02 Anatomy of a new roof

Five layers. No shortcuts.

  • The capping course along the apex — bedded or mechanically fixed so it stays put in high winds.

  • Slate, clay or concrete tiles, or metal — chosen for durability, weather resistance and the character of the house.

  • Treated timber battens set out to the exact gauge of the chosen tile or slate.

  • A breathable underlay: a second line of defence against driven rain that still lets the roof void breathe.

  • We check the structure beneath. Weakened timbers are one of the signs a full replacement is due.

FAQ

Re-roofing, explained.

It depends on the size of the roof, the covering and the weather. We give you a realistic schedule with your written quote.
Usually, yes. The roof is opened in sections and kept weathertight at the end of each day.
Where it matters — for example on a semi or terrace — we discuss matching or complementary options at survey.
We only price after seeing the roof. Your quote is free, written and itemised.
