Re-Roofing & New Roofs in Orpington & Bromley

A brand-new roof for your Orpington or Bromley home — full strip-and-recover, new-build roofs and over-roofing. Time-served roofers build every job, and every job carries an insured guarantee. Since we strip right back to the structure, we catch hidden problems like rotten timbers early. We fix them properly instead of covering them over.

When repairs are no longer enough

There comes a point when patching a roof stops making sense. The tiles turn porous, the felt perishes, and every storm brings another leak. A properly installed new roof ends the cycle of repairs and protects your home for decades. A leaking roof can quietly damage timbers and insulation for months before you notice anything inside. Wait too long to replace it. However, it usually costs more in the end.

We handle the whole job. We strip the old covering, then check and replace battens, breathable membrane and any damaged timbers. We finish by re-covering in slate, clay or concrete tile, with new flashings and ventilation. You see the tile or slate on top. Yet it's the layers underneath — membrane, battens and ventilation — that decide how long your new roof actually lasts.

Not every ageing roof needs a full strip-out. Where the structure underneath is still sound, an over-roof can sometimes recover the existing covering at a lower cost. A proper survey always comes before the recommendation, not the price tag. Our repair-or-replace guide explains how we make that call. An over-roof can save on cost and disruption. But it only makes sense once we've confirmed the existing structure is sound enough to build on.

Re-roofs are usually planned rather than urgent. That gives us time to sequence scaffolding, materials and any Building Regulations notification properly before work starts. As a result, most Orpington and Bromley customers get a firm start date and a realistic completion window well in advance.

Re-roofing FAQs

How much does a new roof cost in Orpington or Bromley? +
It depends on the roof's size and pitch, and the covering — slate, clay or concrete tile. It also depends on whether battens, felt or timbers need replacing. We survey the roof and give a detailed fixed quote, so you know exactly what's included.
How long does it take to re-roof a typical house? +
We usually re-roof a standard semi-detached or terraced house within a few days to a week, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs take longer. We agree a timescale before we start.
What are the signs my roof needs replacing? +
Look for widespread slipped or cracked tiles, sagging, recurring leaks, and daylight in the loft. Additionally, a roof simply reaching the end of its life is another sign. A free survey confirms whether repair or replacement is the better value.
New roof or over-roof — when does re-covering work? +
In some cases we can re-cover an existing roof rather than fully strip it. That can save time and cost. It isn't right for every roof, though — we'll tell you honestly whether it suits yours.
What guarantees come with a new roof? +
Product guarantees and workmanship guarantees, plus insurance-backed guarantees on approved systems. Since we're a manufacturer-approved, FMB-registered contractor, both we and the material makers stand behind our warranties.
