Belper is about eight miles north-west of our base in Ilkeston, and it's one of the towns we've posted the most jobs from.
These are some of the Belper jobs we've posted lately, from a big older house taken back to the rafters to a small porch.
A full strip and re-roof on a large, older Belper property. Taking it back showed timbers that had started to rot, so those were replaced before anything new went on. Then came a breathable membrane, treated battens, eaves protection trays, a new Keylite roof window, fresh chimney leadwork and repointed gable ends, with dry ridge and dry valley systems and Sandtoft 2020 tiles to finish. Fascias and guttering were renewed where they needed it.
The owners wanted a balcony at the back without losing the traditional slate at the front. Harrison Joinery restructured the rear section and formed the opening, Holt Scaffolding put the access up, and we laid EPDM rubber on the balcony base and cheeks, fitted the windows and flashing kits, slated around the new opening and added bonding gutters where the roof meets the houses either side. The front chimney was ground out and repointed while the scaffold was there.
A new porch that had to look as old as the house. The customer wanted it to sit with the main roof, so Josh used handmade Staffordshire Blue tiles, in his words one of the best tiles ever made, and the porch now looks like it has always been part of the building.
The dry verge caps on this roof had been fitted wrongly by someone else. We took them off and fitted new black dry verge caps, fixed and sealed so they stay put. Elsewhere in town we've taken the coping stones off a flat roof, covered it in EPDM over new 18mm OSB and re-bedded the stones, and repointed bonnet hip tiles.
Just down the road in Kilburn, a customer had had enough of a flat roof that leaked, so we changed it to a pitched roof with new white cladding to both sides, white fascia and black half-round guttering. Harrison Joinery did the carpentry.
Belper is about eight miles from our base, with Smalley and Kilburn on the way, so getting out to look at your roof is never a long trip.
