Roofing questions
Before your roofing project
Clear answers to questions we are often asked. For advice about your particular property, contact our team.
The answer depends on the age and overall condition of the covering, the extent of damage and the state of the structure beneath. An isolated fault can often be repaired; repeated leaks or widespread material failure may make replacement better value. We inspect before recommending.
Yes. Contact us with the property address and a description of the issue. We may ask for photographs before arranging a visit so we can understand the urgency and likely scope.
Yes. Call +44 7537 186805. We prioritise safety and limiting further damage. Severe weather can affect when permanent work is safe, but temporary protection may be possible.
Both can perform well when correctly installed. GRP offers a seamless, crisp finish; modern felt is a proven multi-layer system and can be very adaptable. Roof size, detailing, use and budget influence the best choice.
Often, yes. We assess why they failed, check nearby coverings and try to match replacements. If fixings or underlay have failed more widely, we will explain the implications.
They do. Poor drainage can saturate walls and roof edges, while inadequate ventilation may allow condensation to damage insulation and timber. Both form part of a complete roof assessment.
Minor repairs may be completed in a visit, while full replacements take longer and depend on size, complexity and weather. We discuss the expected programme before work starts and keep you informed.
Keep access and the area around the property clear where possible, move fragile items from loft spaces and let us know about parking restrictions, pets or access concerns.
