Roof Replacement FAQs

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most standard domestic roof replacements are completed within 3 to 5 working days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. We’ll give you a clear timeline before starting.
Do I need to move out while the work is being done?
No, in most cases you can stay in your home while we carry out the work. Our team works externally and we keep disruption to a minimum.
What types of roofing materials do you offer?
We install a range of roofing options, including natural slate, concrete tiles, clay tiles, and flat roofing systems. We’ll help you choose what’s best for your property and budget.
Is planning permission required for a new roof?
Generally, no. Roof replacements typically fall under permitted development unless you live in a listed building or conservation area. If permission is needed, we’ll guide you through it.
What if you find problems with the roof structure underneath?
We always inspect the timber structure during the replacement process. If we find issues, we’ll provide photos and a clear explanation, along with a fair price to carry out any necessary repairs before proceeding.
