Clay Tile Roof Installation In Oundle

When it comes to installing a clay tile roof, precision is key. At Foster and Son, we follow a rigorous process to make sure your new roof works perfectly, shedding water and protecting your house for generations. First, we carefully strip away the old roof covering and thoroughly inspect the roof timbers. Any necessary repairs or reinforcements are carried out at this stage. Then, we lay down a high-performance breathable roofing underlayment – an essential waterproof layer that provides an extra barrier against moisture. This is followed by the expert installation of treated timber battens, spaced perfectly to ensure each clay tile sits correctly and securely. Our skilled roofers then begin the careful process of laying your chosen clay tiles, ensuring each one is correctly positioned and secured with appropriate fixings, following traditional overlapping techniques to prevent any leaks. We pay close attention to critical areas like verges, ridges, and valleys, using the right techniques and materials, whether that’s traditional mortar bedding or modern dry ridge and dry verge systems. Safety on site is always our top priority throughout the entire project.
