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.

Re-roofing in Hull is at its most common on the post war estates, where concrete tile roofs laid in the same decade are reaching the end together. On the older terraces a re-roof is a bigger conversation involving slate, lead and access from a street frontage.

What re-roofing in Hull involves

• Leadwork and rainwaterChimney flashings, valleys, and where it makes sense, new fascias, soffits and guttering while the scaffold is up.
• New coveringNew tiles or slates, or carefully reclaimed material where the property calls for it.
• Structural checkRafters, purlins and decking inspected once the roof is open, with photographs of anything that needs attention before the covering goes back.

That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our re-roofing page.

Signs your Hull property needs this

• Widespread nail fatigue, with tiles slipping across the whole roof rather than in one spot
• Sagging along the ridge line or between rafters
• Underlay perished or missing so the covering is the only thing keeping water out

Why the scaffold is the moment to do everything else

Scaffold is a real part of the cost of any roof job. Once it is up, the extra cost of replacing fascias, soffits and guttering, sorting the chimney, or re-lining a valley is the labour and materials alone. Doing those jobs separately over the next few years means paying for access three times.

What affects the price in Hull

• Roofline and rainwater goods taken on at the same time
• Scaffold, which depends on the plot as much as the house
• Roof size, pitch, and the number of hips, valleys, dormers and chimneys

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.
