The roofs in Hull

Working in Hull means dealing with terraced access as often as roof condition. Scaffold on a street frontage, shared valleys between neighbouring properties and abutments on a party wall all change how a job is planned. It is also why so many leaks here turn out to start on somebody else's roof and show up in yours.

Hull's housing runs from the Avenues and the terraces off Beverley Road through to the post war estates north and east of the centre, and the roofs change completely as you move between them.

Garage roofs across Hull are mostly flat felt on a timber or chipboard deck, and many have been quietly leaking for years before anyone rings. On the estates the garage is often integral or attached, which means a leak there can end up inside the house.

What garage roofs in Hull involves

• Trims and rainwaterNew edge trims, drip trims and guttering so the water leaves the roof properly.
• Asbestos cement sheetWhere an old corrugated cement sheet roof is in place, overclad options that leave it undisturbed, or referral to a licensed removal contractor where removal is the right answer.
• Deck replacementSoft, delaminated or sagging decks re-boarded and the falls corrected so water actually reaches the outlet.

That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our garage roofs page.

Signs your Hull property needs this

• Old corrugated cement sheet that is cracked or has slipped fixings
• Rotten fascia or barge along the front edge
• Chipboard or timber deck sagging between the joists

The deck is the job

On a garage, the covering is rarely the whole story. Most flat garage roofs are chipboard or softwood deck, and once the covering has been leaking for a while the deck is soft. Laying a new membrane over a soft deck gives you a roof that looks perfect and fails early, so we take a corner up and show you what is under there before we quote.
