FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A) Our guarantee/warranty policy is in line with common industry practice. We provide a guarantee for work where we have renewed either the whole roof or part of the roof. Certain products and systems we install can also come with a manufacturer's warranty. We do not provide a guarantee for small repairs and maintenance (for example, the repair of 1-2 slipped slates on an aged roof). Full details of guarantees can be discussed during our initial meeting with the client.

A) The life expectancy of a new roof installation can vary depending on the roof type, the material used, and the location and exposure to adverse weather conditions. However, when done correctly, the property owner should expect good longevity (while being regularly maintained).

Slated roof: 80-100 years.
Clay tile roof: over 70 years.
Concrete tile roof: 50-60 years.
Flat roof: 25-35 years (when using high-quality materials).

A) It is usually possible to complete a repair to resolve a leak or fix some localised damage. However, there are occasions where a roof is too far past its life expectancy, and a full refurbishment is required. Some common symptoms include:

Persistent water ingress in multiple locations across the property, despite previous repairs attempted.
Several visibly slipped/broken slates or tiles on a pitched roof.
Significant and obvious deterioration to the flat roof felt or membrane.
Significantly deteriorated weatherings at junctions and abutments such as mortar fillets (skews), metal watergates, metal valleys, and metal ridge flashings.
Where the existing roof covering is more than 60 years old.
