How We Re-Roof Your Property

LRH Roofing manages the entire process seamlessly. We combine traditional craft with modern high-performance materials.

01

Safe Scaffolding & Stripping

We set up secure access and carefully strip back all old slates, tiles, battens, and felt. Disposal is handled responsibly.

02

Timber Inspection & Repair

Lewis checks the rafter woodwork for any structural rot, sagging, or woodworm damage. Any compromised timbers are replaced.

03

Membrane & Counter-Battens

We lay high-tensile, breathable underlay to allow moisture escape while keeping water out, followed by pressure-treated slate battens.

04

Slate/Tile & Valleys

New slates or tiles are installed along with fresh code-compliant lead valleys, flashing, ridge pointing, and optional new guttering.

When is it time for a Full Re-Roof?

Continuous repairs on an old roof can end up costing more than a replacement. Consider a re-roof if you notice:

  • Your roof is over 35-40 years old and showing wear.
  • Widespread dampness or water stains on attic timber boards.
  • Frequent leaks in different rooms after storms.
  • Slates are crumbling, slipping, or nails are rotting out ("nail rot").
  • The ridge line is sagging, or structural support beams are warped.

The Benefits of a New Roof

  • 100% Weatherproof Guarantee: Complete peace of mind for decades.
  • Improved Energy Rating: Fresh underlayments block drafts, reducing heating bills.
  • Enhanced Home Value: A brand new roof is a major selling point for potential buyers.
  • Aesthetic Overhaul: Choice of high-quality Welsh/Spanish slates or concrete tiles completely updates your home's appearance.
  • Lower Long-Term Costs: No more paying for recurring repair call-outs.

Re-Roofing FAQ

Answers to common questions regarding roof replacement processes.

How long does a full roof replacement take?
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house, a full re-roof typically takes 4 to 7 working days, depending on weather conditions. We work efficiently to minimise disruption.
Do I need to leave my home during the work?
No, you can stay in your home. The work is external. We keep the building watertight at the end of each day and ensure scaffolding and work areas are left safe.
What materials do you recommend?
We highly recommend natural Welsh or Spanish slate for historic or premium homes due to their longevity. For modern estates, concrete tiles (like Tegral or Redland) offer an excellent, durable, and cost-effective alternative.
What kind of warranty comes with a new roof?
Our re-roof installations come with a comprehensive workmanship guarantee, and manufacturer warranties on tiles/slates range from 30 to 75+ years.
