Roof Replacement

Full re-roofs in tile, slate and modern coverings, built to outlast the last one.

A roof replacement, or re-roof, is the removal of the existing roof covering and the fitting of a complete new system, including new underlay, battens and tiles or slates.

When repairs are becoming frequent, tiles are failing across the roof or the underlay has perished, a full replacement is usually the more cost-effective choice. A new roof restores weather protection, improves energy efficiency and adds value to the property.

We strip the old covering, inspect and repair the timbers, then rebuild the roof with new breathable membrane, battens and your chosen tiles or slates, finished with fresh ridge and leadwork.

What's included

  • Full strip of the old covering and safe waste removal
  • Inspection and repair of roof timbers where needed
  • New breathable underlay and treated battens
  • New tiles or slates in your chosen style and colour
  • New ridge, hip and verge detailing
  • New lead flashing to chimneys and abutments
  • Roof ventilation and, where included, new guttering
