01

The job

A slate roof on an Oxford terrace, with two dormers, chimneys and a valley running between them. The job notes record new felt, new battens and a dry ridge system. Our own team carried out the work, with no subcontracting.

02

What the photos show

The finished slopes, with the new valley lined between the dormers, and a roofer on the ladder beside a dormer while the work was under way. Junctions like these, where dormers, chimneys and a valley meet, are where older terrace roofs most often let water in.

Why terrace slate roofs reach this point

Victorian slate roofs across Oxford were fixed with iron nails, and after a century or more those nails rust through. Slates start to slide one at a time, then several at once, and patch repairs stop keeping up. The junctions fail first: the valley between dormers carries water from two slopes, and the lead and mortar at chimneys and dormer cheeks crack and lift.

A re-roof deals with all of it at once. New felt and battens give the slates a sound, dry base, the valley is lined new, and the dry ridge system replaces mortar that would otherwise crack again in a few winters. Read more about slate roofs and our work for Oxford roofers.

Signs your roof needs similar work

  • Slates sliding out of line on more than one slope
  • Damp on the walls of a dormer room
  • Water staining near a chimney breast
  • Moss and debris packed into the valley
