A complete roof, not just a new covering
System matched to design
We select pitched or flat materials around pitch, use and roof structure.
Hidden layers considered
We coordinate the covering with weatherproof layers and ventilation details.
Rain routes controlled
We plan valleys, outlets and junctions as carefully as the main surface.
Start with the right roof construction
A completely new roof may be needed for a new building, extension or major reconstruction. The covering is only one part of the job. We first consider whether the structure or deck is ready, then plan the weatherproof layers, insulation interfaces and ventilation required by the design. Pitched roofs may use slate or tile, while suitable flat roofs can use EPDM, GRP or felt. We match the system to the pitch, use, appearance and detailing needs of the building rather than choosing material in isolation.
Finish every route that rain can follow
Water does not only test the broad roof surface. It runs into valleys and outlets, meets walls and passes around windows, chimneys and other penetrations. We form these details alongside ridges, verges and edges so the covering works as one complete system. On flat roofs, correct falls and drainage are central to the design. Access, roof complexity and material handling also shape the programme. We review these practical points before installation so the work can be planned in the right order.
Frequently asked questions
Which covering should I choose for a new roof?
The suitable choice depends on pitch, structure, building use, appearance and drainage. We discuss slate, tile, EPDM, GRP or felt only after considering how the chosen material will work across the whole roof.
How long does a new roof installation take?
The programme depends on roof size, access, complexity, weather and the number of detailed junctions. Structural readiness and coordination with other trades also matter. We assess these points before setting out the work stages.
Are insulation and ventilation part of roof planning?
Yes. They meet the weatherproof roof build-up and can affect condensation control and detailing. We consider their interfaces during planning, even where another part of the project team is responsible for separate elements.
