Roofing Sheffield
Roof and Gutter repairs Sheffield
RB Building and landscaping Sheffield offer a roofing and guttering service. From a simple gutter clean through to a full re roof we do it all.
The roof of your property is one of the main components of a house if it's old and tired it could be letting in water and causing untold damage which is very often not spotted until the damage has been caused.
One of the problems that can occur if the slates are missing or in a sorry state is damage to your roof timbers including rafters. This can happen as the water is allowed to penetrate the roof and get inside on to the timbers.
Underneath your slates or tiles you will have slate battens these are used to fix the roof coverings to. The Slate battens will be attached to roof rafters which run all the way from the eaves to the ridge of the roof. Then you will usually have at least one purlin on either side of the roof running horizontally. These purlins will be supported by the properties brickwork and in turn will support the rafters as usually the rafters would be of an inadequate size to span the full distance from eaves to ridge without the extra support of a purlin.
New roofs have slates or tiles attached to tanalised slate battens. The battens are pressure treated with tanalising fluid to keep them free from woodworm and rot.
The battens are trapping a layer of breathable roofing membrane to the rafters.
This breathable roof membrane acts a barrier from water ingress but allows air to travel through it keeping the roof well ventilated.
The picture to the right shows new roof rafters in place on one of our jobs with the blue breathable felt attached. You can also make out the horizontal lines of the roofing battens attached to the outside.
This particular roofed was part of a loft conversion and you can make out the opening in the centre which has been double trimmed for strength to house a velux window.
We can repair or supply and fit new wooden or Plastic fascias, soffits and guttering in white, black, wood effect and various other colours.
The pictures below show old leaking wooden gutters that have been replaced by a new white plastic fascia and black Ogee style gutter.
The plastic gutter is available in a range of styles including round, square, Ogee and now there is a cast iron effect guttering range available.
The costs on different gutter styles vary but the above is in price order round being the cheapest and cast iron effect the most expensive.
