Full roof replacements, what it is and when you need it
A full roof replacement means stripping the old covering back, replacing the felt and battens, and re-covering with new or sound reclaimed tiles or slates. You end up with a roof whose waterproof layers are all new, not a patchwork of ages.
It is the right call when the underlay has perished across the roof, battens are soft, tiles are delaminating, or you are spending money on repairs every winter with no end in sight.
It is also the moment to put right anything that was done badly first time round (poor verges, cracked ridge mortar, missing ventilation) because every part of the roof is accessible while the covering is off.
Who this is for
- Homeowners whose roof is losing tiles or leaking in more than one place
- Anyone who has been told a repair is no longer worth doing
- Owners of older properties on their original felt and battens
- Landlords who want one job that ends the call-outs
What's included
- 20-year workmanship guarantee on full roof replacements
- Quality materials specified in your written quote
- Site kept tidy daily and all rubbish removed
- Deposit on larger jobs, balance on completion, stage payments available
When a roof is past repairing, a full strip and re-roof is the honest answer. New felt, new battens, quality tiles or slates, and a 20-year workmanship guarantee on the finished roof.
What happens if it gets left
A failing roof does not fail politely. Water tracks into wall heads and ceilings, insulation compacts and stops working, and rafters and battens quietly rot under the tiles where nobody looks.
Every winter of repair-and-hope adds to the bill without adding a single year to the roof's life. Spend £600 a year for six years and you have bought nothing.
Structural timber is the expensive line on any quote. Catching the roof before the rafters go is the difference between a re-roof and a re-roof plus carpentry.
Common mistakes we get called out to fix
- , Buying on price alone and finding cheap felt and thin battens under expensive-looking tiles
- , Accepting a verbal price with no written specification of materials
- , Not asking what the guarantee actually covers, or getting it only verbally
- , Leaving it one more winter because the leak is 'only small'
How the job runs, step by step
- Step 1
Free inspection
We come out, get eyes on the roof and look at it properly rather than guessing from the pavement. There is no call-out charge for a quotation.
- Step 2
Written specification and fixed price
You get the materials named, the scope written down and one fixed price. Deposit terms, stage payments on larger projects and the balance on completion are all agreed up front.
- Step 3
Strip and inspect the structure
The old covering, felt and battens come off and the timber underneath is inspected. Anything unexpected is shown to you and discussed before it is dealt with, not billed after the fact.
- Step 4
New felt, battens and covering
New breathable underlay and battens go on, then your tiles or slates, with ridges bedded and pointed, verges finished and flashings dressed in properly.
- Step 5
Clean, check and guarantee
Site cleared and all rubbish removed, finished roof photographed, and your 20-year workmanship guarantee issued in writing.
What you actually get
20-year workmanship guarantee
Full roof replacements carry a 20-year guarantee on our workmanship, confirmed in writing.
Every layer new
Felt, battens and covering replaced together, so there is no tired layer left waiting to fail under new tiles.
No more annual repairs
One planned job instead of an open-ended run of call-outs, patches and ceiling repainting.
A site you can live beside
The job is kept tidy every day and all rubbish is removed; that is what our customers keep writing about.
Fixed price, honest extras
The price is set after inspection. If hidden timber damage appears, you see it and agree it before anything is done.
Kerb appeal and saleability
A new roof is one of the first things a buyer and a surveyor look at, and one of the easiest to evidence with photographs and a guarantee.
Full roof replacements in detail
Materials and specification
Concrete interlocking tiles, plain tiles, clay tiles, natural slate and fibre-cement slate all behave differently on pitch, weight and lifespan, and the right choice depends on your roof structure and the look of the street. We specify what suits the property and write it into the quote so you know exactly what is going on.
Underneath the covering, breathable underlay and correctly sized, treated battens do the real waterproofing work. Ridge and hip tiles are bedded and pointed, verges finished, and flashings dressed to walls, chimneys and roof windows.
What happens to the structure
Stripping a roof is the only time anyone sees the rafters. We check for rot, splits and previous bodges, and where timber needs attention we show you the problem in photographs before agreeing the extra work.
Ventilation matters as much as waterproofing. A roof that cannot breathe sweats, and condensation does the same damage as a leak, only slower and more quietly.
Timescales, access and living through it
A typical domestic re-roof runs over several days depending on size, pitch, access and weather. We work in sections so the roof is never left open to the weather overnight, and the site is swept and cleared at the end of each day.
Access equipment is arranged to suit the property and the job. We agree parking, skip or waste arrangements and working hours with you before we start.
Where we work
We cover Hampshire and surrounding areas, including Hook, Basingstoke, Newbury, Southampton, Thatcham, Salisbury, Andover, Winchester, Eastleigh.
Full roof replacements: your questions answered
- How much does a new roof cost in Hampshire?
- It varies with roof size, pitch, covering, access and the condition of the timber underneath. We inspect free of charge and give you one fixed written price with the materials specified.
- What exactly does the 20-year guarantee cover?
- It is a 20-year workmanship guarantee on full roof replacements, issued in writing. Guarantees on other types of work vary by job and materials and are confirmed separately in your quote.
- How long will a full replacement take?
- Most domestic roofs take a number of days rather than weeks. We give you an expected duration with the quote and tell you straight away if weather moves it.
- Do I need to move out?
- No. Work is done from outside; we keep the roof weathertight between sessions, and we clear the site each day so you can use your drive and garden.
- Can I keep my existing tiles?
- Sometimes. If your tiles are sound they can often be set aside and re-laid over new felt and battens, which reduces cost and keeps the look of the house. We tell you at inspection whether they are worth reusing.
- How do I pay, and do you take a deposit?
- Bank transfer or cash. Some jobs need a deposit with the balance due on completion, and on larger projects we can arrange stage payments. It is all written down before anything starts.
- Are you insured?
- Yes, we carry £1 million public liability insurance, and we can confirm the details before work begins.
- Does a quote cost anything?
- No. Inspections and quotations are free and there is no call-out charge for a quotation, whether you go ahead with us or not.
