Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing

Tiles slipping more than once a season, sagging between the rafters, daylight through the felt in the loft and damp patches in more than one room all point the same way. One or two on their own may be a repair. Together they usually mean replacement.

More Information

Repair or Replace: How We Decide

We look at the felt, the battens, the fixings and how much of the covering has failed. If under a quarter of the roof is the problem and the rest is sound, we repair. If the underlay has perished across the roof, replacing costs less over time.

Keeping Your Home Dry During the Work

We take the roof off in sections rather than all at once. At the end of each day the open area is sheeted and weighted down. If heavy rain is forecast we plan around it. Your loft stays dry and you can carry on living in the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof replacement cost in Alton?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the covering you choose, the condition of the timbers and whether scaffolding is straightforward. We check the roof and give you a written quotation free of charge, broken down so you can see what each part covers.

Can you replace half a roof?

Yes, and it is common on semi detached and terraced homes or where one slope has failed and the other has not. We match the new covering to the existing side as closely as possible. It is worth checking the second slope at the same time.

Do I need to move out during a roof replacement?

No. The work is done from outside and from scaffolding, so you can stay in the house. It is noisy for a few days and there will be dust in the loft. We cover anything stored up there before we start.
