How We Re-Roof Your Property
LRH Roofing manages the entire process seamlessly. We combine traditional craft with modern high-performance materials.
Safe Scaffolding & Stripping
We set up secure access and carefully strip back all old slates, tiles, battens, and felt. Disposal is handled responsibly.
Timber Inspection & Repair
Lewis checks the rafter woodwork for any structural rot, sagging, or woodworm damage. Any compromised timbers are replaced.
Membrane & Counter-Battens
We lay high-tensile, breathable underlay to allow moisture escape while keeping water out, followed by pressure-treated slate battens.
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.
