Roof Decking and Plyboard Repairs
Roof Decking and Plyboard Repairs to Restore Roof Strength and Stop Leaks
At DB Roofing and Building Maintenance, we offer professional roof decking and plyboard repairs across Whitley Bay and the surrounding areas. If your roof has sagged, suffered water damage, or needs a fresh start before re-covering, we repair and replace roof decking to create a solid foundation — all backed by our trusted 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Why Roof Decking Repairs Matter
Your roof decking — usually made from timber boards or structural ply — is the base layer that supports your roofing felt, tiles, or membrane. If water gets in through damaged coverings or flashing, the decking underneath can begin to rot, swell, or weaken.
This can lead to sagging areas, soft spots underfoot, and long-term structural issues if left untreated. We strip back the affected area, remove damaged boards, and install new, treated decking to ensure your roof covering sits safely and securely.
Our Roof Decking and Plyboard Repair Services Include:
- Removal and replacement of rotting or swollen decking boards
- Repairs to sagging or weakened roof sections
- Installation of new plyboard sheets for flat or pitched roofs
- Timber treatment to prevent future decay or insect damage
- Full reboarding before felt, EPDM, or membrane installation
- Inspection and reinforcement of roof joists if needed
- Lead flashing and underlay integration during reboarding
- Safe removal of old materials and full site clean-up
- Advice on ventilation and roofline improvements
We use high-quality structural-grade plywood or OSB, installed with care and attention to detail to meet modern roofing standards.
