Keep the roofing stage tied to the build
Plans reviewed early
We use dimensions and drawings to prepare for structure and roof openings.
Builder coordination
We fit roofing activity around the stage and access of an active project.
Old-to-new details planned
We weatherproof abutments where the extension meets the original property.
Roofing coordinated with the extension build
An extension roof cannot be planned in isolation from the walls, openings and existing property. We use a practical motorway route to reach Lutterworth and work with builders or homeowners on new and extension roofs. Early coordination lets us consider roof dimensions, pitch, insulation interfaces and external finish before the build closes off useful access. Pitched designs may use tiles or slate, while suitable flat forms may use EPDM or felt. The covering choice must fit the structure and design, not simply match a picture. We also plan how the new roof meets the original building, where poor detailing can create a stubborn leak.
Send the drawings before the roof stage arrives
For a project in Lutterworth, share drawings or approximate roof dimensions, the intended covering and the current build stage. Tell us about access, scaffolding and the proposed junction with the existing property. These details help us coordinate abutments, lead flashing, gutters, outlets and any roof windows before materials are fitted. On tiled roofs, profile, weight and minimum pitch matter. New installations also need correct underlay, battens and edge details. Bringing us into the discussion early helps prevent an awkward opening or drainage route from becoming a roofing problem once the structure is already built.
Frequently asked questions
When should we involve you in an extension project?
Contact us before the roof stage if possible. Drawings, dimensions and the planned covering help us review pitch, openings, junctions and drainage while changes are easier to coordinate with the builder and wider project.
Can you install tiled roofs for new extensions?
Yes, where tiles suit the structure and roof pitch. We consider profile, weight, appearance and minimum pitch, then install the required underlay, battens and finishing details at ridges, verges, valleys and abutments.
What information do you need from our builder?
We need the roof drawings or dimensions, current build stage, intended covering and access arrangements. Details of wall junctions, gutters, outlets and roof openings are also useful. This lets us prepare the roofing sequence properly.
