A new roof starts with the whole structure.
Replacing a roof is a significant piece of work. The tiles or slates are the part you see, but the layers beneath them, the ventilation and the connections around chimneys and gutters all need to work together. We help you understand the proposed roof as a complete system before you choose the finish.
You may be planning a replacement for an ageing roof, adding a new extension or following up concerns raised during a property purchase. Tell us what prompted the enquiry and whether you have drawings, survey comments or a history of repairs. That gives us a useful starting point for assessing the roof and preparing your written quotation.
Choosing tiles, slate and the finishing details.
Appearance matters, but the roof pitch, supporting structure and product specification also influence which covering is suitable. We discuss those constraints alongside your preferred colour and style.
Plan the work around the way you use your home.
Before work starts, we discuss access for scaffolding, space for materials and the removal of the existing covering. Please mention conservatories, narrow side passages, shared driveways, solar panels or equipment fixed to the roof. These details can change the access arrangements and the trades that need coordinating.
The programme also needs to account for weather, temporary protection and any occupied rooms beneath the roof. If stripping the covering reveals hidden damage, the findings and proposed additional work need to be discussed before the scope changes. Internal decoration, structural alterations and unrelated repairs should be identified separately rather than assumed to be part of a reroof.

your quotation covers.
A simple roof with two accessible slopes needs a different scope from one with several valleys, dormers and chimney junctions. Area alone does not tell the full story. The covering, roof shape, access and condition beneath the existing tiles all influence the price.
We aim to make those differences clear in the written quotation. Ask us to separate optional work from the essential roof replacement, particularly if you are also considering new guttering or chimney repairs. Comparing the same specification is more useful than comparing headline prices for different amounts of work.

Tell us about the roof
Start with your contact details, postcode and the work you have in mind. You do not need to diagnose a problem before getting in touch.
Assess the proposed work
We’ll discuss the property and arrange a visit where needed. Access, materials and the condition of the existing roof help define the scope.
Review & agree the details
Read the written quotation and ask about anything that is unclear. The work, arrangements and any agreed changes should be confirmed before proceeding.
Arranging new roofing in Barkham.
We cover Barkham and nearby areas from our Reading base. Send the full property postcode so we can confirm coverage and discuss the appropriate next step for your address.
Tell us whether the work concerns the main house, an extension or an outbuilding, and whether it is occupied. Drawings and property survey comments are helpful if you already have them; you do not need to commission documents just to make an enquiry.
Access is specific to each property. Please mention shared drives, limited parking, neighbouring buildings or an extension beneath the roof. These details help us plan an assessment and allow for the right access in your quotation.

New Roofing:
before you decide.
These answers are a starting point. The right approach depends on your property and the findings of an assessment.
Ask us about your roof →Can part of the roof be replaced?
Sometimes. The remaining covering, the junction between old and new sections and the condition of the supporting layers need assessing. A partial replacement should have a clearly defined scope so you know which areas remain untouched.
Can I choose a different colour or material?
We can discuss alternatives, subject to suitability for the roof and any property restrictions. Let us know about listed status, conservation considerations or conditions you already know about, so these can be checked before a specification is agreed.
Will I need to move out while the roof is replaced?
That depends on the work and the condition of the property. Many projects can be planned around an occupied home, but access, noise, protection and any structural work need discussing before a start date is agreed.
Is new insulation included?
Only where it forms part of the agreed specification. Tell us about existing loft or roof insulation and how the space is used. Any required changes and responsibility for the relevant approvals should be clarified when planning the work.
How long will the new roof take?
The programme depends on size, complexity, material availability, access and weather. We discuss a realistic sequence once the scope is understood, including any other trades or equipment that need coordinating.
What happens to the old tiles and other waste?
Removal and disposal arrangements should be stated in the quotation. If you want suitable materials retained for another purpose, raise this before work begins so storage and handling can be agreed.
