Roofing Questions, Answered

The questions customers ask us most, answered plainly by John and the team.

Quotes and Prices

Do you offer free roof inspections and quotations?

Yes. We come and take a proper look at the roof and give you a free, no-obligation price.

How much does a roof repair typically cost?

A normal repair runs from about £400 up to £2,500, depending on what the roof needs. If most of the roof is sound and only one area has failed, it sits at the lower end. More on roof repairs.

Do you replace guttering, fascias and soffits?

Yes, in high-quality uPVC, usually within one to two days, with replacements normally starting from £1,000. See fascias and soffits.

Will scaffolding be required for my roofing work?

It depends on the job and the access. We'll tell you upfront if scaffolding is needed as part of the quote.

The Work

How do I know whether my roof needs repairing or completely replacing?

Brittle tiles, worn felt underneath the tiles and ridges starting to deteriorate are the usual signs a roof needs replacing rather than repairing. We'll tell you honestly which one yours needs.

How long does a full roof replacement take?

From three days upwards, depending on the size of the roof. A full re-roof with Redland 49 tiles and a classic cement ridge has taken us a week. See roof replacement.

Can you repair a flat roof, or does it need replacing?

It depends on the condition of the covering. If it's old and letting water in, replacement is usually the better option - we fit torch-on felt, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber systems.

What is the best material for a new flat roof?

We fit torch-on felt, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber, and we'll recommend the right one for your roof rather than pushing one material for every job. More on flat roofing.

Can you replace broken or slipped roof tiles?

Yes - from a single slipped tile to sourcing a matching vintage tile for an older roof.

Do you carry out chimney repairs and repointing?

Yes, as part of our general brickwork service: repointing, replacing damaged bricks, chimney repairs and masonry maintenance. See general brickwork.

Will roof cleaning damage my roof tiles?

Not the way we do it. We manually scrape the roof rather than pressure-wash it, which can cause premature wear, then apply a biocide treatment to help prevent moss coming back. See roof cleaning.

Insurance and Warranty

Do you offer guarantees on your roofing work?

Yes. Each job comes with its own individual warranty, as there are many factors to this. Ask us about the warranty for your job when we quote.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold public liability insurance with £1,000,000 of cover.

Call-Outs and Areas

How quickly can you attend to a leaking roof?

We aim to get to a leak quickly - several customers have had us out the same day a leak was reported. Read what customers say.

What areas do you cover around Sevenoaks, Bromley, Tonbridge and surrounding locations?

Sevenoaks, Bromley, Tonbridge, Orpington, Westerham, Biggin Hill, West Wickham and Croydon, plus the villages around each. See the areas we cover for the full list.
