    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does a new roof last?
    A well-installed concrete tile roof typically lasts 50–60 years. Slate can last 100+ years. Flat roofs (GRP/EPDM) last 25–30 years with proper maintenance.
    Do I need planning permission for roof work?
    Most like-for-like roof repairs and replacements don't need planning permission. Dormer conversions, loft extensions, and changes to roof height usually do. We handle the paperwork for you.
    How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
    Signs include missing or cracked tiles, sagging ridgelines, damp patches on ceilings, daylight visible through the roof, and moss/lichen buildup. We offer free roof inspections.
    What's the difference between GRP and EPDM flat roofs?
    GRP (fibreglass) is seamless and extremely durable – ideal for walkable areas. EPDM (rubber) is lighter and cost-effective for larger areas. Both last 25+ years.
