Professional Roofers in Heighinton Village
Heighinton Village, or Heighington as locals know it, is a hilltop village built around a large green, with St Michael's Church and its Norman tower at its heart. The centre is a conservation area, and many cottages and houses around the green are built of local stone with Welsh slate or clay pantile roofs. These older roofs suffer from failing lime mortar on chimneys, worn lead flashings, slipped slates and nail sickness, where the original fixings rust through. Repairs need matching natural slate or pantiles to satisfy conservation requirements. The village is fairly exposed, so wind soon finds weak verges and ridges. On the edges of the village and towards Newton Aycliffe there are newer houses with concrete tiled roofs, where the usual issues are ageing felt, ridge bedding and timber fascias and soffits.

The importance of repairing minor roof damage is easy to underestimate. A small leak and the damp patch it leaves can grow into a problem that weakens the structure of your Heighinton Village home and leads to a much bigger repair bill.
