Frequently Asked Questions: Roofing

1. How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full renewal? Initially, we conduct a thorough survey. If the damage is localized to a few tiles, a repair is sufficient. However, if the underlying felt has perished or the battening is rotting, a full strip and re-tile is the most cost-effective long-term solution.

2. What is the benefit of a breathable roofing membrane? Specifically, breathable membranes allow moisture from inside your home to escape while preventing rainwater from entering. Consequently, this protects your roof timbers from rot and prevents condensation buildup.

3. Do you handle leadwork on chimneys and valleys? Yes. We are specialists in traditional leadwork. We ensure that all valleys, gables, and chimney flashings are installed to high standards, providing a permanent watertight seal.

4. How long does a full roof replacement take? For a standard semi-detached property in North Somerset, a full roof renewal typically takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on weather conditions and the complexity of the roof shape.

5. Can you match the tiles of my existing roof for an extension? Absolutely. We source local materials, including reclaimed tiles where necessary, to ensure that any new roofing work on an extension matches your original property perfectly.
