If your roof is leaking when it rains, get in touch with our team. It is possible that the leak is being caused by some loose or broken tiles and will just require a quick repair. A leaky roof can be indicative of a larger problem, but the only way to be certain is to have a professional look at it.
If you’re renewing your roof with a like-for-like replacement system, then you will never need planning permission. If you’re looking to make changes permission might be required. We can take care of everything for you if this is the case.
Provided you’re not in a conservation area, the choice for your new roof’s material will be entirely yours. We’ll work with you to identify the best type of tiles or slates to cover your roof. This will ensure it delivers the protection you need and looks amazing.
Contrary to popular belief, the distinction is not that one is natural and the other artificial. There are natural and man-made options available for both tiles and slates. Tiles are typically more cost-effective. Slates are often larger and have a flatter profile, creating a sleek and stylish look. We’ve found as a rule of thumb that our clients in rural areas prefer tiles for their roofs, and those in urban areas prefer slate. We’re always willing to lend our expertise to help you make the right choice for you.
We can, but usually only do so if it is completely necessary. When renewing your roof, we will inspect the timbers after the existing tiles have been removed. If they show signs of rot or damage, we will recommend that they be replaced. This is all handled in-house by our team of experts.
Flat roofs are not completely flat. We angle them ever so slightly and overlap the pieces of felt covering in such a way that allows water to run off the roof. This angle is imperceptible to the naked eye so the look of your roof will still be preserved.
