Our Services

New Roofs & Re-Roofing

Complete re-roofs in slate or tile, built properly from the timbers up and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

How we can help

When a roof reaches the end of its life, patching it becomes a false economy. We strip back to the timbers, replace anything that's rotten, and rebuild with new membrane, battens and your choice of slate or tile: a roof that's genuinely built to last.

A lot of the housing stock across Dumfries & Galloway is older than the roof currently on it, which means once we strip the covering off we're often the first people to properly inspect the timbers in decades. We'll always show you what we find before replacing anything, and we rebuild with a modern breathable membrane rather than the old bitumen felt that trapped moisture and shortened the life of everything underneath it.

What’s covered

A re-roof is a strip back to the bare timbers and a rebuild from there. Nothing gets covered over, because what's hidden underneath is usually the reason the roof failed in the first place.

Strip and inspect

The old covering, battens and felt come off completely. Once it's off we can finally see the timbers properly, often for the first time in decades, and anything rotten or sagging gets replaced. We show you what we've found and agree the cost with you before carrying on, so there's no surprise bill once the roof is already open.

Building it back up

New breathable membrane instead of the old bitumen felt that trapped moisture and shortened the life of everything under it, new treated battens, then your choice of slate or tile fixed to the right spec for how exposed your property is. Ridges, verges and valleys finished properly, and ventilation put in so the loft can breathe.

The rest of the roofline

While the scaffolding is up, it's the sensible time to deal with guttering, fascias and soffits if they're tired. Doing it now costs a fraction of bringing access back a year later for the same work.

The whole job is covered by our workmanship guarantee, and you'll get a realistic timescale before we start rather than an optimistic one.

Signs you need this

A roof rarely fails overnight. These are the signs that patching has stopped being the sensible option and it's time to think about the whole thing:

  • The roof is 40+ years old and has already had several repairs
  • A sagging ridge line or roof shape that looks uneven from the street
  • Widespread cracked, slipped or missing slates across the whole roof, not just one area
  • Rotten timber visible in the loft, especially around the eaves
  • Old bitumen felt underlay crumbling or visibly perished
  • You're planning a loft conversion or extension and need the roof brought up to standard

Most domestic re-roofs take one to two weeks depending on size, roof complexity and weather. We'll give you a realistic timeframe before work starts, not an optimistic one.
