Types of Roof Replacements

When Do You Need a Roof Replacement?

While many roofing issues can be repaired, there comes a point when a complete replacement is the most cost-effective and sensible option. Consider a roof replacement if your roof exhibits any of these signs:

• Your roof is over 30 years old and showing signs of wear
• Multiple areas require repairs across the roof surface
• Extensive water damage or leaking in multiple locations
• Large sections of missing, cracked, or damaged tiles or slates
• Sagging roof deck or structural concerns
• Daylight visible through the roof boards from the loft
• Significant moss growth and deterioration
• Previous repairs are failing or no longer holding
• You're experiencing increased energy bills due to poor insulation

If you're unsure whether you need a repair or replacement, we offer free roof inspections and will provide honest, professional advice on the best course of action for your property and budget.

Our Roof Replacement Process

We follow a comprehensive process to ensure your roof replacement is completed to the highest standards:

1. Initial Survey & Consultation - We conduct a thorough inspection of your existing roof, discuss your requirements, and provide expert recommendations on the best roofing materials and solutions for your property.

2. Detailed Quote - You'll receive a comprehensive, itemized quote with no hidden costs, outlining exactly what work will be carried out and the materials that will be used.

3. Project Planning - We plan the work schedule, arrange necessary materials, and coordinate scaffolding if required. We'll keep you informed throughout the planning stage.

4. Old Roof Removal - We carefully strip away your existing roof covering, dispose of old materials responsibly, and prepare the roof deck for the new installation.

5. Roof Deck Inspection & Repair - We thoroughly inspect the roof structure, replacing any damaged timber, improving ventilation if needed, and ensuring a solid foundation for your new roof.

6. Underlayment Installation - We install high-quality roofing felt or breathable membrane to provide an additional layer of weather protection beneath your new roof covering.

7. New Roof Installation - Our skilled roofers install your new roof using quality materials and proven techniques, ensuring proper alignment, secure fixing, and weathertight performance.

8. Finishing Details - We complete all finishing touches including ridge tiles, valleys, verges, flashings, and ventilation, ensuring every detail is perfect.

9. Clean-Up & Final Inspection - We thoroughly clean the site, remove all waste materials, and conduct a final inspection to ensure you're completely satisfied with the work.
