Expert Slate Roof Repairs in Crowthorne
High class roofing provides specialist care for traditional and modern slate roofs throughout Crowthorne. Led by Jimmy Frankham, our team offers professional diagnostics and repair services for property owners dealing with water ingress or aged roofing materials. Whether your home is a characterful Victorian period property or a contemporary build featuring natural slate, we understand the specific technical requirements needed to keep your roof secure against the unpredictable Thames Valley weather.
Identifying Nail Sickness and Slipped Slates
A frequent issue we see in older Crowthorne homes is known as nail sickness. Over many decades, the original galvanised or copper nails holding the slates in place gradually corrode and fail. This often leads to individual slates slipping out of position, which can leave your roof timbers vulnerable to moisture damage. We carefully inspect your roof to identify these loose or missing elements and replace them with high-quality matching Welsh or Spanish slate to maintain the original look and integrity of your property.

01256 639416Comprehensive Leadwork and Valley Gutters
A roof is only as strong as its weakest point, which is frequently found at the junctions where lead flashings and valley gutters meet the slates. We provide expert leadwork repairs, including the replacement of perished or cracked lead flashings that protect your chimney stacks and abutments. If you are experiencing persistent leaks, it is often due to the breakdown of this critical leadwork. Our team ensures that all lead is correctly dressed and secured to prevent future water ingress.

01256 639416Maintaining Ridge Tiles and Chimney Stacks
Beyond the slates themselves, the stability of your roof relies on the ridge tiles and chimney stacks. High winds in the Berkshire area can loosen traditional mortar bedding, leaving ridge tiles prone to displacement. We offer professional ridge tile re-bedding services to lock your roofline down firmly. Furthermore, we address crumbling mortar and damaged brickwork on chimney stacks to stop frost-thaw cycles from causing structural deterioration to your flue or internal brickwork.
