Our preservation-first approach focuses on retaining original materials where possible while delivering a durable, weather-resistant roof that respects the building’s character.


ROOFING ISSUEs


When Does a Roof Need Replacement?

While many traditional roofs can be repaired, there are situations where replacement becomes the most practical and reliable solution. We carry out detailed assessments to determine whether restoration is possible or a complete renewal is required.

Extensive Roof Covering Failure

Replacement may be needed when large areas of slate, tiles, or other coverings have deteriorated beyond repair.

Deteriorated Materials

Natural slate and tiles that have become damaged, weakened, or no longer provide protection may require renewal.

Failed Fixings & Battens

Ageing or damaged fixings and battens can affect the stability and performance of the entire roof system.

Repeated Repair Issues

When ongoing repairs no longer provide reliable protection, a full replacement may offer a better long-term solution.

Structural Timber Damage

Significant deterioration of roof timbers can compromise safety and require a complete roof renewal.

Poor Previous Workmanship

Incorrect installation or previous repairs may affect roof performance and make replacement necessary.

Roof Replacement Is More Than Removal


A roof replacement is not simply removal and renewal—it is a controlled process of reinstating the entire roofing system.

Our work includes:

  • Safe removal of existing roofing materials
  • Salvaging and reusing sound original slate or clay tiles
  • Renewal of battens and fixings using durable materials
  • Inspection and repair of structural timbers where required
  • Installation of new breathable underlay systems where appropriate
  • Full reinstatement of roof coverings in matching materials

We ensure the finished roof reflects the original design and character of the property.



what we do


What We Inspect During Replacement

A successful roof replacement starts with understanding the full condition of the existing system. We inspect both visible and hidden areas to identify any issues before installation begins.

Roof Structure

We check rafters and supporting timbers to ensure the roof structure is stable and suitable for replacement.

Hidden Timber Damage

We identify decay, rot, or weakness caused by previous leaks and long-term moisture exposure.

Drainage Details

We review gutters, valleys, and water flow routes to ensure effective rainwater management.

Previous Repairs

We examine older repairs to uncover hidden problems that may affect the new roof.

Roof Junctions

We inspect chimneys, valleys, and abutments to ensure vulnerable areas are properly addressed.

Preserving Traditional Roof Character


On heritage properties, roof replacement must maintain architectural consistency.

We focus on:

  • Matching natural slate and clay tiles
  • Maintaining original rooflines and proportions
  • Reinstating traditional coursing and detailing
  • Hand-dressed leadwork for valleys, chimneys, and junctions
  • Blending reclaimed materials with new where possible

The goal is a roof that looks unchanged from the outside while being structurally renewed beneath the surface.
