Roofers Who Know Rectory Farm
Rectory Farm is one of the earlier post-war estates in Northampton, with building starting in the late 1950s and running through the 1960s. The oldest sections — the streets closest to the original farm boundary — have tiles that are now approaching 65 years old. The nail fixings on these properties have not merely corroded — they have in many cases completely disappeared, leaving tiles resting on battens with no mechanical fixings at all. These roofs are essentially waiting for a storm.
Common Roofing Issues in Rectory Farm
The combination of age, nail corrosion and the open northerly aspect of many Rectory Farm properties makes this one of the highest-risk areas for storm tile loss in Northampton. We attend emergency call-outs here after almost every named storm. Properties where surveys have been deferred repeatedly are now at the point where a full re-roof is almost always better value than section repair — the nail condition is too advanced for partial intervention to hold.
