Roofers Who Know Lumbertubs
Lumbertubs forms part of the same large post-war residential expansion as Blackthorn and Thorplands — all three estates were developed through the 1970s to the same basic housing design with the same roofing specification. The three estates effectively share the same roofing problem at the same point in their lifecycle. On Lumbertubs, the slightly more sheltered position in relation to the main south-westerly wind track means storm damage is marginally less frequent than on the more exposed Blackthorn streets — but nail sickness from corrosion is equally advanced.
Common Roofing Issues in Lumbertubs
We survey properties across Lumbertubs regularly as the estate reaches the age where mortgage valuers routinely flag the roof. The nail sickness pattern is consistent: front slopes in better condition than rear (less weather exposure), north-facing rear slopes worst affected. Early intervention on the worst sections prevents the emergency storm call-outs that are the most costly outcome of delayed action.
