A newly tiled roof seen from above, with the scaffold still up

When a roof is past patching, a re-roof stops you chasing leaks. We strip the old covering, check the timbers and replace any joists or rafters that need it, then lay new membrane, battens and tiles or slates, finishing with the ridge, hips and verges.

We do domestic and commercial work, from a porch or a bay to the whole house, and we apply the same standards to every job, no matter how big or small.

Questions

Common questions

What happens during a re-roof?

We strip the old covering, check the timbers and replace any joists or rafters that need it, then lay new membrane, battens and tiles or slates, finishing with the ridge, hips and verges.

Is there a guarantee on a new roof?

Yes. New roofs come with a 10-year guarantee. Ask us about it when we come out to quote.

Can you replace a see-through conservatory roof with a solid one?

Yes. We've replaced see-through conservatory roofs with solid tiled roofs: there's a before and after photo of one on this page.

Can you do the fascias and guttering at the same time?

Yes. New fascias, soffits and guttering often make sense alongside a re-roof, while the scaffold is up.
