Roof Replacement for Neighbouring Homes in Gourock

Two neighbouring homeowners needed a full roof replacement

Project Type

Semi-Detached

Location

Gourock

Client's Challenge

Two neighbouring homeowners needed a full roof replacement, requiring a coordinated approach to ensure a seamless finish and long-lasting protection. Both properties had ageing and damaged slate and tile roofs, rotten timber sarking and facias, leaking leadwork, and outdated guttering. One property required a new Velux window, and both needed comprehensive repairs to chimneys and skew walls.

Our Solution

For the first property, we safely stripped and skipped the existing slate, felt, and lead, dropped a chimney to below roof level and capped it, inspected timber sarking and replaced any rot, installed Marley breathable membrane with eaves support trays, fitted a new MK04 Velux window, replaced rotten timber facias with black UPVC, installed new black deep flow guttering, added code 5 lead flashing at the base of the remaining chimneys, installed treated timber counter and tile battens, fitted new GRP valleys with lead soakers, tiled the roof with modern smooth grey Marley tiles, and completed with a dry verge and ridge system. For the neighbouring property, we safely stripped and skipped the existing tile, battens, felt, and leadwork, inspected the sarking boards and replaced all rot, installed Marley breathable membrane with eaves support trays, stripped and skipped the existing covering from skew walls, installed code 5 lead flashings to skew walls and chimney, fitted powder-coated aluminium caps to skew walls, replaced rotten timber facias, installed black deep flow guttering, added treated timber counter and tile battens, tiled the roof in modern smooth grey Marley tiles including vented tiles, installed new flashings at the base of overflow pipes, and finished with a dry verge and ridge system.

Project Outcome

Both homes received modern, fully weatherproof roofs finished in smooth grey Marley tiles. All structural and timber issues were resolved, gutters and leadwork replaced, and the Velux window installed. The homeowners now have complete peace of mind knowing their roofs are protected, fully guaranteed for 20 years, and built to last for decades.
