New Roof Installation in New Galloway

It depends on several factors, such as the extent of the damage and the materials it is constructed from. We will survey the roof and let the customer know the options available to them. We can always repair when it is an option, but sometimes a full replacement is the only solution. Whatever the situation, you need to have a roofer properly assess the roof.

Only in very exceptional circumstances, such as when a roof is very structurally unsafe. Otherwise, you can stay at home.

Leaks are often the first sign that something is wrong. Make sure you inspect your roof and gutters twice a year. Look for cracked, warped or missing shingles or tiles or excessive surface granules accumulating in the gutters – these can all be visible signs that your roof has a problem. Indoors you should look out for bubbled or peeling wallpaper, cracked paint, discoloured plasterboard or anything out of the norm. Remember, the longer you leave a problem the more expensive the solution can become.

We’d recommend replacing any areas of the roof that are particularly bad. Otherwise, we would treat it using safe products.

Just because your roof has a leak does not mean it needs a complete re-fit. A leak usually stems from a loose, broken or cracked roof tile. However, a complete roof system failure or a generally unsafe roof will need a complete re-fit.

Cracked or broken tiles are a common occurrence. When they do occur, we recommend that they are removed and replaced as soon as possible to minimise damage to the sub-structure. Replacing damaged tiles is a skilled job, you need professional roofers to ensure your safety and that the job is done properly so that no further damage is done while replacing the tiles.

This depends on a variety of factors such as size, complexity, location, product, fittings etc. As a guideline, re-roofing a typical semi-detached property with clay tiles could cost anything between £3500 and £5500. Contact us and we will be happy to offer a free site survey and quote.
