Lightwater Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Fascias, soffits and gutters are known as the 'roofline' and help keep your property protected from adverse weather conditions. They are usually made of uPVC and run alongside the edge of your building. Their purpose is to channel unwanted rainwater away from your property, reducing the possibility of damp and property damage.
We can install, repair and upgrade your roofline systems to ensure your property stays well protected for years to come.

Read some reviews from satisfied customers:
Really quick to respond to our message and provided the best quote of all the companies we tried. The guys were polite and happy to answer our constant questions!
We’re really happy with the slate roof and will definitely recommend them to friends and family.
We were expecting our roof repair work to cost more than it actually did in the end. The Roof Specialist quoted a very resonable price considering the amount of work the old roof required. The new tiles were a perfect match and they even cleaned up fully after they finished. Great job!

FAQs on Roofers in Lightwater
Slate is hard wearing and durable, but it can crack under pressure. That’s why professionals like The Roof Specialist use hook ladders, jacks and planks on slate roofing, allowing them to walk on the roof without putting any weight on it.
It will depend on several factors such as the extent of the damage and the materials it is constructed from. We will always repair when it is an option, but sometimes a full replacement is the only solution. We offer free no obligation roof surveys and quotes so whatever the situation, we can advise you on the best course of action.
Leaks are often the first sign that something is wrong. Make sure you have your roof and gutters inspected twice a year. Look for cracked, warped or missing shingles or tiles or excessive surface granules collecting in the gutter – these can be visible signs that your roof has a problem. Indoors you should look out for bubbled or peeling wallpaper, cracked paint, discoloured plasterboard or anything out of the norm. remember the longer you leave a problem the more expensive the solution can become.
Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of your roof, the type of slate used, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. While slate is initially more expensive, it can save you money in the long run as it is very hard wearing and durable. Contact us for a free site survey and quote now.
Slate roofs are designed to last 100 years or more and when regularly inspected and properly maintained can easily reach this age. To reach this milestone, broken, cracked or missing slates should be replaced promptly by an experienced roofer to prevent serious damage.
A concrete or clay tile roof can reasonably be expected to outlast the building it protects. With that in mind, most manufacturers offer warranties of 50 years or more.
You’d be surprised. When you factor in cost per year of use, tile roofs are the same or less expensive than several other roofing materials. Both concrete and clay tile roofs outlast most other roof types and many clay roofing tiles have remained functional and beautiful for a very long time.
Cracked or broken tiles are a common occurrence. When they do occur, we recommend that they are removed and replaced as soon as possible to minimise damage to the sub-structure. Replacing damaged tiles is a skilled job, you need professional roofers like The Roof Specialist to ensure your safety and that the job is done properly so that no further damage is done while replacing the tiles.
Clay and concrete tiles require very little maintenance and rarely needs any treatment. If necessary, professional roof cleaning can be done to remove moss or other dirt and debris as and when required.
Costs will vary depending on the size of your roof, the type of tile used, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. No two tiled roofing jobs are the same. Call us and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and a no obligation quote.
Only in very exceptional circumstances such as when a roof is very structurally unsafe. Otherwise, you can stay at home.
Installed properly, slate roofs require little maintenance and will last 60 to 125 years or longer depending on the type of slate used, roof configuration and the geographical location of the property. Some slate roofs have been known to last over 200 years.
Clay and concrete roof tiles are non-combustible and have a Class A fire rating. But a tile roof doesn’t make a home fireproof. However, tile roofing is safer than shingles, wood shake or metal because it allows air circulation under the tile, which reduces heat transfer to the loft during a fire.
We’d recommend replacing any areas of the roof that are particularly bad. Otherwise, we would treat it using safe products.
Tile roofs are very good insulators. The combined effect of roof tiles, decking and air space between the tiles allows for better air circulation and reduces direct heat transfer by up to 50%.
