Types of Roof repairs in Petworth

Petworth Roof Lining

Felt lining on a roof becomes worn over time, especially the older non breathable membrane (bitumen based.)

At Bespoke Roofing LTD we are able to offer the roofing service for a new breathable membrane to be installed on your property.

You may not be aware but ventilation cannot be installed without having a breathable membrane lining, as this causes condensation in your roof space which can appear as a leak!

I would recommend this service to any client who's roof tiles are in good condition but the felt underneath has become dilapidated and also those who wish to install ventilation within their roof space.

Petworth Chimney repairs.

Chimney stacks are one of the main causes for leaks into an internal property.

The following issues are the most common to identify.

1. Chimney Pointing - Age plays a significant factor in the state of the mortar on your chimney. Once your mortar is a certain age it will begin to crack and allow water into your internal property.

2. Chimney Rendering - Once again age is a significant factor in the state of the render on your chimney. If the render begins to crack this will allow water to travel and sit between your brickwork, eventually leading to water penetration.

3. Chimney Flaunching - The chimney flaunching sometimes known as a coping is the top section of mortar that allows your pots to be bedded correctly, but also is laid to a fall allowing water to travel off the top of your stack.

4. Chimney Pots & Cowls - Chimney pots and cowls can become cracked with age, and driving rain can also cause ingress of water should a chimney cowl not be installed.

5. Lead Flashings - Lead on average has a life span of 20-30 years dependent on its grade. Over time lead expands and retracts with heat and can begin to crack and malign.

   
   
   
   

Petworth Moss Removal.

Moss, algae and lichen build up can be a big problem for homeowners, not only can it hold water on your roof but also once it falls can block guttering and downpipes preventing free flowing water.

There are a few methods in which we are able to offer in order to remove this from your roof.

The first method is a standard dry scrape - manually removing all moss, algae and lichens from your roof.

The second method is to jet wash and seal.

A manual dry scrape is performed first removing all moss, algae and lichens from your roof.

Once all moss is removed a high powered jet wash is performed with an anti fungal wash to all pitched roofing elevations required.

Once dry we use a high quality roofing sealant to aid in prevention of re-growth and ensure that the roof is 100% clean.

Petworth valley repairs/replacements.

There are a few different ways a valley can be installed.

The most common types of valley are tiled valleys, lead valleys and fibreglass valley.

At Bespoke Roofing we are able to offer all of these option but can depend upon the gradient that your valley is positioned.

In most cases we would also change the roof lining a metre either side of the valley so we can be confident that it is completely weathered.

Petworth ridge, hip and bonnet repairs.

Ridge, hip, and bonnet tiles are fundamental materials that form the external structure of your roof.

Ridge and hip lines can be formed using either a mortar mix or a dry ridge system, with bonnet tiles being formed using a mortar mix.

The most common method of laying ridge, hips and bonnets is using a mortar mix, which in time can deteriorate through weathering.

This is one of our most common repairs as the mortar begins to age well before the tile itself in most cases.

The ridge, hip and bonnet tiles  can also deteriorate through age and we also offer the service to replace the tile itself depending on its condition.

Another common roofing issue is through storm damage where tiles can be stripped from the roof in high winds, and therefore require replacing - mainly through insurance.

We at Bespoke Roofing offer all types of repairs, from full ridge, bonnet and hip lines to single tile replacements.

Petworth roofing history

Petworth House, a majestic stately home located in West Sussex, possesses a rich history that intertwines with the evolution of roofing in the region. Built in the late 17th century and expanded in the following decades, Petworth House showcases a variety of architectural styles, most notably Georgian and Victorian influences. The roofing of this grand estate has played a significant role in both its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Historically, the roofs of Petworth House were constructed using local materials, echoing the traditional building practices of the time. The early roofs were typically covered with hand-made clay tiles or slates, which were abundant in the surrounding areas. These materials offered durability against the elements, essential for a structure housing the leisure and affairs of the influential Percy family.

As roofing techniques evolved, so did the styles seen in grand buildings like Petworth House. The introduction of lead roofing in specific sections, along with intricate designs and features such as dormers and parapets, reflected the wealth and status of the estate. The craftsmanship involved in these roofing projects was a mark of pride, representing the skilled artisans of the time who specialized in roofing and construction.

Throughout the years, significant restoration and conservation efforts have been made at Petworth House, particularly to preserve its historical character. These efforts often included the careful repair and replacement of roofing materials to maintain authenticity while ensuring the structure's longevity. Preservation techniques frequently utilize modern materials that mimic the appearance of traditional roofing, providing improved weather resistance without compromising historical integrity.

In broader terms, the history of roofing in Petworth has mirrored the changes in architectural styles and building technology over the centuries. From simple thatch and tile roofs in earlier homes to the elaborate designs seen in more recent constructions, roofing in this area has consistently evolved, reflecting the local environment and the demands of contemporary living.

Today, Petworth House stands not only as a testament to the grandeur of its past but also as an example of how historical roofing practices have influenced modern approaches to construction and restoration. Visitors to the estate can appreciate the skill and craftsmanship evident in the rooflines, a feature that remains integral to the overall beauty and functionality of this historical treasure.
