Full re-roofs carried out with breathable membrane, new battens, and mechanically fixed ridges. Written 10-year workmanship guarantee. Free survey and itemised quote before any commitment.
Full roof replacement becomes the right investment when repair costs are escalating, nail sickness is widespread, or the felt underlay has deteriorated. We carry out re-roofs with breathable membrane, new battens, and the correct tile specification for the property and its planning context.
Replacement becomes the better investment when nail sickness affects multiple pitches, when the felt underlay has deteriorated across the roof, or when the annual repair spend has been consistently above £600 to £800. We give you the honest comparison between continued repair and planned replacement at the survey.
Strip all tiles, battens and underlay. Inspect all structural timber and replace any rot or insect damage. Install breathable membrane. New treated battens at the correct gauge. Tile from eaves to ridge in the correct bond. Mortar-bed or dry-fix ridge with mechanical clips. Replace all lead work. Inspect and report on guttering and fascia condition.
Clay plain tiles for conservation area and period properties. New-generation concrete interlocking tile for post-war estates. Welsh or natural slate where the original specification was slate. Mechanically fixed throughout for coastal and exposed positions. We specify the material to the property and its planning context, not to cost.

Donnington properties are assessed with the harbour proximity factor built into our specification from the start.

Before we quote any re-roof, we carry out a thorough survey: close-range tile inspection on every pitch, ridge and hip assessment, felt condition check at the eaves, loft access for structural timber inspection where possible, and a review of guttering and fascia condition. The survey determines the tile specification appropriate for the property and its planning context, confirms the breathable membrane requirement, identifies any structural timber replacement needed, and establishes the access requirements. In Donnington Chichester, where harbour-adjacent post-war residential with salt air acceleration, the survey findings directly shape the specification we recommend.
We strip all tiles, battens and underlay from the roof structure. All exposed rafters, ridge boards and hip boards are inspected — any showing rot or insect damage are replaced as part of the project, included in the quote rather than added as a surprise during work. Breathable membrane goes on first, creating the secondary weather barrier. New treated timber battens at the correct gauge for the tile. Tiles laid from eaves to ridge in the correct bond. Ridge tiles mortar-bedded with mechanical clips, or full dry-fix on modern and exposed properties. All lead work replaced or reinstated. A new roof takes 3 to 7 days on a standard property — we board the open section at the end of each working day so the house is protected overnight throughout.
A 3-bedroom semi-detached in Donnington Chichester typically costs £5,500 to £12,000 to re-roof depending on the tile specification, roof complexity and scaffold requirements.

Our quotes are written and fully itemised — scaffold, materials, labour and waste disposal all shown separately. Every re-roof carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee.
