What makes a full roof replacement worth doing
Measured before we price
We base the specification on consultation and property measurements, not a rough guess.
Whole-roof detailing
Coverings, ridges, verges, flashings and drainage points are planned to work together.
Advice without the drama
If repair is still sensible, we'll say so. Re-roofing is for roofs that have truly run out of road.
New roofs planned around the building
A new roof on a fresh structure is a different job from re-roofing an older property, but both need more than a quick measure and a guess. We assess the building, talk through the look you want and take the measurements needed to shape the right specification. That includes choosing a pitched or flat system, weighing up suitable coverings and thinking about how the roof will sit with the character of the property. In Brixham, we also consider exposure, drainage and the way the roof will work day after day, not just how it looks on handover.
From strip-back to finished weatherproof details
When re-roofing is the right call, we can remove the tired covering, check the structure beneath and build the roof back up with the right underlay, battens, coverings and junction details. We look at pitch, roof shape, access, ventilation, drainage routes and the condition of existing timbers before the final specification is set. The aim is a complete roof, not a half-finished one, so ridges, verges, flashings and drainage interfaces are treated as part of the same job.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a new roof and re-roofing?
A new roof is fitted to a new structure, such as a new build or extension. Re-roofing means replacing the covering, and sometimes more of the build-up, on an existing property where the current roof has reached the end of its useful life.
How do you decide which roof type and material suits my property?
We look at the roof shape, pitch, building style, drainage, ventilation, access and the condition of the supporting structure. From there, we can recommend a pitched or flat system and materials that suit both the property and the job.
Do you check the roof structure during replacement work?
Yes. If we're stripping back an existing roof, we inspect the supporting structure as part of the job. That helps us spot any damaged timbers or related issues before the new covering goes on, rather than hiding problems beneath fresh materials.
