While flashing is a metalwork task, the wooden roof deck (sheathing) around the chimney is often the first thing to rot from a persistent leak. Our carpenters expertly assess and repair or replace this damaged structural wood. We ensure the new decking provides a solid, level base for our roofing team to install new, watertight flashing, addressing the root cause of the leak for a lasting repair.

Damaged underlayment usually means water has reached your roof deck. Our carpenters carefully remove compromised sections of the wooden decking (plywood or OSB), inspect the roof rafters for any water damage, and install new, code-compliant sheathing. This crucial step creates a strong, dry foundation before new underlayment and shingles are installed, preventing future rot and structural issues.

A roof is only as strong as the structure beneath it. In Dumfries, where heavy rain and wind are common, proper roof framing and ventilation are essential. Our carpenters ensure your roof has the correct pitch, sturdy rafters, and adequate airflow. This prevents sagging, reduces ice dam risk, and mitigates moisture buildup that can lead to underlayment failure and leaks, protecting your investment long-term.
