Arched Brick Gable, Dormers and Slate Roof in Romford
A new roof with an arched brick gable and stone surround, timber-framed dormers and natural slate, built from battens to finish.
About this project
This roof combines traditional details: a brick gable with an arched opening and stone surround, two new dormers framed in timber, and natural slates laid around every junction.
This project is in Romford. See also the areas we cover.
What we found
- An arched gable that needed careful flashing where it met the slates
- Two new dormers to frame and weatherproof
- Valleys and abutments where most roof leaks start
From start to finish
What we did
- Roof stripped, membrane laid and battens set out
- Brick gable built with its arched stone surround
- Dormers framed in timber
- Natural slates laid and cut around the gable and dormers
- Lead flashings and finishing details completed
Flashings matter more than slates
Most roof leaks come from junctions, not from the slates. Good leadwork at gables, dormers and valleys is what keeps a roof dry.
