What we see on Newton roof repairs jobs
The typical Newton roof is a 1930s hipped roof on a semi along Newton Lane, Kingsway or the streets between, and hips are where most of the trouble starts. Every hip and ridge is a long line of mortar-bedded tiles, and after ninety winters that mortar cracks and drops out, leaving hip tiles loose and rattling in the wind. Below that you have clay or concrete tiles that slip when a nib breaks, a bay-window roof with lead flashing that lifts and lets water into the front bedroom, and a chimney stack shared on the party wall where the soakers and flashing have long since perished. The post-war Plas Newton estate is concrete interlocking tile with mortar ridges and the same issues in a simpler form. Roof repairs here are rarely dramatic. We identify the likely cause, agree the scope with you, then re-bed the loose hip or ridge tiles, replace the slipped ones, dress the lead back down and patch what needs patching, and tell you straight if we find anything bigger. Newton is a few minutes from our Chester base, so a storm damage inspection after a windy night is easy to fit in quickly.

Questions
Roof Repairs in Newton — FAQs
Why do the hips on my 1930s semi keep losing mortar?
Hip tiles on the Newton Lane and Kingsway semis were bedded in mortar that is now around ninety years old. Frost, sun and the movement of the roof crack it, and once a section drops out the tiles above it loosen too. We rake out and re-bed the failed sections so the hip is held again, and check the rest while we are there.
Water is coming in above the bay window — is that the roof or the bay?
On these semis it is usually the bay. The small bay roof has its own tiles and a lead flashing where it meets the wall, and when that lead lifts or the mortar fillet cracks, water runs down inside the front bedroom wall. We check the bay flashing and tiles first, and the main roof above it, before agreeing the repair.
Can you match the old tiles on a Newton semi?
For most of the clay and concrete tiles on Newton's 1930s roofs we can source a matching or very close profile, and for the post-war concrete tiles on the Plas Newton estate a match is straightforward. Where an exact match is not available we tell you, and place any near-match on the least visible slope.
Can you inspect the roof after a storm even if nothing is obviously leaking?
Yes. A storm damage inspection and report from £95 covers the tiles, hips, ridge, bay and chimney flashings and the gutters, with photos of anything that has moved. On a Newton hipped roof a slipped tile or loose hip tile is easy to miss from the ground until it lets water in, so it is worth checking.
Our chimney is shared with next door — can you still fix the leak on our side?
Yes. The party-wall stacks on Newton's semis serve both houses, but the flashing and soakers on your slope are yours to repair, and we can sort them without touching the neighbour's side. If the stack itself or the shared pointing is the problem we will say so, as that is worth agreeing with next door.
