Full Roof Replacement in Reading
Sometimes patching isn't the answer. When a roof has had its time — felt worn through, tiles past their best, more repairs than roof — we strip it back and start again. Done once, done properly.
When a new roof makes sense
- You're patching the same spots year after year
- The roofline has started to dip or sag
- Tiles slip in every storm — nail fatigue
- The felt has perished and the battens are rotten
- You're staying put and want a roof you don't have to think about
A new roof is a big job and a big decision. We'll tell you straight if yours still has years in it — we'd rather talk ourselves out of a job than sell you a roof you don't need.
How we re-roof
- Full strip to the rafters — old tiles, battens and felt off
- New breathable membrane and treated battens
- New tiles or slates, matched to the house
- New leadwork — valleys, ridges and flashings
- Scaffold, skip and a cleared site at the end
Tile or slate
Most Reading roofs are clay or concrete tile. If your house was built with slate, we re-roof in slate — a Victorian house simply looks wrong in anything else. We match what's there, not whatever's easiest to get hold of.
