New Roofs & Roof Replacement

When to Replace Rather Than Repair

Patching makes sense while the problem is local: a few slipped slates, a cracked ridge tile, a tired flashing. Once the underlay behind the tiles has perished or the nails holding them have rusted through, every repair just moves the leak somewhere else, and the money is better spent on the whole roof.

Slates or tiles slipping in several places
Old bitumen felt torn or sagging between rafters
Daylight visible from the attic
Nail sickness on an older slate roof
Leaks returning after earlier repairs
Soft, rotten battens
Porous tiles holding heavy moss

Our Services

Our New Roof Options

Pick the covering that suits your house, your budget and the look of the street, and we build the whole roof around it.

Tiled Roofs

Underlay, Battens & Ventilation

The covering you see is only the top layer. What sits underneath decides how long the roof lasts, so this is where we take our time.

Breathable Underlay

Older roofs often have heavy bitumen felt, or nothing at all. We fit a modern vapour-permeable membrane that sheds any water getting past the tiles while letting moisture from the house escape, which cuts the risk of condensation in the attic.

Treated, Graded Battens

Battens are what every tile and slate hangs from, so we use treated, graded timber and set it out to the exact gauge for your covering. Straight, evenly spaced battens are why a good roof looks flat and true from the street.

Roof Ventilation

Air has to move through a roof space to keep the timbers dry. We add eaves vents, tile or slate vents and a ventilated ridge where needed, balanced against the insulation in your attic so warm, damp air has a way out.

Flashings & Abutments

Where the roof meets a chimney, a party wall or a dormer, we renew the lead flashings and soakers rather than reusing tired metal or smearing the joint over with mortar or sealant.

Tiles or Slate: Making the Choice

Both make a good roof. The right one depends on your house, the pitch and what you want to spend, and we explain the options honestly before anything is ordered.

Look & Character

Slate gives a thin, flat, dark line that suits Victorian terraces and Georgian houses. Concrete and clay tiles are chunkier, come in more profiles and shades, and match most estates built from the 1960s on.

Roof Pitch

Every tile and slate has a minimum pitch it can be laid at. On a shallow extension roof, interlocking tiles often work where slate would need a much bigger headlap to stay watertight.

Weight on the Structure

Concrete tiles weigh noticeably more than slate. If you are swapping slate for tiles, or the other way round, we check that the rafters and purlins can carry the new load before we order anything.

Budget & Upkeep

Concrete tiles are usually the most economical option. Natural slate costs more to buy and lay but asks very little of you once it is on.

FAQs

FAQs About Our Roof Replacement Service

Answers to the questions we hear most when homeowners are weighing up a full re-roof.

What is the difference between a re-roof and a repair?

A repair fixes one specific fault, such as a broken slate or a failed flashing, and leaves the rest of the roof as it is. A re-roof replaces everything above the rafters: covering, battens, underlay and usually the leadwork, so the whole roof starts again from the same point.

Can you reuse my existing slates?

Sometimes. Good natural slate can outlast two sets of nails, so if most of yours are sound we can strip them carefully, sort them and relay them on new battens and membrane, topping up with matching reclaimed slate. Cracked, flaking or thin slates are not worth the labour of reusing.

What happens if it rains during the work?

We watch the forecast closely and only strip what we can close up the same day. Each evening the open area is weather-proofed with membrane and battens or temporary sheeting, so rain does not reach your ceilings even before the new covering is back on.

Should I replace fascias and gutters at the same time?

Not always, but it is worth checking while the scaffolding is up. If your fascias are rotting or your gutters sag, renewing them in uPVC at the same time saves paying for access twice and gives the new roof a clean, solid edge to finish onto.

Will my home insurance pay for a new roof?

Insurers generally pay for sudden damage, such as a storm lifting part of the roof, but not for a roof that has simply worn out with age. If you are making a claim, we can provide photos and a written report of the damage to support it.

How long does a new roof take?

A straightforward house roof usually takes a week or two once the scaffolding is up. Size, weather and the amount of timber that needs replacing all play a part, and bigger or more complicated roofs take longer. Your quote includes a realistic timeline, and we keep you posted if rain holds things up.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

Replacing a house roof like for like is usually treated as exempted development in Ireland, so permission is not normally needed. Changing the height, shape or covering, or working on a protected structure or in an architectural conservation area, is different, and we will advise you to check with your council first.

How It Works

Our Roof Replacement Process

A re-roof is planned around keeping your house dry at every stage, and we explain each step before it begins.

Step 01

Survey & Plan

We inspect the covering, the attic and the timbers, then agree with you the materials, the start date and where the scaffolding and skip will go.

Step 02

Strip & Timber Checks

The old covering comes off one section at a time, never more than we can weather-proof before dark. Any soft, split or sagging timber is repaired before new materials go on.

Step 03

Rebuilding the Layers

Underlay is laid and lapped, battens fixed to gauge, and tiles or slates laid course by course with the right nails and clips for how much wind your roof catches.

Step 04
