New Roof Installation & Replacement In Slough

If you are only dealing with one or two slipped tiles or a minor leak around a chimney, a repair is usually sufficient. However, if the underlying felt is perishing and crumbling, or if you find yourself calling us out every time there is a storm in the Thames Valley, a full replacement is often the more cost-effective choice in the long run. We provide honest diagnostics to tell you which path is best for your budget.

In most cases, replacing a roof falls under "permitted development" and does not require a full planning application, provided the materials are similar in appearance to the existing ones. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in Windsor or Datchet, there are much tighter restrictions. We can help advise on what materials will likely be accepted by the local planning authority.

A standard semi-detached house in Slough or Uxbridge typically takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on the weather and the complexity of the chimney and valley work. We aim to keep your home weather-tight throughout the process, only stripping back what we can cover or batten down in a single day.

Very often, what looks like a roof leak is actually failing mortar on the chimney stack or perished lead flashings. During a full re-roof, we repoint the chimney bricks and replace the leadwork. This solves the problem of water soaking into the brickwork and travelling down into your rooms.

For a domestic extension in the Slough area, we usually recommend EPDM rubber. It handles the natural expansion and contraction of the building without cracking. It is also a "cold-applied" system, meaning we don't need to use open flames or hot bitumen on your home, making the installation much safer.

We are used to working in Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and narrow lanes. We coordinate the delivery of materials and the placement of skips to cause as little disruption as possible to you and your neighbours. We also make sure all scaffolding is properly permitted through the relevant council, whether that is Slough, RBWM, or Hillingdon.
