Despite challenging weather conditions, EMS City Roofing successfully completed a comprehensive re-roofing project in Colchester city centre. The roof was upgraded using high-quality natural Spanish slate, known for its durability and aesthetic appeal. A new breathable felt was installed to improve moisture control beneath the slates, while 50mm x 25mm treated battens were fitted throughout to provide a robust framework.

To enhance ventilation and reduce condensation, an over-fascia vent and dry ridge system were incorporated. The front elevation received new guttering, including bonding gutters between adjoining properties to ensure seamless water management. Fire-stop insulation was added to help prevent the spread of fire, increasing the overall safety of the property.

Additional improvements included the installation of a new hopper and downpipe, as well as expert lead work on the chimney to provide long-term protection against the elements. This project represents a solid upgrade that significantly improves the roof's safety, ventilation, and long-term performance.
