What a roof replacement involves.

A roof replacement means taking the old covering off down to the rafters and building it back up: new breathable membrane, new treated battens, and new or reclaimed slates or tiles, with the ridge, hips, valleys and flashing done at the same time. Where timbers are rotten we show you before we replace them.

We plan every re-roof from the drone survey. It shows the size and pitch of each slope, the condition of the chimney, the state of the valleys and anything unusual about access. That means the written quote reflects your roof, and the price you agree is the price you pay unless you choose to add something.

Scaffolding goes up first and is included in the quote. Most of the work happens outside, so you can stay at home throughout. The roof is made watertight at the end of each working day, and the site is kept tidy for you and your neighbours.

Choosing materials.

On a period home, natural slate or a matching clay tile usually keeps the look of the street, and in a conservation area it may be required. On many 20th-century homes a good concrete tile is a sensible, hard-wearing choice. We talk you through the options with samples and photos of how each looks on similar houses, and the quote sets out exactly what you are getting.

A re-roof is also the right moment to deal with everything else at roof level: fascias, soffits and gutters, the chimney and its leadwork, loft ventilation and roof windows. If there is spray foam on the underside of the roof, it should come out before the new roof goes on. Doing it all with one scaffold saves you money later.

Your guarantee and paperwork.

Every roof replacement comes with our 10-year written guarantee. You also get before and after photos of every stage, which are useful if you sell the house or need to show a surveyor what was done.

How long does a roof replacement take?

It depends on the size of the roof, the material and the weather. A straightforward roof on a semi takes far less time than a large slate roof with dormers and chimneys. Your written quote sets out the expected time on site before any work starts, and we keep you updated if weather changes the plan.

Do I need to move out during a re-roof?

No. Almost all of the work happens outside the house. We make the roof watertight at the end of every working day, so the house stays dry even with the old covering off. Expect some noise and dust in the loft, and we will tell you if anything stored up there needs moving first.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

Usually not if you replace like for like. You may need permission if you change the look of the roof, live in a conservation area, or the house is listed. Building regulations can apply when most of a roof is replaced. We will flag anything that needs checking with your council before work starts.

Is a new roof guaranteed?

Yes. Every roof replacement comes with our 10-year written guarantee, set out in your paperwork at the end of the job. You also get before and after photos of each stage of the work. Keep them safe, because they are useful if you sell the house or a surveyor asks what was done.
