New Roof Installations & Full Re-Roofs

New Roofs Explained

What Does a Full Re-Roof Involve?

A full re-roof means stripping the old covering back to the rafters and rebuilding the roof properly, not laying new tiles over tired materials. Riverstone Roofing Ltd strips and removes the old tiles or slates, battens and underlay, inspects every rafter and wall plate for rot, then lays a modern breathable membrane, fixes graded pressure-treated battens to the correct gauge, and re-covers in your chosen tile or slate. Ridge and verge are fitted with mechanically fixed dry systems rather than mortar, so they cannot work loose in high wind. New lead is dressed by hand to chimneys, valleys and abutments, and eaves and ridge ventilation is fitted to meet current building regulations. A typical domestic re-roof takes three to five working days depending on size and access. Every roof is quoted free and in writing with a fixed price, and backed by a written guarantee.

Scope of Works

What’s Included
In a Full Re-Roof?

Every full re-roof we quote covers these ten stages. If something is not on this list it is not in the price, and we will say so before we start rather than after.

Strip and safe disposalOld tiles or slates, battens and underlay stripped back to the rafters, with all waste removed from site and disposed of responsibly.
Timber inspectionRafters, wall plates and any decking checked for rot or damage. Anything needing replacement is priced and agreed with you before we go further.
Breathable membraneModern breathable underlay laid across the whole roof so the structure stays ventilated and dry.
Treated battensGraded, pressure-treated battens fixed at the correct gauge for your tile or slate.
New or re-laid coveringYour chosen tiles or slates fitted, or the originals carefully re-laid where they are sound and you would rather keep the look.
Dry ridge and vergeMechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that do not rely on mortar and will not work loose in high wind.
Leadwork and flashingsNew lead to chimneys, valleys, abutments and soil pipes, hand-dressed to fit rather than patched with mortar.
VentilationEaves and ridge ventilation to meet current building regulations and stop condensation forming in the loft.
GutteringGutters cleared, re-aligned and re-fixed, or replaced if they are past saving.
Clean site and guaranteeScaffolding struck, the site left clean, and your written guarantee issued on completion.
