What Our Customers Have to Say
We’ve helped hundreds of customers with roofing they can
rely on. Here’s what some of them have said:
Janice Gannon

This is the 2nd time we have used this company and yet again the quality of work was excellent. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars is that there is no written 10 year guarantee just a verbal promise. Also our eventual bill was higher than the original quote but we appreciated that the job proved to be bigger than James originally thought. Very high standard of workmanship though and we would recommend.

They did a great job of dry verging our gable end. It looks clean and modern now instead of the mess it did look like. The price was very good. All mess tidied up and took away. Would definitely use them again.

Due to our carport roof in bad need of repair, James and his team did an excellent job. So whilst they were on site and with the house roof required attention that was also reroofed. Both have been done to a speedy and excellent standard, with all debris taken away. We could not be more pleased and thankful.

Had James come in to quote a leaking flat roof and to sort out a couple of minor issues with the guttering at my mum’s rental property . He gave a quote which was reasonable and carried out the work professionally and in a timely manner with decent communication throughout the progress of the work. Easy to deal, trustworthy and would recommend working with.
What’s Included in a New Roof Installation
A new roof installation involves removing all old roofing layers, checking the roof structure, and installing a complete new system. This includes breathable membranes, battens, and your chosen roof covering, such as tiles, slate, or flat roofing. We also inspect timbers for damage and replace insulation if needed. The process usually takes 2–5 days. All materials and work meet current building regulations and include a full guarantee.

When You Might Need a New Roof
Homeowners often replace roofs that are over 20–25 years old or have repeated leaks. Signs to look for include missing tiles, ceiling damp spots, sagging rooflines, or light coming through the loft. Local weather can wear down roofing faster—especially after storms. A full replacement is sometimes more cost-effective than frequent repairs and adds long-term protection to your home.

5 Signs You May Need a New Roof
Roofs wear out over time, and in Leicester’s mixed weather, that can happen faster than expected. Here are five signs that could mean it’s time for a new roof installation:
1. Water Damage Inside
If you notice brown stains or damp patches on your ceiling or walls, there may be water seeping through your roof. Over time, even small leaks can cause serious interior damage.
2. Missing or Broken Tiles
Strong winds and aging can loosen or break tiles. If left unfixed, rain can penetrate the underlayers and lead to rot or mold in the roof structure.
3. Roof Is Over 25 Years Old
Most roofs have a lifespan of 20–30 years. If your roof is nearing the end of that range, a replacement is often the most reliable option.
4.Sagging or Uneven Areas
A sagging ridge line or dips in the roof surface often indicate damage to the internal timbers—usually caused by long-term water exposure.
5. Moss or Plant Growth
Heavy moss means the roof is holding moisture, which breaks down materials over time. In Leicester’s damp climate, moss is a common issue on older roofs. If you spot any of these signs, it may be time to consider a new roof installation. A proper inspection can help you decide whether a full replacement is the right step.
What to Expect During a New Roof Installation
A new roof installation might seem like a big project, but understanding what happens can make it less stressful. Here’s a step-by-step look at the process:
Step 1: Site Preparation
We begin by putting up scaffolding and checking access to your property. Safety is key—for our team and your household.
Step 2: Old Roof Removal
We strip off the existing tiles or covering, underlay, and any damaged timber. This stage reveals the true condition of your roof structure.
Step 3: Structural Repairs
If we find rot, cracks, or unstable rafters, we make repairs before anything new is installed. In many homes, this is a key part of the job.
Step 4: Installation of New Layers
We install a breathable membrane, treated battens, and finally your chosen tile, slate, or flat roofing system. We also handle flashings, ridges, and ventilation details.
Step 5: Finishing and Clean-Up
After the roof is complete, we do a full site tidy and remove waste. We inspect everything carefully and issue paperwork for any guarantees. In most cases, the whole process takes less than a week. You’ll be left with a roof built to current standards, designed to last, and ready for changing weather.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions we hear from homeowners and businesses
looking for roofing:
How long does a new roof installation take?
Most projects are completed in 2–5 working days, depending on the size and shape of your roof and the type of materials used.
Will I need permission for a new roof in Leicester?
Not usually. If it’s a like-for-like replacement, you won’t need planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings and major roof shape changes.
Can I choose any roofing material?
Yes. We work with slate, clay and concrete tiles, synthetic options, and flat roofing materials like EPDM or felt. We’ll help you choose based on your roof type and budget.
How long does a new roof last?
A new roof installation typically lasts 30–50 years, depending on the material, roof pitch, and ongoing maintenance.
Do you inspect the structure before starting?
Yes. We always assess the roof’s timber structure before installation and during removal of the old roof. Any issues are flagged early with a clear plan for repairs.
