There is a point in every roof’s life where patching becomes more expensive than replacing. Widespread nail sickness on a 1960s Stanmore estate property, or a Victorian Fulflood terrace where the original Welsh slate is 100 years old and the felt has failed — a full re-roof is the correct and most cost-effective option.
We survey your property thoroughly before recommending a replacement. If a targeted repair programme is the better option, we will tell you. Our survey identifies the condition of the felt, battens and structural timbers, not just the tile surface. We include replacement felt and battens in our re-roof quotes as standard, because a new tile on old, failed felt is not a proper job.
