Our main roof repair services:

This abseiling roof repair services specialise in this type of roof repairs and leaking roof repairs, using abseiling – rope access gears and techniques, specially padded roof ladders, and special abseiling gears, which are developed in our 30 years’ experience in the rope access – abseiling industry. These experienced engineers can replace, fix and repair any type of slate roof, from man-made slate / artificial slate to the most expensive and special stone and natural heritage slates. Replacing man-made slate on a pitched roof is tricky sometimes, especially when the slat work on the roof is too old and this old man-made slate is getting to be fragile, or the fixings (copper nails usually) let the slates down. Unfortunately, some older, man-made / artificial slate roof was made with asbestos fibre, which requires special assistance, but our rope access slate roof repair services provide this service as well. This type of asbestos slate, manufactured between 1940’ and 70’ are still can be observed on numerous buildings, but after the 1999 regulations and standards, this type of harmful roof slate revoked from the market completely, and the new type of roof slates do not contain any asbestos fibre. London is a beautiful historic city, with beautiful buildings and detailed roofs, which are the second home of our rope access roof repair team. As the slate industry was a flourishing business and some areas have famous slate mines and they have their own type, colour and brand, using natural slate for roofing purposes is/was widely preferred in the UK and London. Our abseiler slate roof repair team often repairs the probably the most popular “Penrhyn” purple Walsh slate, and the green Westmorland slate, but the grey general-purpose slate and smaller size Spanish slates in various sizes are also widely accepted and used for slate roof applications. Slate is a really good roof coverage, with up to 100 years lifespan, easy application and easy repair, but these types of natural slates hide some hidden issues, as their natural crack in the stone can cause unexpected leaking issues and roofing issues, which requires our rope access slated roof repair services sometimes. Despite the nature and long lifespan of the stone itself, these slates also getting old and worn slowly but surely, getting to be thin and fragile caused by the erosion of the general weather conditions, which generates cracks and other imperfections on the most beautiful roofs too, so the general and regular roof maintenance and occasionally roof cleaning would be highly recommended on all roofs to avoid any possible emergency roof repairs subsequently. Using roof slates as a cladding on sides of dormers and other roof structures is really decorative and also really popular, but repairing these areas, especially carry out any dormer roof repairs (repair of the cheeks) requires special assistance. However, a high performance man-made / artificial slate can be installed as low pitched as 10 – 15 degrees, the general angle for any low pitched roof is 20 – 25 degrees, and a steeper pitched roof can be between 35 – 45 degrees, our team often carries out higher steep pitch slate roof repairs on towers, churches (Westminster Chapel, …etc) and mansard roofs, and absolutely vertical slate claddings on sides and cheeks, which is possible easily, using abseiling – rope access gears and rope access roof repair method.
