When to Replace a Roof
At Complete Roofing & Building Services Ltd, we understand the importance of knowing exactly when to invest in new roofs for a property. Signs such as sagging, missing tiles, or leaks may indicate it’s time to consider a replacement roof. If your roof is over 20 years old, it’s worth getting a professional roofer to assess it.
For clients in Swindon and surrounding areas, we offer expert guidance to determine whether a full new roofing solution or a partial replacement is more cost-effective. We can replace damaged felt, battens, or individual tiles, rather than every aspect of the roof, keeping elements that are still healthy to save you both time and money.
Options for Pitched Roofing
For pitched roofs, there are two main materials: slate and tile. Both offer durability and aesthetic appeal, but the choice depends on your needs:
- Slate: Long-lasting, low-maintenance, and perfect for traditional properties. It provides excellent water resistance.
- Tile: More affordable and available in a wider range of colours and styles, tiles offer flexibility and are easier to repair.
A Complete roofer is always happy to help clients in and around Swindon decide which option best suits a property and budget. Whether you need a complete new roof or a replacement roof using partial materials, we deliver quality workmanship every time.
Pitched Roof Construction Explained
We follow a detailed construction process for pitched roofs, ensuring your new roofing project is built to last. The process includes:
- Removing old materials like worn felt and battens.
- Installing new felt for water protection.
- Fixing battens to provide a secure foundation.
- Laying tiles or slates with precise alignment.
- Completing with high-quality leadwork for a watertight seal.
Our approach guarantees that every replacement roof is built to meet the highest standards.
New Roofs – FAQ
How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just repairs?
If damage is localised, such as a few missing tiles or worn felt, targeted repairs may be enough. However, widespread leaks, sagging, or extensive age-related wear often mean a full new roof is the most cost-effective solution.
What’s the difference between slate and tile roofs?
Slate offers exceptional longevity and a classic appearance, often lasting over a century. Tiles are more affordable, available in a wide variety of colours and styles, and are quicker to replace if damaged. Both options provide excellent protection when installed by a professional roofer.
How long does it take to install a new roof?
The timescale depends on the size and complexity of the property, but most pitched roof installations are completed within one to two weeks. Clear communication and efficient project management keep delays to a minimum.
Do new roofs come with a guarantee?
Yes. We only use high-quality materials backed by manufacturer warranties, and our workmanship is fully insured, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
