What's Involved

A re-roof takes the old covering off down to the rafters and builds the roof again: rotten timbers replaced, a new breathable membrane, eaves support trays, treated battens, new tiles or slates, and dry ridge, verge and valley systems that don't depend on mortar.

As a guide, a standard 64 m² roof takes around five working days, Monday to Friday. Every job gets its own time estimate once we have seen it.

We look at a roof to find the actual problem, not the easiest thing to change. If it can be repaired rather than replaced, that is what we will recommend, we would rather save you the cost of a new roof than sell you one you do not need.

What Goes Into a Holt Re-Roof

Strip to the rafters and check the timbers; any that have started to rot are replaced before anything goes back on.
Breathable membrane, with eaves support trays so the bottom edge can't sag and hold water.
25x50 treated timber battens throughout, or 25x38 laths on some roofs.
The tile or slate that suits the house: Sandtoft 2020, Ludlow, Double Roman, Rosemary, Ashmore, Marley Hawkins Staffs mix, large concrete tiles or cement fibre slates.
Dry ridge, verge, hip and valley systems, mechanically fixed. We only wet-bed a section where a solid wall won't take the fixings.
New lead round every chimney: soakers, step flashing, back and front plates.

Recent Re-Roofs

A large older house in Belper

Stripped back to the rafters; rotten timbers found during the strip were replaced first, then a Keylite roof window, new chimney leadwork, repointed gable ends and Sandtoft 2020 tiles.

Insulated to current regs in Ripley

The loft insulated to current Building Regulations before the membrane, eaves trays, battens, dry valleys, ridge and verge went on, finished in Double Roman tiles.

Our last re-roof of 2025

Traditional slates replaced with cement fibre slates fixed with copper nails and rivets, full leadwork renewal, chimneys ground out and repointed, and new black half-round guttering front and rear.

A roof another firm left in a mess

An elderly customer had paid so-called roofers who left her roof in a state. We stripped it, put it right and re-roofed it in large concrete tiles without charging her for the labour.
