Broken Slates to a New Slate Roof

One of the jobs here started as a slate roof with cracked, slipped and missing slates beside the chimney, green with moss. It was stripped back to bare battens and re-covered in new slates, with new lead flashing dressed around the chimney stack. Drag the before and after further down to compare the two.

Hipped Roofs, Valleys and Roof Windows

The tiled jobs include a red tiled hipped roof with two roof windows over a semi-detached house, a grey tiled extension roof with a roof window and new black fascias and gutters, and a bungalow re-roofed in grey tiles that you can see from the drone, valleys, hips and roof windows included.

Signs a Roof Needs Replacing

Slipped, cracked or missing slates or tiles in more than one place
A leak that comes back after it has been repaired
Damp patches or daylight showing in the loft
Slates that have gone soft, flaky or started to split with age
A roof line that has started to dip or sag

Useful to Tell Us About a Re-Roof

Whether the roof is slate or tile now, and whether you want to keep the same look
If there is a chimney, a dormer or roof windows on it
Whether the roof is on the house, an extension or a bungalow
