[Get Free Fixed-Price Quote](/contact) [0800 043 1108](tel:+448000431108) 10-year insurance-backed guarantee £5M public liability Most quotes booked within 48 hours 20+ Years experience TrustMark Government-endorsed 9.5 / 10 Fair Trades rated £5M Public liability 10-year HomePro guarantee Overview ## Re-Roofing — what, who, when & why ### What it is A full re-roof strips your existing roof back to the rafters, replaces the felt or breathable membrane, timber battens and coverings (slate, tile, GRP or single-ply), and renews the leadwork, flashings and fixings so the whole system performs as one. ### Who it's for Homeowners with roofs at end of life (typically 60–100 years for slate, 40–60 for concrete tile, 15–25 for older felt flat roofs), landlords protecting rental assets, and buyers acting on a surveyor's report before completion. ### When you need it When you see multiple slipped or missing coverings, sagging ridges, sunlight through the loft, damp staining on upstairs ceilings, or when a chartered surveyor has flagged the roof in a Level 2 or Level 3 report. ### Why professional matters A re-roof is a structural investment, not a cosmetic one. Cutting corners on membrane, batten spacing or lead detailing shortens the life of the whole roof by decades. Our installations follow BS 5534 and carry a 10-year HomePro insurance-backed guarantee — protection that survives even if a contractor stops trading. The cost of waiting ## What happens if you leave it ### Damage escalation - Water tracking down rafters rots structural timber long before it stains a ceiling — by the time you see damp indoors, the repair bill has doubled. - Failed underlay lets wind-driven rain into the loft, ruining insulation and encouraging mould that affects respiratory health. - Slipped slates on gable ends become falling slates in the next storm — a serious liability on a public footpath or driveway. - Sagging ridges signal rafter or purlin movement; leave it and you move from a re-roof to a re-roof plus structural carpentry. ### Common mistakes - Accepting a quote that doesn't itemise membrane, battens, leadwork and fixings — the cheapest quotes hide the shortcuts. - Reusing old lead flashings to save a few hundred pounds, then paying thousands when the chimney leaks two winters later. - Choosing a contractor without insurance-backed guarantees, leaving no recourse if the business folds. Our process ## How we deliver the work Step 1 ### Inspection Free on-site survey including loft inspection where safe, photos of every elevation and a written condition report. Step 2 ### Fixed-price quote Itemised written quote covering scaffold, strip-off, membrane, battens, coverings, leadwork, ridge system, disposal and VAT — no day-rate surprises. Step 3 ### Scheduling & scaffold Firm start date confirmed in writing. Scaffold and skip on-site 24–48 hours before works begin so the crew is productive from day one. Step 4 ### Strip & make-safe Roof stripped in manageable sections, never leaving open areas overnight. Temporary weathering used if forecast changes. Step 5 ### Installation Breathable membrane, treated battens, coverings, ridge, verges, valleys and code-4/5 lead flashings installed to BS 5534 by our directly-employed team. Step 6 ### Sign-off & guarantee Final inspection with you, scaffold struck, site left clean, and your 10-year HomePro insurance-backed guarantee registered. Benefits ## What you get from booking RTC ### One trip, decades of protection A properly specified re-roof lasts 50+ years for natural slate and 40+ for concrete tile — you stop paying for repairs every winter. ### Warmer, cheaper to run Modern breathable membranes and correctly ventilated eaves reduce heat loss and condensation, cutting heating bills. ### Adds resale value A new roof with a transferable 10-year insurance-backed guarantee is one of the few upgrades that pays back on survey and sale price. ### Guaranteed workmanship TrustMark-registered, HomePro-backed, Fair Trades rated 9.5/10 — three independent quality marks, not marketing claims. ### £5M insured, on paper £5,000,000 public liability and £5,000,000 employers' liability with Covéa Insurance — certificates provided on request. ### Finance available Flexible finance via iDeal 4 Finance on approved credit, with stage payments on larger projects. The detail ## Materials, methods & specifications ### Pitched re-roof — natural slate Welsh and Spanish natural slates fixed twice-nailed on treated 25×50 battens over a breathable underlay. Copper or stainless nails at exposed elevations. Code 4 lead soakers, code 5 stepped flashings to chimneys, dry ridge and dry verge systems eliminate mortar failure. Typical life expectancy 80–100 years. ### Pitched re-roof — concrete & clay tile Marley, Redland and Sandtoft ranges installed on treated battens with mechanical clips to perimeter and every fifth course inland, every third course on the coast (Meols, Hoylake, West Kirby) where wind uplift is higher. Dry-fix ridge and verge as standard. ### Flat re-roof options GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and torch-on high-performance felt — chosen for span, foot traffic, roof-lantern presence and detailing complexity. Warm-roof upgrades where the existing deck allows. Covered in detail on the Flat Roofing and GRP Roofing pages. ### Structural checks Before quoting, we inspect rafter dimensions, purlin sag, chimney condition and eaves ventilation. Anything requiring a structural engineer or building control notification is flagged in writing before work starts. ### Residential vs commercial For commercial premises we work outside opening hours where required, provide RAMS documentation, and coordinate directly with facilities managers, letting agents and chartered surveyors.
