Roofing Services
Traditional Pitched Roof Construction
Traditional cut-roof carpentry and pitched roof construction for extensions, alterations and new-build projects. Roof design, spans, loading, pitch and supporting structure are assessed against the drawings and specification before construction.
Re-Roofing and Roof Coverings
Replacement of existing roof coverings where a roof is reaching the end of its service life or undergoing wider refurbishment. Depending on the agreed scope, work may include tiles or slates, battens, breathable underlay, ridge and verge details, leadwork and rainwater goods.
Flat Roofs and GRP Roofing
Flat roof construction for extensions, dormers and residential projects, including timber decks, falls, insulation and GRP roofing systems where appropriate. The roof build-up and junction details are selected to suit the design and required performance.
Roof Carpentry and Alterations
Structural timber work, roof alterations and associated first-fix carpentry for loft conversions, dormers, extensions and renovations. We coordinate the roof work with the rest of the build, including structural steelwork where specified.
Pitched Roofing and Re-Roofing: What Is Involved?
Every property is different. We assess the existing roof or proposed design and agree the scope before work starts, so the quotation reflects the structure, access requirements and finishing details.
Roof Structure and Specification
For a new pitched roof, the structural design establishes the roof pitch, timber sizes, supports and connections. For a re-roof, we consider the condition of existing timbers and whether repairs or alterations may be required once the coverings are removed.
Weatherproofing and Finishes
Underlay, battens, tiles or slates, ridge and verge treatments, flashings, ventilation and rainwater goods must work together. The final specification depends on the property, roof pitch and selected covering.
Flat Roof Build-Ups
Warm roof and other suitable flat roof arrangements require careful consideration of insulation, falls, drainage outlets and junctions with walls and openings. These details are especially important on extensions and dormers.
Site Access and Programme
Scaffolding, protection from the weather, waste removal and coordination with other trades all affect the work sequence. We can discuss these requirements when reviewing your plans or visiting the property.

Roofing as Part of a Complete Building Project
Roofing is often closely connected to structural carpentry, insulation, extension construction and loft conversions. Coordinating these stages helps avoid problems at roof-to-wall junctions, dormer cheeks, openings and drainage details.
We undertake roofing as a dedicated project or as part of larger building works. Explore our house extension services, loft conversions and carpentry and joinery for related work.
