Roofing Services

 

From upgrading and repairing an existing property to new purchase surveying

 

Your Roof
One of the most important parts of your home or business premises is your roof. Long-term problems such as rotten timbers or other structural damage can occur from an insecure or leaking roof.  A sound roof is fundamental to protecting your property and maintaining its value and is often neglected. 

Roof Repairs - Planned
Most properties need some on-going maintenance from time to time. If you have concerns about your roof we will take a look and assess what needs doing. If minor repairs are needed or more extensive work is required, we will advise you accordingly and give you a detailed breakdown. We can also advise you about which work needs doing urgently and what can be delayed to spread the cost. 

Roof Repairs - Emergency                                                           
We provide a call out service to deal with storm damage or other emergencies. We will put temporary measures in place to protect your property. We can then do a more detailed assessment, to help you with any insurance claims and get your roof fixed.  Making your roof sound should be your first priority - please call us as soon as possible. We would advise you to check your insurance policy, as it may not cover all costs. 

 

Property Purchase
If you are moving house or considering a property purchase, the condition of the roof will be an important consideration. Your surveyor will generally mention this in their report, but it may not cover all the details. We can look at the roof and give you an impartial assessment; together with a detailed quotation for any work.

 

New Build 
If you are involved in a new build, self-build or conversion project we can help. If you are in the early stages but you already have a building contractor we can provide you with a quotation for the roof covering, based on your architect's plans. We can also provide expert advice on the options for materials and construction methods. If you are doing some of the construction work yourself, we can work with you on the specialist work required for the roof covering. If you are already working with a general building contractor, we will work with them and take care of the roofing aspects of the project. 

 

Roof Replacement 
With on-going maintenance, many roofs can remain intact almost indefinitely. However there comes a time when you might need to consider a replacement. There will usually be an undesirable level of dampness within the roof space, which can lead to problems with timbers and rot. There is also the risk that a severe storm may expose any weaknesses overnight and leave you with a major leak to deal with. A new roof is a major investment, but will add value to your property and save you money in the longer term. It makes sense to sort out your roof before spending large amounts of money on internal refurbishment. Most mortgage lenders will be sympathetic to releasing funds for this type of work, as you are protecting the value of your investment. We can usually help you to spread the cost by replacing roof elevations one at a time, though this may cost slightly more and involve additional inconvenience. We prefer to replicate original details especially on period properties and our approach is to maintain the aesthetic qualities of a roof combined with using high specification materials. We will be able to advise the best products for your property, whichever roof covering you require. We will provide you with a detailed assessment and let you consider all the options before committing to the work.
