Servicing Liverpool, Merseyside and surrounding areas we specialise in the following roofing services
RE-ROOFING
Re-roofing involves removing and replacing the existing roof covering, which can include tiles, slates or other materials. This process addresses issues such as leaks, damage, and wear, and can improve the roof’s durability, energy efficiency, and appearance. Re-roofing can be a partial or complete overhaul, depending on the condition of the underlying roof structure and the extent of the damage.
ROOF SLATING
Roof slating is the process of covering a roof with slates, a durable and natural stone material. These slates are laid in overlapping rows to create a weatherproof barrier that protects the building from the elements. Slate is known for its longevity, resistance to fire and water, and its distinctive aesthetic appeal, often characterized by its natural texture and variety of colors. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to ensure the roof’s durability and effectiveness.
TILING
Roof tiling involves covering a roof structure with individual tiles, which are typically made of materials like clay or concrete. The tiles are arranged in overlapping rows to provide a weatherproof layer that protects the building from rain, snow, and other environmental elements. This method not only enhances the roof’s durability and insulation but also adds an aesthetic appeal to the structure. Proper installation is crucial to ensure long-term performance and to prevent issues such as leaks or tile displacement.
lead work
Lead work in roofing involves using lead, a durable and malleable metal, for various roofing applications such as flashing, gutters, and cladding. It is commonly used to seal joints, edges, and penetrations in the roof to prevent water ingress. Lead’s flexibility and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for creating weatherproof seals around chimneys, vents, and roof intersections. Properly installed lead work can significantly extend the lifespan of a roof.
uPVC FASCIA SOFFIT GUTTERING
UPVC fascia, soffit, and guttering systems are components of a building’s roofline designed to protect and enhance its appearance. The fascia is the vertical board that runs along the roof edge, supporting the lower edge of the roof tiles and the guttering. The soffit is the horizontal board beneath the fascia, covering the eaves and providing ventilation to the roof space. Guttering, also made from UPVC, is attached to the fascia to channel rainwater away from the roof and foundation. These components are known for their durability, low maintenance, and resistance to rot and weathering.
DRY VERGE UNITS
A dry verge system is a roofing solution designed to securely cover and protect the edges of roof tiles without the use of mortar. Typically made from plastic, these systems are installed along the gable ends of a roof to prevent water ingress, wind uplift, and pest intrusion. Dry verge systems are known for their durability, low maintenance requirements, and ease of installation, offering a neat and weatherproof finish to the roof edges.
FLAT ROOFING INCLUDING TRADITIONAL BUILT UP FELT
Felt roofing involves using layers of bitumen-coated felt sheets, which are installed and bonded together to create a waterproof membrane. This type of roofing is often used for flat or low-pitched roofs and provides good protection against the elements. Felt roofing is the most common and cost effective system for flat roofing.
GRP FIBREGLASS
Fibreglass roofing, also known as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) roofing, consists of applying a resin and fibreglass matting to create a seamless, durable, and waterproof layer. This type of roofing is highly resistant to weather, UV rays, and impact, making it a long-lasting option for flat roofs and other applications.
FLAT TO PITCH CONVERSIONS
Converting a flat roof to a pitched roof involves altering the roof’s structure to create a sloped surface. This conversion can improve drainage, reduce maintenance, enhance insulation, and increase the aesthetic appeal and value of a building. The process includes designing the new roof framework, reinforcing the existing structure if necessary, and installing the new roofing materials. This complex project requires careful planning and professional expertise to ensure structural integrity and compliance with building regulations.
CHIMNEY WORK
Chimney work involves inspecting, repairing, or installing chimney cowls to ensure proper ventilation and safety in a home. Cowls are devices fitted on chimney tops to improve draft, prevent downdrafts, and keep out rain and birds.
ROOF REPAIRS
Roof repair entails identifying and fixing any issues with a roof, such as leaks, damage tiles or slates, or flashing problems, to maintain its structural integrity and protect the building from weather damage. If we think your roof can be repaired rather than renewed we will always offer this option
ROOF WINDOWS
oof windows, also known as skylights, are installed on the roof to bring natural light into the interior space. They enhance aesthetics, provide ventilation, and can contribute to energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Roof Vision always recommend to use a Velux or Dakea roof window
INSURANCE WORK
Insurance roof work refers to repairs or replacements done on a roof that is covered by an insurance policy due to damage caused by covered perils such as storms, hail, or fire. The process typically involves filing a claim, inspection by an adjuster, and then hiring contractors to perform the necessary repairs or replacements within the coverage limits of the policy.
FULL INSURANCE COVER
Roof Vision provides coverage for risks associated with running a roofing business. This insurance includes general liability coverage to protect against third-party claims of property damage. Roof Vision can guarantee peace of mind in the unlikely event of this happening.
