Hunters Way roof replacement

Full tiled roof replacement for two adjoining semi-detached homes on Hunters Way in York.

A full roof replacement on Hunters Way, York.

This case study records the condition of the original roof, the installation stage and the finished tiled roof across both halves of a semi-detached property. The homeowners had experienced water ingress after the existing roof membrane failed, so JDL Roofing completed a coordinated full roof replacement rather than treating only the visible leak.

Why a surface repair was not the right scope

The water ingress was caused by failure of the membrane beneath the tiles. Renewing the complete roof allowed the covering, underlay, battens and weathering details to be addressed together instead of leaving the failed layer in place.

Both semi-detached roofs renewed together

The two adjoining roofs were stripped and replaced as one coordinated project. This allowed the hips, ridges, eaves and tile courses to be set out consistently across the complete building, giving both homes the same finished appearance.

The roof build-up shown in the photographs

The progress images record the new roofing underlay and timber battens before they were covered with red interlocking tiles. Mechanically fixed hip and ridge tiles complete the exposed roof junctions, while the finished photographs show the uniform result across both properties.

Six years of work on Hunters Way

Before this project, JDL Roofing had already carried out roof repairs and full roof replacements on more than ten properties on Hunters Way over the previous six years. This completed roof adds another documented example of the team’s work in the area.

Questions about this project.

Why was the Hunters Way roof replaced?+

The homeowners were experiencing water ingress because the existing roof membrane had failed. A full replacement renewed the complete roof build-up rather than addressing only the visible symptoms of the leak.

Did JDL Roofing replace both semi-detached roofs?+

Yes. Both adjoining roofs were stripped and renewed together, creating one consistent tiled finish across the complete building.

What materials were used on the new roof?+

The specified work used roofing underlay, timber battens, red interlocking roof tiles and mechanically fixed hip and ridge tiles. The written quotation and guarantee documents confirm the terms that apply to each property.

Does JDL Roofing carry out re-roofing elsewhere in York?+

Yes. JDL Roofing is based in Elvington, York and assesses tiled roof replacement and re-roofing projects across York and wider Yorkshire according to the roof, access, programme and scale of work.
