New Roofs & Re-Roofs in Ollerton
Specifying a new roof properly in Ollerton means thinking about more than tiles alone. Insulation, breathable membranes, ridge ventilation and gutter sizing all have to suit sheltered to the east by Sherwood Forest but very open from the west, so leading-edge tiles on west-facing slopes take a beating and the post-war terraces along Whinney Lane, cottage-style properties in Old Ollerton found around Sherwood Forest, the Major Oak and Rufford Abbey country park. Every decision goes in writing before any work starts.
Local considerations for new roofs & re-roofs in Ollerton
- Matching new ridge, verge and abutment detail to neighbouring properties in Boughton, Edwinstowe.
- Upgrading loft insulation to current standards while the slope is stripped on a Ollerton property.
- Sourcing tiles in batches large enough to avoid colour-banding on the larger detached homes near Sherwood Forest, the Major Oak and Rufford Abbey country park.
- Scaffolding arrangements suited to the access constraints of an ex-mining town on the edge of Sherwood Forest with terraced ex-colliery housing in New Ollerton, an older village core at Old Ollerton and large modern estates pushing toward Boughton.
