Box Gutter Roof Replacement and Felt Repairs in Newcastle upon Tyne, North-East England
Your roof keeps your home safe and dry, so making sure it’s in good condition is essential.
We recently helped a homeowner in Newcastle upon Tyne, North-East England, by replacing the roof in their box gutter area and repairing some worn-out felt. Here’s how we got the job done.
The Project: Giving the Roof a Fresh Start
The box gutter area at the front of this home needed a full roof replacement, plus repairs to the surrounding felt. Using durable materials and expert skills, we made sure this roof is now watertight and built to last.
How We Did It
Safe and Secure Access
External contractors set up HSE-approved scaffolding at the front of the property to give our team safe access to the roof.
Out with the Old
- Removed the worn-out flat roof covering, boards, and rubber on the copings.
- Treated the joists with timber protection to keep them in great shape.
A Strong New Roof Deck
- Installed a sturdy OSB Smart-Ply roof deck.
- Applied water-based glue to secure everything in place.
Long-Lasting Flat Roof Covering
- Fitted a Classic Bond EPDM flat roof covering, known for its 50+ year lifespan.
- Extended the EPDM under the first few rows of slates and up the abutment walls for a watertight seal.
- Finished by wrapping the rubber over the abutment tops for extra protection.
Upgrading the Box Gutter
- Added high-performance gutter trims, kerb trims, and wall plates where needed.
- Used corner patches and primer for a secure, durable finish.
Tile and Felt Repairs
- Removed a few rows of roof tiles near the bottom of the roof.
- Replaced the old battens and underfelt with new materials.
- Installed Klober Permo Extreme underlay for extra protection on low-pitched roofs.
- Reinstalled roof tiles, replacing any broken ones for a neat finish.
Finishing Touches
Once the job was done, we cleaned up thoroughly and left the property looking spotless.
The Results: A Roof That’s Built to Last
This roof is now fully protected with a durable, low-maintenance flat roof system. The new materials will keep the home safe and dry for decades to come, giving the homeowner peace of mind.
