Project Overview

Northern Heritage Roofing was appointed to carry out a full roof replacement on a bungalow located in the historic coastal village of Bamburgh, Northumberland. The property featured a distinctive front-facing peak, and the existing roof had begun to show signs of age and weather damage. To upgrade both durability and appearance, the client opted for a new concrete Double Roman tile roof, providing a classic profile with modern performance.

Scope of Work

• Structural inspection and minor repairs to roof timbers where needed
• Installation of breathable underlay and treated timber battens
• Supply and fitting of new concrete Double Roman roof tiles
• Detailed tiling around the front peak feature for a clean finish
• Installation of dry ridge and verge systems
• Replacement of leadwork around abutments and chimney
• Final inspection and site clean up

Materials Used

• Concrete Double Roman roof tiles
• Breathable felt membrane
• Treated timber battens
• Dry ridge and dry verge systems
• Code 4 lead flashing
• Stainless steel fixings

Challenges & Solutions

The front-facing peak required careful detailing to ensure both symmetry and weatherproofing. Our experienced team ensured that the tiles were cut and aligned with precision, maintaining the architectural appeal of the bungalow while achieving a watertight seal at all junctions.

Outcome

The completed roof has significantly improved the aesthetic and structural integrity of the bungalow. The new concrete Double Roman tiles give the home a traditional yet refreshed appearance, while the modern roofing system provides excellent durability and low maintenance.
