Roofers for Brackley, old town and new
Brackley is the market town in the south of West Northamptonshire, and Mascote Renovation & Property Solutions Ltd are family run roofers who work here. The A43 bypasses the town and links the M40 with Towcester, Northampton and the M1, and Silverstone is close by. The older part of Brackley is a mix of stone and brick, while developments such as Radstone Fields have added modern houses on the edge of the town. We look after roofs on both, and on the older houses the chimneys need particular care.
Chimney Repairs in Brackley
An older house often has more than one chimney stack, and each stands clear of the roof with nothing to shelter it. Over the years rain washes the mortar from the joints, frost splits the pots and loosens the mortar bed they sit in, and the lead where the stack meets the roof lifts or splits. Once that happens, water finds its way into the roof space and then into the rooms below.
Our chimney repairs in Brackley cover:
- Chimney repointing
- Repairs to the stack, or a full rebuild
- New pots and cowls
- Lead flashing, repaired or replaced
- Back gutters and lead soakers
- Weatherproofing and sealing
- Chimney removal
We inspect the stack first and tell you whether repointing will do or whether part of it has to come down and be rebuilt. We use access equipment suited to the height and position of the chimney, and our own team does the work.
Leadwork matters as much as the masonry. Flashing seals the joint between the stack and the slates or tiles, soakers sit beneath them at the sides, and a back gutter carries water round the top of the stack. We fit new lead and repair old lead in all three places, and in valleys and at other roof junctions.
Roof Repairs in Brackley
Away from the chimney, our roof repairs deal with slipped and broken slates and tiles, loose ridge tiles, leaks and storm damage, whether the house is in the old town or on a newer development. A free roof inspection comes first, so you know what the repair involves before you agree to it. We also repair and replace fascias, soffits and guttering.
New Roofs in Brackley
When repairs have stopped making sense, we install a new roof. The new covering can be slate or tile, in clay or in concrete, and we renew the ridge tiles and the lead while the roof is open. The old roof comes off, its replacement is built to the standard that current building regulations ask for, and we clear the site before we leave. We guarantee every new roof in Brackley in full, and ask for no deposit upfront.
Flat roofing in Brackley is part of our work as well. We lay and repair flat roofs on garages, extensions and dormers, for homes and commercial buildings, using felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. As builders we take on property refurbishment too, from a single room to a full home renovation, along with home extensions and loft conversions.
