Storm-slipped slates and a wet ceiling on a Carlisle terrace
Victorian mid-terrace
- Winter storm callout
- Written diagnosis
- Fully insured work
24/7
Emergency roofing response across Cumbria and the Borders, answered day and night.
The problem
Overnight gusts lifted a run of slates above the rear bedroom. Water tracked down the party wall and stained the ceiling within hours.
What we did
The solution
Same-night attendance, temporary weatherproofing over the exposed area, then a return visit to re-slate with matched reclaimed Welsh slate and renew the perished nails and battens in the affected zone.
Result
The outcome
Roof watertight the same night, permanent repair completed within the week, and a written note of the wider nail-fatigue risk so the owner could plan ahead rather than react again.
