FAQs

What Does a Roofing Company Do?

A roofing company specialises in installing, repairing, replacing, and maintaining all types of roofing systems. This includes flat, pitched, and tiled roofs, as well as modern roofing membranes. They provide a range of roofing services, including roof inspections, leak detection, storm-damage repairs, chimney work, and guttering solutions.

Our main goal is to ensure your roof is structurally sound, weather-resistant, and energy efficient. Our team will also advise on the best materials and systems for your property, helping you balance durability, appearance, and cost.

Does a New Roof Increase Property Value?

Yes, new roofs can significantly increase the value of your property. A new roof is a major selling point because it improves both the appearance and structural integrity of a home.

Buyers are often willing to pay more for a property that won’t require immediate roofing repairs or replacements. In addition, a new roof can improve insulation and energy efficiency, which helps reduce heating costs – another attractive feature for buyers. Depending on the property and materials used, homeowners can often recoup a large percentage of the installation cost when selling.

What is the Average Lifespan of a Flat Roof?

The average lifespan of a flat roof is typically 15 to 30 years, though this can vary with the materials used and the quality of installation. For example, traditional felt roofs tend to have a shorter lifespan, while modern systems such as EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and PVC membranes can last significantly longer.

Regular maintenance is a key part of our flat roofing services and helps extend the lifespan of our roofs. Our maintenance services cover:

  • Clearing Debris 
  • Ensuring Proper Drainage
  • Routine Roof Inspections
  • Resealing Flashing

What Material is Used for a Pitched Roof?

Pitched roofing is constructed using a variety of durable materials, with the choice often depending on budget, style, and performance requirements.

The most common materials include clay tiles, concrete tiles, and natural slate. Clay tiles are popular for their traditional appearance and long lifespan, while concrete tiles are more affordable and versatile. Slate is considered a premium option due to its exceptional durability and lifespan, often exceeding 100 years when properly maintained. In some modern designs, metal roofing is also used for its lightweight and contemporary finish.

What Size Gutter Should I Install?

The correct gutter installation size depends on your roof size, pitch, and the amount of rainfall your area typically receives. In the UK, the most common residential gutter sizes are 112mm (standard) and 125mm (high-capacity). Larger properties or roofs with a steep pitch often require wider gutters to handle increased water flow and prevent overflow during heavy rain.

Downpipe size is also important, as it ensures efficient drainage away from the property. A professional installer will calculate the correct system based on roof area and rainfall exposure to ensure optimal performance.
