New Roofs & Re-Roofing

When a roof is past repair, a properly installed new roof is one of the best investments you can make in a home, keeping it warm, dry and valued for decades.

A re-roof strips the old covering back, renews the battens and breathable membrane, and lays a new slate or tile covering with fresh ridge, flashings and rainwater goods. Done well, it should outlast most of the other work a house ever needs.

We work to current building standards, keep the site tidy and protected, and leave you with a roof that looks right for the property and the street. We will walk you through the options and materials before any work starts so you know exactly what you are getting.

FAQs

Common roofing questions

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most. Have another? Just get in touch.

In the short term a repair is almost always cheaper, and if a roof is basically sound a good repair is the sensible choice. Replacement starts to make more sense when a roof is failing in several places at once, when the materials are at the end of their life, or when you are paying for repeat repairs year after year. We will give you an honest view either way, rather than selling you a new roof you do not need.

It depends entirely on the fault, the access and the materials. A single slipped slate is a modest job; tracing a hidden leak, renewing flashings or working at height with scaffold costs more. The only fair way to price a repair is to look at it, which is why our quotes are free and in writing, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

The cost of re-roofing a typical three-bedroom house varies a great deal with the size and pitch of the roof, the covering you choose, whether battens and membrane need renewing, and the access and scaffold needed. Rather than quote a figure that could be well out, we would rather measure your roof and give you a proper quote for your property.

Often, yes. Converting a flat roof, for example over an extension or garage, to a pitched roof can improve how it looks and sheds water, and can be very long lasting. It is a bigger job than re-covering the flat roof and may need building control approval, so it is worth talking through the options and costs of both before you decide.

As a rule you should use a roofer who works safely and carries their own insurance, and then responsibility for their safety sits with them, not you. Reputable roofers use the right access and scaffold and work to safe systems. We are always happy to talk through how we will access and work on your roof before a job starts.
