How long does a new roof last?

A properly fitted new roof lasts a long time. Concrete and clay tiles typically give 40 to 60 years or more, and natural slate can last well over a century. The real lifespan depends on the felt, battens and flashings underneath, and on good ventilation, as much as on the tiles themselves.

Do I need to replace the whole roof or just part of it?

Not always. If the covering is sound but a few areas have failed, a repair can add years at a fraction of the cost. A full replacement makes sense once the felt, battens or flashings are failing across the roof. An honest survey will tell you which is the better value for your roof.

Will I need scaffolding for a roof replacement?

Yes. A full roof replacement needs proper scaffolding so the work can be done safely and to a high standard. It usually goes up a day or two before the roofers start and comes down once the job is finished and checked. The cost of scaffolding is included in the written quote.

When a roof is past patching, a full replacement is the honest answer. We strip the old covering back, put right anything underneath, and re-cover with quality tiles or slates so you are not thinking about the roof again for a very long time.

A roof replacement is a big job, so we treat it like one. Before anything comes off we walk you through what we have found, what we propose and why, and what it will cost, in writing, with no surprises added halfway through.

Most pitched roofs we re-cover are finished in a few days once we start, weather allowing. We keep you informed throughout, protect the areas we are working over, and make sure the site is cleared to your satisfaction before we leave.
