A new roof without vague specifications
Materials that suit the pitch
We match slate, tile or flat-roof systems to the structure and roof angle.
Junctions finished carefully
We plan around walls, chimneys and edges where rainwater often finds a route.
Builder coordination
We fit roofing stages around active building projects and agreed site access.
A complete roof, properly planned
A new roof has to do more than look tidy from the pavement. It must suit the pitch, carry the chosen covering and move rainwater away without relying on wishful thinking. We assess the roof dimensions, property design and intended finish before discussing slate, tile or flat-roof options. For projects in Northampton, we can work for private customers or coordinate with builders. The installation may include underlay, battens, the outer covering, ridges, edges, leadwork and drainage details. We also consider junctions with walls, chimneys or adjoining roofs because these are often where a sound-looking roof can let water through.
Know what affects the job before it starts
Roof size is only one part of the price. Access, scaffolding, covering choice, roof shape and details such as valleys or cement work all affect the scope. Where an old covering must come off, we plan for stripping and removal before inspecting the layers beneath. Roofing is weather-dependent, so an exposed roof needs careful timing and protection. Once the new system is fitted, we check the ridges, verges, junctions and water routes rather than treating the final tile as the finish line. You get a roof specified for the building and a clear explanation of the work involved.
Frequently asked questions
How do we choose between slate, tile and flat roofing?
We look at the roof pitch, supporting structure, appearance, detailing and budget. Slate and tile suit many pitched roofs, while EPDM or felt may suit flat and low-slope sections. We explain the practical differences before the specification is agreed.
What can change the price of a new roof?
Dimensions, access, scaffolding, roof complexity and the covering all affect the price. Chimneys, valleys, leadwork and removal of an old roof can add work. We assess these details so the proposed price reflects the actual building.
Will bad weather affect the installation programme?
It can. Stripping and covering a roof safely depends on workable conditions, especially when large areas are exposed. We plan the stages carefully and protect the property during the work, but unsafe or severe weather may alter the programme.
