Roofline & Bargeboard Replacement
Bargeboards sit on the sloping gable edge and take the worst of the weather. On exposed streets around Bury and Ramsbottom they are usually the first part of the roofline to go.
What roofline & bargeboards work involves
A failed bargeboard lets wind under the verge tiles, and once the mortar bedding cracks the tiles start to lift. We replace the board, check the batten ends behind it and finish the verge either with fresh bedding or a dry verge system that will not crack again in a few winters.
Where you are already having fascias and guttering done, doing the bargeboards at the same time makes sense, the scaffold or access is already there and the whole roofline ends up matching rather than half old, half new.
Common questions about Roofline & Bargeboards
What is a dry verge?
Interlocking caps that clip over the verge tiles instead of a mortar fillet. They flex with the roof, so you do not get the cracking and dropping mortar you see on older gables.
Do I need the whole roofline doing at once?
Not necessarily. We will quote for the elevation that needs it, and give you a price for the rest so you can plan it.
Often done at the same time
- Fascias & Soffits
Fascias and soffits are the boards that close off your roof edge. When they soften or split, rain gets behind them and starts on the rafter feet, so we replace them properly rather than cladding over the top.
- Cladding
Cladding is the quickest way to take a tired-looking elevation and make it look cared for again, and unlike render or painted timber, it does not need doing again every couple of years.
- Roofing & Repairs
Most roof problems are small and cheap if you catch them early. A slipped tile or a failed flashing will not fix itself, and by the time it shows on a ceiling you are also paying for plaster.
