THE COMPLETE ROOF, CONSIDERED
Pitched roofing. Every layer considered.
A roof covering is only one part of the story. We look at the structure, insulation, ventilation and finish together.
A complete approach to pitched roofs
The visible surface of a pitched roof sheds the weather, but its performance also depends on the layers and details beneath. Timber structure, insulation, airflow and junctions need to work with the chosen covering.
Roof Construction Systems can discuss the full roof build-up or an individual element of the work. Whether the project involves an existing building or a new roof, the starting point is to understand the structure and the intended result.
New work and existing roofs
For a new roof or extension, plans help establish the roof shape, proposed finish and interfaces with walls and neighbouring roof sections. For an existing roof, the condition of the underlying materials may not be clear until it has been assessed.
A visible symptom does not always identify the whole cause. Tell Harry what you have noticed and where it appears, without climbing onto the roof yourself.
The details that deserve attention
Roof edges, changes in slope, dormers and the points where a roof meets another surface all need a coherent detail. Discussing them early helps define the scope rather than leaving them as assumptions.
If timber work is part of the project, explore the hand-cut roofing service. If the main question concerns the thermal build-up, see warm and cold roofs.
What to send with your enquiry
Include the postcode, the approximate age of the roof if known, photographs taken from ground level and any drawings. Mention whether the work is part of a larger extension or refurbishment.
A specification, price and programme can only be agreed once the actual scope is understood. Guarantees depend on the service and qualifying system; ask which terms apply to the proposal for your roof.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Ask Harry.
Have a question about your own roof?
Ask Harry ↗
Do I need a complete new roof?
That cannot be determined from this website. Explain the issue and arrange an assessment with Harry so the existing condition and options can be considered.
Can insulation be considered with the roof covering?
Yes. The approach considers insulation and ventilation alongside structure and weatherproofing. The appropriate build-up depends on the property and proposed work.
