Direct Communication

There are a few key signs to look out for. If you're experiencing persistent leaks in multiple areas, can see daylight through your loft, or notice a significant number of cracked, slipped, or crumbling tiles, a re-roof is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. A roof that is sagging or has reached the end of its natural lifespan (typically 50-60 years for tiles, longer for slate) is also a prime candidate for replacement. We can provide a free, honest assessment.

A full re-roof involves stripping off all the old tiles or slates, the timber battens, and the old felt. We then thoroughly inspect the main roof timbers (rafters) and carry out any necessary repairs. After that, we install a new breathable membrane, new treated battens, and then your chosen new tiles or slates. The process also includes fitting new leadwork, verges, and ridge systems to ensure the entire roof is weatherproof and secure.

The cost of a re-roofing project depends on several factors: the size and complexity of your roof, the materials you choose (e.g., concrete tiles are more affordable than natural slate), and ease of access. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation after a free site survey, so you know exactly what the cost will be with no surprises.

A new roof from Foster and Son is an investment designed to last for many decades. A new concrete tile roof typically has a lifespan of around 60 years, while a new natural slate roof can last for 100 years or more. We only use high-quality materials from trusted suppliers to ensure maximum longevity for your home.

This depends on your property's style, your budget, and your personal preference. Tiles (concrete or clay) are versatile, durable, and come in a wide range of colours and profiles to suit any home. Slate offers a premium, natural aesthetic with unparalleled longevity, and is often required for homes in conservation areas or on listed buildings. We can show you samples and advise on the best option for your property.

No, in almost all cases you can stay in your home. Our professional team works efficiently and tidily to keep disruption to an absolute minimum. We ensure your property is watertight and secure at the end of every working day.

Absolutely. We have complete confidence in the quality of our work and the materials we use. All our full roof replacements come with a comprehensive guarantee covering both the materials and our workmanship, giving you complete peace of mind.
