Project type defined
We separate new roof builds from replacement of existing coverings.
Materials planned early
Roof dimensions and covering details help us prepare the right system.
Slate faults assessed
We check whether movement is isolated or linked to wider deterioration.
Plan new roofs and pitched replacements clearly
A new roof for an extension starts with a prepared structure and a fresh specification. Replacing an existing pitched roof starts by stripping an ageing covering and seeing what lies beneath. We travel from Cardiff to Chepstow for both types of planned project. Before attendance, we ask about roof dimensions, pitch, covering type, access and the scale of the build. Those details help us plan labour and materials. On site, we confirm how the roof shape, drainage, ventilation and weatherproof junctions affect the required system.
Keep isolated slate defects in proportion
Not every roofing enquiry in Chepstow leads to a complete renewal. One cracked or slipped slate may only require careful replacement, with its size, thickness, colour and overlap matched as closely as practical. Repeated slippage or failures across several courses can indicate weak fixings, battens or wider age-related wear. We inspect that pattern before recommending a pitched roof replacement. Early photographs and access information make planned visits easier to organise, particularly where materials need to suit an existing slate covering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a new roof and re-roofing?
A new roof forms part of a new structure or extension and needs a complete specification. Re-roofing strips and renews the weatherproof layers on an existing roof.
Can you replace a single damaged slate in Chepstow?
Yes, when the surrounding course and fixings remain sound. We consider size, thickness, colour and lap before securing a suitable replacement without disturbing more of the roof than needed.
What should we send for a planned roof project?
Send roof dimensions if known, the covering type, safe photographs, project drawings and access details. Tell us whether the structure is new or the existing roof needs to be stripped.
