Gutter Repair Dublin

by
Dublin City Roofing Roofers Dublin

The number one fault with gutters is they collect  leaves and debris. If there are trees near your house. Make sure that there are not any branches that are getting near your property or gutters. This will cause leaves to drop in your gutters even discoloring your roof, but also the branch could knock up against your gutter and knock break them. You should trim back any branches that get near your roof. This will cause you problems during a storm especially for your roof .

If you have already trimmed back your branches as much as possible and you still get leaf problems, consider putting in gutter guards. The cheapest way to go is to use a gutter screen. You can install these on the tops of your gutters by just following the instructions. This is a great and inexpensive way to keep objects such as leaves out of your gutters.

Slate and Tile Repair get the Battons

by
Latting and felting Roofs in Dublin

Tile/Slate your roof.

Roof tiles are typically fired clay or coloured concrete, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Here we deal with the key points of tiling/slating any roof, which is setting it up. If you want to know how to replace all types of roof tile, including hanging tiles, read more below…

How many roof tiles you need

The best way for domestic properties has always been simple, make an educated guess. By that I mean write down the Width and Height of each individual face of the roof on a piece of paper. Then when you add them up you are going to be left with a metreage or square footage figure. You can also measure the width from ground level, I find it’s quite easy to work in metres from my minds eye, but then again I’ve done a lot of it. Alternatively get a nice strong tape measure, get up some ladders and measure it.

Now you have a square metre or square foot figure, ring up your local hardware supplies merchant and they will work out how many tiles you require for your roof. Usually the hardware employees are very good to tell you what and how much you want.

Roofing laths get the battens

Roof lath or roofing battens, two different names for the same thing. Strips of timber often treated with a wood preservatives. These are nailed into the roofing joists or roof trusses beneath and provide support for the roof tiles or slates, fixings can then be made into the roofing lath or batten if required.

The most common sizes are…

Commonly called tile or slating laths or battens.

  • 25mm x 38mm (1″ x 11/2 “) Commonly called tiling lath or tiling batten, often used on rafter spans of 450mm or less.
  • 25 or 30mm x 50mm (1 – 11/4  ” x 2″) Mostly used in modern tiled roofs, often used on rafter spans of 600mm or less.

Roofing battens – Common sizes of tile lath, slate lath or tile batten are 2″ x 1″.

How to space roof tiles and space roof battens or laths

The most common mistake made is that the tiling takes place at the bottom of the roof from the scaffold at gutter height, no thought is then given to whether the tiles will be correctly spaced by the time you get to the top of the roof. When laying roof tiles it’s important just to spend a little time planning tile spacings first.

Once the old roof has been stripped all the way to the bottom, the rafters or roof trusses will be fully exposed. Make sure the rafters are clear of any stray nails or splinters, tha they are ready to take the felt or breathable roofing membrane and not rip or puncture it. One full width of roofing felt will been fitted.

How to lay roofing felt or roofing membrane

Start at the start on one edge of the roof and fix with two or three nails then roll out the felt keeping it taught but with a very slight hint of sag, this will ensure any water that does end up on the felt will run between the rafters and end up in the gutter. Make sure about 30 to 40mm of felt hangs over the fascia and into the gutter. On a adverage construction, if there is a cavity wall, make sure you bridge the gap over any cavity with the felt.

 

The second level of defense the felt.

  • Joining the felt – Overlap any vertical joins by 100mm about 4 inches onto a rafter or truss
  • Overlapping felt – When laying the next layer above the pervious overlap, make sure the cover is about 4 – 6inches
  • On a Hip –  Make sure the felt or membranes overlap goes around onto the next face of the roof about 4 – 6inches
  • On an upstand – Where the roof joins or abuts a wall turn the felt or membrane up the face of the wall for 4 inches
  • On the verge – Cut the felt or membrane at the outside edge of the last joist
  • At the ridge board (the point of the roof) – Overlap 150mm (6″) over the top of the roof onto the other elevation.

Reasons for Roof Leaks

One of the most common problems associated with roofing are leaks, so we at Átha Cliath Roofing and Roof Repairs thought we would highlight some of the most common issues for a leaking roof so the next time it happens to you, you can determine the root problem yourself ahead of calling upon a roofing repair expert like Átha Cliath Roofers Dublin.

The Roof Underlay maybe in question

Roof tiles/slates are used to to keep out any rain, there is a risk that strong winds can push rain through gaps or underneath the tiles on your roof. The importance of underlay used to carry this water to the guttering. Time and continued exposure to the rain, the underlay can begin to rot, not function effectively and finally fail, which will cause a roof to leak.

Loose, Damaged or Slipped Tiles/Slates

Slipped tiles or slates can cause large amounts of rainwater to land on the underlay thus putting it under more pressure that it can deal with. This causes pools of water that build up, where a tile or slate has slipped, a leak is more likely to happen.

Damaged Lead flashing and Roofing Valleys

The most common cause of a leaks is through the incorrect installation or damage to the lead flashing at valleys on the roof. Any damage can grow and quickly after a large amount of water and this will result in a leak. Usually visible around the chimney breast or discoloration or dampness in your ceilings

Condensation

One of the silent enemies of your home is condensation a poorly ventilated roof can lead to condensation forming on the under the underlay or tiles. This can eventually lead to droplets of water leaking through your ceiling, leaving dark patches this is a direct cause of a leaking roof.

These are the 5 most common causes of a leaking roof that atha cliath roofers deal with regularly.
