Design help available
We help plan the roof shape, covering, drainage and key junction details.
Materials chosen properly
We consider pitch, weight, exposure and appearance before fitting begins.
Details planned early
We coordinate access and roof stages with the rest of your building work.
Plan the whole roof before fitting begins
A new roof needs more thought than choosing a tile that looks right from the pavement. The shape, pitch, weight, drainage and ventilation must work together, while every wall, chimney and roof opening needs a sound weatherproof junction. We provide a design service for new roof installation in Cardiff, helping you settle the main specification before materials arrive. The project may use tiles, natural or manufactured slates, or a suitable flat-roof system. We consider the appearance alongside practical points such as exposure, minimum pitch and the load placed on the prepared structure.
A clear build-up from structure to finish
Once the supporting structure is ready, we prepare the deck or fit the underlay and battens required for the selected system. We then install the covering before completing ridges, verges, edges, outlets and flashing. Early decisions make this sequence easier to manage. You will need to confirm the finish, covering type, access arrangements and how our roofing work fits around the wider build. We use those details to plan labour and materials, reduce avoidable hold-ups and make sure important junctions are not treated as an afterthought.
Frequently asked questions
Which covering should we choose for a new roof?
We consider the roof pitch, structure, exposure and the finish you want. Tiles and slates suit many pitched roofs, while the shape and use of a flat area will guide the choice of waterproof system.
When should we discuss the roof design?
Speak to us while the wider project is being planned. Early decisions about shape, drainage, ventilation, openings and materials help us form a coherent specification before installation starts.
What must be ready before installation begins?
The supporting structure must be prepared for the agreed roof build-up. We also need suitable access, confirmed covering choices and clear coordination with any other trades working on the project.
