Look out for key warning signs like multiple leaks, visible daylight in your loft, a sagging roofline, or widespread cracked and missing tiles. During our free survey, we'll give you an honest assessment. If a targeted repair can solve the problem effectively, we'll always recommend that first. A full replacement is usually for roofs that are at the end of their natural life or have extensive damage.

The timeframe for a new roof project depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the materials used, and the weather. On average, a new roof on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house can take between 5 to 8 days, from stripping the old roof to the final clean-up. We will always provide you with a clear project timeline in our detailed quotation.

Natural slate is a premium, natural stone that offers exceptional longevity (often over 100 years) and a classic, smart appearance. It's heavier and requires specialist skills to install. Concrete or clay tiles are manufactured, come in a very wide range of colours and profiles, and are generally more cost-effective. Both are excellent choices, and the best option often comes down to your property's style, your budget, and personal preference.

In most cases, replacing your roof with similar materials does not require planning permission as it falls under 'permitted development'. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, or if you are significantly altering the roof's height or shape (like with a flat-to-pitched conversion), you will likely need permission. We can offer advice on this and guide you through the process if required.

Absolutely. We have complete confidence in our skills and the quality materials we use. All of our labour on new roof installations is fully guaranteed, giving you long-term peace of mind. The specific materials we use, such as Firestone EPDM or Cure It GRP, also come with their own manufacturer's warranties.
