The service
What Re-Roofing Means
Re-roofing replaces the whole roof covering: the old tiles or slates come off, the felt and battens underneath are renewed, and a new covering goes on. Where needed, ridges, hips, verges, valleys and flashings are renewed at the same time so every part of the roof starts its life together.
It's for homeowners whose roof has reached the end of its life (repeated leaks, widespread slipped or porous tiles, sagging lines, perished felt), and for anyone extending or renovating who wants the roof to match the work below it. Supplied five-star testimonials include work on terraced houses, garages, sheds and a double-storey extension.
You need a new roof when repairs have stopped being good value. Repeated leaks may be a reason to assess whether repairs or replacement are appropriate.
Professional help matters because a re-roof is only as good as what's under the tiles. Correct felt laps, batten gauge, fixings and detailing at abutments are important to roof performance. The required work depends on the survey.
The risk
The Cost of Putting Off a Worn-Out Roof
A worn roof can be vulnerable to leaks and further weather damage.
Repair bills that never stop
Repeated repairs can add up. A survey helps assess the appropriate option.
Structural rot
Years of minor leaks soften rafters and joists, adding carpentry to the eventual re-roof.
Interior damage
Ceilings, insulation, decoration and belongings are the first casualties of a roof that's given up.
Sale or mortgage problems
A surveyor's report flagging the roof can stall a sale or reduce the offer.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Overlaying problems with temporary repairs year after year.
- Choosing a quote that doesn't say whether felt and battens are being replaced.
- Not asking what guarantee comes with the work.
- Leaving fascias, soffits and guttering untouched when they're due too; doing them together saves on access.

In detail
New Roof Options
Every re-roof is specified after the survey. These are the main choices.
Tile roofs
Concrete and clay tiles in plain or interlocking profiles, chosen to suit the house, the pitch and any local character.
Slate roofs
Natural slate for period properties and for homeowners who want a long-lasting, traditional finish.
Breathable membranes and battens
New underlay and treated battens at the correct gauge are the foundation of the new roof.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridge and hip tiles bedded or fixed securely, with verges finished neatly so wind can't get underneath.
Extensions, garages and sheds
New roofs on extensions, including tying a new roof into an existing one, garages, sheds and outbuildings.
Combined roofline work
Fascias, soffits and guttering can be replaced at the same time, so the whole roof edge is new.
New Roofs & Re-Roofing near you
Based in Great Easton, we carry out new roofs & re-roofing for homeowners across Essex, North London and Hertfordshire, including:
Roofs across the region face the same mix of wind-driven rain, cold snaps and summer heat, but the housing stock varies a lot, from clay-tiled cottages around Great Dunmow and Saffron Walden to slate-roofed Victorian terraces in Walthamstow and Enfield, and post-war homes with concrete tiles and flat-roofed extensions in Chelmsford, Braintree and Romford. Knowing which roofs are common where helps diagnose problems faster and specify repairs that match.
