Pitched Full Re-Roofs

Slate and Tiled

Renewing your roof has never been easier, technology has advanced massively in the last 50 years from breathable felts to roofing grade treated timber battens. Only the highest quality products make the cut when it comes to our roofs.

Full re-roofs are needed when the felt under the roof covering perishes. To change this the tiles or which ever roof covering is in place needs to be removed to install new breathable felt and battens, at this point we usually recommend replacing the covering as well but this is not always the case.

GRP / Rubber Systems
