry verge system installed
✔️ Maintenance-free finish
✔️ Professionally fitted
✔️ Work fully guaranteed
✔️ Guarantee made transferable to the new homeowners

The transferable guarantee was particularly important on this job. Although the work was arranged before the property changed hands, the new owners will still benefit from the guarantee once they take ownership, giving both parties additional reassurance.

If you’re selling a property and your buyer’s survey has highlighted roofing defects, or you’re buying a home and your HomeBuyer Report has raised concerns about the roof, we can help.

We can assess the issues raised, explain the appropriate repair and provide a clear written quotation for the work required.

🏡🔑 BUYING OR SELLING A HOME? DON’T IGNORE THE ROOF! 🔑🏡

Another job completed in Chilwell, Nottingham after we were contacted following a HomeBuyer Report which highlighted several issues with the roof.

With the property recently sold, the roofing defects needed addressing, so we carried out the necessary remedial works to get everything back into good condition. 🔨

Works included:

✔️ Rebedding & repointing the hips and ridge tiles
✔️ Replacing deteriorated/defective roof tiles
✔️ Cleaning out the guttering
✔️ Re-flaunching the chimney
✔️ Installing new leadwork to the rear chimney apron
✔️ General inspection and remedial works to the roof

🏠 We’ve actually been carrying out a lot of this type of work lately for both buyers AND sellers.

A survey or HomeBuyer Report can often highlight roofing defects that need attention before a sale can progress — from slipped or deteriorating tiles and failing mortar to chimney, leadwork and guttering issues.

Whether you’re selling a property and need issues rectifying, or you’ve recently purchased a home and want the items on your survey professionally addressed, we’re happy to help.

We can assess the issues highlighted within the report, explain what actually needs doing and provide a clear written quotation for the required works.

🚨 JOB COMPLETED — Stapleford 🚨

Sometimes it’s not just about getting the job done — it’s about getting it done when the customer needs you most.

We were recently contacted by a customer in Stapleford who had been let down by another contractor and needed their flat roof completed urgently.

Their rendering team was ready to start, but they couldn’t begin until the roofing work was finished, so we got the job booked in and pulled out all the stops to keep the project moving.

This wasn’t just a straightforward roof replacement either. We carried out a full upgrade, including:

🔨 New rubber flat roof system
🔨 New insulation
🔨 New fascias
🔨 New guttering and downpipes
🔨 All completed ready for the rendering team to continue

The result is a watertight, insulated and fully finished roof, with new fascias and guttering to complete the outside of the property.

We understand that when you’re having work carried out on your home, being let down can be incredibly frustrating — especially when it holds up other trades. We were pleased to be able to step in, get the roof sorted and get the customer’s project back on track. 👌

Another job completed and another happy customer!
