Emergency Roofers in Cranbrook
Cranbrook's weatherboarded high street and the farmhouses around it both throw up their own kind of sudden roof trouble.
Emergency Roofers in Cranbrook
The centre of Cranbrook is known for its weatherboarding and the Union Windmill, and the roofs that sit above it are often steep, old and tiled with handmade clay. When one of those roofs develops a sudden leak, finding the point of failure usually means getting up close rather than guessing from the street.
Out towards the edges of the town, oast houses and farmhouses bring their own problems, particularly where old lead flashing around cowls and chimneys has started to fail after years of weather.
Cranbrook combines a tightly built weatherboarded centre with scattered oast houses, timber-framed farmhouses and more recent infill housing on its outskirts, so roof pitches and materials vary a good deal within a short distance.
Local knowledge
Common emergency issues in Cranbrook
01
Steep tiled roofs losing tiles
The steep pitches common in the town centre mean a slipped tile can travel and cause secondary damage lower down the roof.
02
Oast cowl flashing
Lead flashing around oast roundels and cowls on converted oast houses nearby is a common source of sudden leaks after wind-driven rain.
03
Weatherboard and roof junctions
Where tiled roofs meet weatherboarded gables, the flashing detail is often the weak point once it ages.
