How long does a roof last?
The lifespan of a roof largely depends on the material used. Options like tiles, felt, EPDM, fibreglass and slate each have different durability levels. Slate is among the most long-lasting, often exceeding 70 years with proper care. No matter the material, routine maintenance and timely repairs are essential to extend the life of your roof and keep it performing at its best.
How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
Signs your roof may need replacing include:
Missing or broken tiles
Leaks or water stains
Sagging rooflines
Moss or algae build-up
Light coming through the loft
If you're unsure, give us a call for a free roof inspection.
What’s the difference between a re-roof and a roof repair?
Roof repair involves fixing specific damaged areas.
Re-roofing means replacing the entire roof covering or layers, sometimes including structural repairs.
Our team can assess and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
What should I do if my roof is leaking?
If you notice a leak, try to contain the water to prevent damage to your interior. Leaks can quickly worsen, so fast action is essential to minimise costly damage. Contact us as soon as possible for advice and to arrange for a member of the team to inspect the problem.
