Roof Replacement in Ocklynge

Roof Replacement in Ocklynge

Roof replacement in Ocklynge requires specification matched to the local conditions. The 1930s–60s semi-detached and detached, elevated North Downs-facing position and elevated with South Downs wind exposure; ridge mortar failure accelerated on south and south-west facing slopes mean that correct material choice is as important as price. We survey before quoting and give you an itemised written quote with no hidden extras.

The 1930s–60s semi-detached and detached, elevated North Downs-facing position in Ocklynge means that plain concrete tile on 1930s–50s stock, early concrete interlocking on 1960s development. Nail sickness on 1930s–50s plain concrete tile; dry-fix ridge required on exposed south-west elevations; valley blockages from downs-blown debris. Every job starts with a free survey — we diagnose accurately, quote honestly, and deliver what we promise.

What to Expect During a Ocklynge Re-Roof

A full roof replacement in Ocklynge follows the same process on every job. Scaffold is erected on day one — full scaffold, included in the quote price, never an add-on. The existing tiles, felt and battens are stripped and the exposed deck is inspected. We provide a written structural report before any new materials go on. New BS 5534 breathable felt is laid, followed by new treated timber battens to the correct gauge, then the new tiles or slates to agreed specification.

All lead valleys, flashings and soakers are replaced as part of every re-roof — not retained unless in genuinely sound condition with your agreement. Ridge and hips are completed in dry-fix on all exposed Ocklynge elevations. The site is cleaned at the end of every working day. Our written 10-year workmanship guarantee certificate is issued on the day the job is signed off.

Material Selection for Ocklynge Properties

The 1930s–60s housing stock in Ocklynge with its plain concrete and early interlocking tile means that material selection is not a generic decision. Nail sickness and downs-exposed ridge mortar failure is the primary consideration for many Ocklynge properties. We advise on the correct specification at survey stage and never recommend a more expensive material when a cost-effective alternative would perform equally well in Ocklynge's specific conditions.
