Your roof
Has Your Roof Reached The End?
The repairs keep coming. Every winter brings a leak in a new room. Tiles slip more often than they used to. From the loft you can see light or sagging felt. You are starting to wonder if the next repair is worth it.
We will give you a straight answer. A free roof check tells you whether your roof needs replacing or simply fixing. If it is time for a new one, here is what that covers:
- Strip and re-cover - the old slates or tiles, battens and felt removed and a whole new roof laid on your house.
- Natural slate - your slate roof renewed in slate, fixed with new nails or hooks throughout.
- Clay and concrete tiles - plain or interlocking tiles picked to suit your house and the houses beside it.
- Membrane and battens - the hidden layer beneath your tiles, renewed along with the roof.
- Fresh lead - new flashings and valleys fitted with your new covering, not old lead put back.
- Ridges, hips and verges - mechanically fixed on your new roof so they stay put in strong winds.

What to look for
Signs It Is Time For A New Roof
One fault means a repair. Several mean something more. An ageing roof shows its age in more than one way. If two or three of these sound like your house, ask us to take a look.
- A repair every winter - the roofer keeps coming back and your leaks keep moving.
- Slates slipping all over - when the nails rust through, slates let go a few at a time across your whole roof.
- Tiles flaking or crumbling - new tiles will not bed in well among ones that are breaking down.
- A dip between rafters - a wavy roof line points to tired battens or timbers underneath.
- Torn felt in the loft - brittle or ripped underlay means the backup layer on your roof has failed.
- The original roof on an older house - a covering as old as the house has done its job, and we can tell you how much life is left in yours.
Still unsure? Call 01803 446 106 for a free roof check and get a definite answer.
Common questions
New Roof Questions
Faults appearing in several places at once: slipped slates on more than one slope, sagging between rafters, felt crumbling in the loft, or leaks that move around the house. A single fault is a repair. Lots of them together usually means the covering has worn out. Your free roof check will settle it.
That depends on the size and shape of your roof and on the weather. A typical semi or terraced house usually takes days rather than weeks. We will talk you through the timing for your roof when we price it.
Like-for-like replacement does not usually need planning permission, but a full re-roof must meet Building Regulations. Listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, so check with your council if that applies to your home.
Yes, nearly always. The work happens above and outside. Expect some noise, and scaffolding round your house while the roof is done.
Normally the same as the old one, so your home still sits right with the street: slate replaced with slate, tile with tile. If there is a good reason to change, we will explain the choices and what each would cost on your roof.
Yes. With the old covering stripped, insulation can be brought up to current standards as part of the job. Mention it when your roof is being priced.
Stripping and taking away the old covering is part of the re-roof, so you are not left with a heap of old slates in the garden.
