New Roofs in Hull

When patching stops making sense, a new roof starts again from the rafters

A new roof means taking the old covering off completely and building it back up. The tiles or slates, the battens and the old sarking felt all come away, so the rafters can be seen and checked. From there the roof gets a breathable membrane, new treated battens, the covering you choose, and fresh ridges, verges and roofline. It is the right answer when a roof has worn out as a whole rather than failed in one spot.

Most of the roofs we replace around Hull have been patched for years. Slipped tiles keep coming back, the felt underneath has gone brittle, or the battens have softened and no longer hold a nail. Once repairs are chasing one another across the slope, replacing the roof usually works out better over time than keeping it going. Our free drone inspection shows you the state of every slope, so you can weigh that up with us.

We have been re-roofing houses across Yorkshire as a family-run firm since 1990, and every job runs to a written quote that sets out materials, ridge type and roofline. If you have wanted more light in the loft, this is the easiest moment to add it: we are VELUX-approved, so roof windows can go in while the roof is already open.
