How It Works

Free survey

We assess the existing roof, timbers and structure and discuss materials and options. As a result, you can choose with the full picture in front of you.

Written quote

A detailed, written quote covering materials, access and timescale. As a result, there's nothing left to guess at before you decide.

Installation

We strip the old roof, fit new membrane, battens, tiles or slate and all flashings. Because we renew every layer, the whole roof starts from a clean base.

Sign-off

Final checks, a clean site and confirmation of any material guarantees in writing. As a result, you have proof of exactly what we fitted.

Re-Roofing FAQs

When should I replace my roof rather than repair it? +

If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, has widespread slipped or broken tiles, is sagging, or keeps leaking in different places despite repairs, a re-roof is usually the more cost-effective long-term choice. We'll assess it at survey and only recommend a full replacement when it genuinely makes sense.

How long does a new roof last? +

A properly installed slate or tile roof can last 50 years or more, with concrete tiles typically 40–60 years and natural slate often longer. Lifespan depends on the materials, the quality of installation and ongoing maintenance such as clearing gutters and moss.

How long does it take to install a new roof? +

Most domestic re-roofs take somewhere between a few days and around two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, the weather and any structural or timber work needed. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof or re-roof? +

Like-for-like re-roofing is usually permitted development and doesn't need planning permission, but changing the roof materially, altering the height or shape, or working on a listed building or in a conservation area can. We'll flag anything you need to check before we start.

A full re-roof is a bigger decision than a repair. As a result, we treat the survey seriously, checking the timbers, felt and ventilation underneath, not just the tiles you can see from the ground. Most like-for-like re-roofing is permitted development, so most of our jobs don't need planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the exception.

Material choice matters as much as timing. Slate costs more per square metre than concrete tile, but tends to outlast it. A well-specified concrete tile roof still gives decades of reliable service at a lower upfront cost. We'll talk you through the trade-offs for your roof, not push whichever suits us on the day.
