Another roof transformation from Neate Roofing Services 🏠👌
The original slates were laboratory tested and confirmed to contain chrysotile, commonly known as white asbestos. With no membrane beneath the covering, this roof was ready for an upgrade.
Our competent, asbestos-trained and certified team carried out the removal, with the relevant disposal certification provided.
The new roof includes:
✅ Breathable roofing membrane
✅ New treated roofing battens
✅ New fibre cement slates
✅ Over-fascia ventilation
✅ Ventilated dry ridge system
✅ New lead soakers and flashing
✅ A new VELUX roof window, with supporting timbers installed around the opening
Every layer has a purpose. The membrane adds a secondary weather barrier beneath the slates, while ventilation at the eaves and ridge helps airflow through the roof space to manage moisture and reduce condensation risk.
New treated battens provide the fixing base for the slates, and lead soakers and flashing protect the junctions where the roof meets the masonry.
The new VELUX brings natural light into the space below—a welcome addition while the roof was being renewed. ☀️
A fresh finish, improved weather protection and attention to the details beneath the slates. Proud of the team’s work on this one, as always. 👏
