What a Complete Re-Roof Actually Involves

A complete re-roof is a bigger undertaking than a repair, but broken into its actual stages, it's a straightforward, well-understood process.

Strip-out

The existing covering comes off down to the structural timber, which is also the first real opportunity to see the condition of what's underneath.

Structural repairs

Any timber issues found during strip-out get addressed before anything new goes on — this is exactly why the structural survey stage matters.

Underlay, battens and ventilation

New underlay and battens go on next, along with correct ventilation detailing, which does most of the unglamorous but critical weatherproofing work.

The covering itself

Tiles or slate get fitted along with all the ridge, hip and valley detailing that ties the roof together properly.

Sign-off and clean-up

A finished job includes a final inspection and a proper site clean — scaffolding down, debris cleared, property left tidy.

We cover new build and re-roofing projects throughout Chester, Crewe, Warrington, Northwich, Winsford, Macclesfield, Knutsford, Wilmslow and across the rest of Cheshire and the Wirral. Our team will walk you through each of these stages before work starts on your property.
