A new roof without disconnected decisions
Structure comes first
We consider weight, support and roof shape before the covering is fitted.
Water has a planned route
Falls, outlets and roofline details are treated as part of the main roof.
Junctions get attention
We plan around chimneys, valleys and rooflights where leaks often begin.
A complete roof planned from the structure up
A new roof installation may be needed for a new structure, a major alteration or an existing roof that can no longer be kept sound at a sensible scope. We start by looking at the building, roof shape and intended finish rather than choosing the covering in isolation. Pitched and flat roofs place different demands on the supporting structure, drainage and weatherproofing. Material weight, ventilation, insulation junctions and rainwater routes also matter. For properties in Ruislip, we define these connected details before installation so the roof covering works with the structure below and the roofline around it.
A clear sequence from survey to final checks
We begin with a survey and an agreed specification. Where needed, we remove an old covering or prepare the new structure, then make the roof ready for its weatherproof layers. We fit the chosen system before completing edges, valleys, ridges, outlets and other junctions. Rooflights, chimneys and awkward changes in level need careful attention because small details often carry a large share of the weather. Size, shape, access and structural condition all affect the job. Our wider building capability helps us coordinate areas where roofing and masonry or other external elements meet.
Frequently asked questions
When is a complete new roof the sensible option?
We consider a complete roof where the building is new, major alterations change the roof, or the existing structure and covering cannot be retained economically. A survey helps us separate full installation from work that can reasonably preserve sound parts.
What choices affect the scope of a new roof?
Roof shape, size, access, covering material and structural condition all affect the work. We also consider ventilation, insulation edges, drainage, valleys, chimneys and rooflights so the specification covers the whole weatherproof system.
Can connected building work be included?
We can assess suitable building tasks where masonry, substrates or exterior elements meet the roof. Coordinating these areas can put the work in the right order and avoid leaving an adjoining defect untreated.
