New Roof Installation

A New Roof,
Done Properly.

Whether you're building an extension or replacing a roof that's finally given up, we install new roofs from the timbers up — properly ventilated, correctly flashed and built to last decades.

What's Involved

Built From
The Timbers Up.

A new roof is only as good as the preparation underneath it. We check the timbers, ventilation and battening before a single tile goes on — because cutting corners here is what causes problems five years later.

Once it's on, you get a roof that keeps water out, breathes properly and shouldn't need anything beyond routine checks for a very long time.

The Process

How A New Roof
Comes Together.

01

Strip & Inspect

We remove the old covering and inspect the timbers, replacing anything that's rotten or undersized.

02

Prep & Ventilate

New battens, breathable underlay and proper ventilation — so the roof can breathe and won't rot from underneath.

03

Cover & Finish

Slate or tile laid, ridges and verges finished, lead flashing fitted, and the whole site cleared.

How Long Does It Take?

A typical house roof takes somewhere between 3 and 10 working days depending on size, pitch, covering and access. Weather plays a part too — we won't lay tiles in heavy rain or high wind because it affects the finished job.

You'll get a realistic timeline in your written quote, and we'll keep you updated each day on where we've got to. Your roof is never left open overnight — we make it watertight at the end of every day.
