Slate re-roof
Hipped Bungalow Re-Roof in Slate
A hipped bungalow roof stripped and re-covered in new slates. The hips were finished with a dry-fixed ridge system, the chimney was flashed in with lead, and new black guttering was fitted along the eaves.
What We Did
- New slates across every slope of the hipped roof
- Dry-fixed hip and ridge system, with no mortar to crack or wash out
- New lead flashing around the brick chimney
- New black guttering along the eaves
- Neat junction with the adjoining flat roof
The roof
A hipped bungalow roof with a brick chimney, meeting a flat roof section at the back. Hipped roofs slope on every side, so there are more hips and edges to finish than on a simple gable roof.
Dry-fixed hips
The hips were finished with a dry-fix system, which clips the hip tiles in place mechanically instead of bedding them in mortar. It stands up well to wind and weather and needs less maintenance over the years.
Chimney and edges
The slates were cut in around the chimney and flashed with lead. New guttering was fitted along the eaves so rainwater drains away cleanly from the new roof.
