Local issues
Common roof and high-level problems in Oakham
Older stone properties
Stone buildings in Oakham often have tall chimneys and steep roofs. Pointing, lead flashing and ridge bedding need attention as they age.
Exposure around Rutland Water
Open countryside around Oakham and Rutland Water means homes can take wind from several directions, loosening tiles, ridges and chimney pots over time.
Rural access
Cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions often have uneven or soft ground around them. Ground conditions must be suitable, and every job is assessed before setting up.
Trees and gutters
Mature trees around many Rutland properties fill gutters and shade roofs, encouraging moss. Regular gutter cleaning prevents overflows soaking stonework.
