Supporting Roofing Services
All worthwhile roofing companies know that to install and maintain high-quality roofs confidently to a client base built up over many years, the team must not only excel in a select few services but also a wide range of supporting services to provide comprehensive care.
At Original Roofing & Construction, we provide a full range of associated services that support the long-term condition of flat roof and pitched roof systems, from chimney structure repairs through to fascia, soffit, and gutter maintenance. Each element plays a role in keeping water management, ventilation, and structural integrity working as intended.
Here is an overview of the services offered by our team that are not mentioned on our main service pages.
Repointing and Rendering Chimneys
Over time, chimney mortar joints can deteriorate due to exposure to wind, rain, and frost. Repointing involves carefully removing failed mortar and replacing it with new material to restore stability and prevent water ingress. Where additional protection is required, rendering can be applied to create a weather-resistant external layer that helps reduce further erosion while improving overall durability. These works are essential in maintaining the structural integrity of chimneys on pitched roofs.
Flaunching And Cowl Installation With Chimney Protection
Flaunching sits at the top of the chimney stack and secures chimney pots in place while directing water away from the structure. When damaged, it can allow water penetration and instability. We repair or replace flaunching using durable materials designed for long-term performance. Cowl installations are also commonly recommended, helping to improve airflow, reduce rain entry, and prevent debris or bird nesting within the chimney flue, supporting safer and more efficient operation.
Chimney Removal and Rebuilding
In some cases, chimneys may no longer be structurally sound or required. Chimney removal must be carried out carefully to ensure the surrounding pitched roof remains weatherproof and stable. Alternatively, partial or full chimney rebuilds may be necessary where the structure can be preserved. Both approaches require attention to surrounding tiles, leadwork, and roof junctions to ensure a seamless finish that maintains protection against the elements.
Leadwork and Weatherproofing
Leadwork is a critical component of pitched roof and chimney protection, particularly around junctions where different materials meet. It is commonly used in flashings, valleys, and abutments to prevent water ingress. Damaged or aged leadwork can lead to leaks and internal damp issues if not addressed promptly. We repair and replace lead installations using appropriate methods to ensure a secure, long-lasting, weatherproof seal across the roof structure.
If you are unsure about the condition of your flat roof, it is always worth having it checked before small issues develop further. Original Roofing & Construction provides clear assessments, explains what we find in straightforward terms, and offers practical solutions based on what is actually needed.
Fascia Soffit and Gutter Installations
Fascia, soffit, and gutter systems play an important role in managing water runoff from pitched roofs. PVCu is commonly used due to its durability and low maintenance requirements, although other materials such as aluminium can also be installed depending on the property’s needs. Regular cleaning and maintenance help prevent blockages, overflow, and potential water damage to roof edges and external walls. Proper installation ensures effective drainage and supports the overall performance of the roofing system.
