Roofing in Northcote
Northcote is terrace and cottage country: Victorian and Edwardian stock on narrow blocks, a lot of it slate or early terracotta, and pitches steep enough that the work is slower and the access harder than the roof area suggests.
What we see here
The faults that come up most in Northcote.
- Slate roofs where previous repairs used the wrong fixings and have failed
- Parapet and party-wall flashings on terraces, a frequent leak source
- Box gutters behind parapets that were never sized for the catchment
- Steep pitch requiring harness work throughout, which affects the quote
- No side access on many streets, so material handling runs through the house or over the roof
