When a New Roof Makes More Sense Than Repairs

If you keep calling someone out for the same leaks, a new roof is often the better choice. Other signs include lots of cracked or porous tiles, sagging areas and old felt that has turned brittle. At that point, patching the roof costs more over time than replacing it.

What Happens During a New Roof Installation

We set up safe access, strip the old tiles and felt, and check the rafters for rot or damage. Next we fit a breathable membrane, new battens and the new tiles or slates. The job finishes with new ridge and hip tiles, and any flashing or leadwork the roof needs.

Choosing Tiles or Slates for Your New Roof

Concrete tiles are hard wearing and good value. Clay tiles give a traditional look and can last a very long time. Natural slate is light, thin and neat on older properties. We talk you through each option and help you pick one that suits your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a new roof installation take in Ramsgate?

A new roof installation on a typical house in Ramsgate often takes around one to two weeks. The exact time depends on the size and shape of the roof, the materials chosen and the weather. We give you a clear timescale when we price the job.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

Usually not, if you are replacing the roof like for like without changing its shape or height. Replacing a large part of a roof normally needs to meet building regulations, including insulation standards. Listed buildings and conservation areas have extra rules, so check with the council first.

Will my home be exposed to rain during a new roof installation?

No. We only strip as much of the roof as we can cover the same day. At the end of each day the open section is protected with membrane or sheeting. If rain is forecast, we plan the work around it so your home in Ramsgate stays dry.
