The roofs in Goole

Goole's older terraces bring the usual terraced complications: shared valleys, party wall abutments and access that has to be planned rather than assumed. The estates around them bring the standard post war pattern of sound tiles, spent fixings and perished felt underneath.

Goole is an inland port on the Ouse, with older terraces near the docks and estate housing around them, and open low lying ground that gives the wind a clear run.

Guttering in Goole works harder than most, because wind driven rain arrives faster than a standard half round section can carry it away. Where a gutter overflows in the same spot every time, the answer is usually a deeper section rather than a like for like replacement.

That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our fascias, soffits and guttering page.

Signs your Goole property needs this

• Capped over fascias, where uPVC was screwed onto rotten timber rather than replacing it
• Soffits with holes where birds or squirrels have got into the roof space
• Green staining down the wall beneath a gutter joint or downpipe

Capping over versus full replacement

Capping is when a thin uPVC board is fixed over the existing timber fascia. It looks the same on day one and costs less, and if the timber behind it is sound it can be a legitimate job. The problem is that most people are replacing their roofline precisely because the timber is not sound, and capping seals wet, rotting wood behind a plastic board where nobody can see it.

What affects the price in Goole

• Colour and finish, since woodgrain foils cost more than white
• Guttering profile and whether the roof needs a deeper flow section
• Whether the timber behind is sound or needs repair once it is off

Everything is priced after we have seen the roof, in writing, with the scope written down so there are no new numbers once work starts.
