What happens to rotten timber found during a re-roof?

We inspect the structure once the old covering is removed. Where rotten roof timber requires replacement, we address it before fitting the new membrane, battens and covering. The agreed process and relevant allowances are explained in writing.

Can we change from tiles to natural slate?

A change may be possible, but pitch, structural loading, detailing and appearance all need review first. We assess the roof and explain suitable covering options rather than assuming one material can directly replace another.

Can a skylight be added during roof renewal?

Yes, where the structure and selected product allow it. Coordinating the opening during renewal means support, underlay, covering and flashing can be formed in the correct sequence while the surrounding roof is already open.

Plan a re-roof from structure to covering

When repeated repairs no longer make sense, a full strip and re-roof lets us inspect what years of covering have hidden. We visit properties in Grantham to measure the roof, review access and assess the condition of visible materials before preparing the scope. During renewal, we remove the old covering back to the rafters and check the exposed timbers. Rotten sections can then be replaced before breathable membrane and treated battens are fitted. This creates a sound base for the chosen new covering rather than leaving old defects trapped below it.

Select materials around the building itself

Projects in Grantham can use concrete tiles, clay tiles, natural slate or suitable metal roofing. We compare pitch, structural weight, profile and appearance so the choice works technically as well as visually. Ridges, hips, verges and flashing are included as working parts of the roof, not finishing extras. If you want a roof window or skylight, a larger renewal project is a practical time to form the supported opening and integrate compatible flashing. The written quote records the material, realistic timing and applicable guarantee.
