When repeated repairs are no longer practical, a complete roof replacement in Barrow can provide a long-term solution and restore reliable weather protection to your property.

We undertake new and replacement roofing for suitable residential and commercial properties throughout Barrow-in-Furness and the surrounding Furness area.

Whether you’re replacing an ageing slate roof, a deteriorated tiled roof or an older flat roofing system, the project should begin with an assessment of the existing roof and property.

When Does a Roof Need Replacing?

Not every leaking or damaged roof needs complete replacement.

However, replacement may be worth considering when deterioration has become widespread or individual repairs are becoming increasingly frequent.

Possible signs include:

* Widespread slate or tile deterioration

* Repeated roof leaks

* Numerous previous repairs

* Significant age-related deterioration

* Extensive problems with fixings

* Failing roof coverings

* Large areas of storm damage

* Persistent water ingress

* Major flat roof deterioration

The condition of the complete roofing system should be considered before deciding between repair and replacement.

New Slate Roofs in Barrow

Slate roofing is a familiar feature of many properties throughout Barrow and Cumbria.

A professionally installed slate roof can provide a traditional appearance particularly suited to older and character properties.

Replacement work may involve removing the existing covering, inspecting the underlying roof structure and installing the appropriate roofing components before the new slate covering is completed.

New Tiled Roofs

Roof tiles provide another option for pitched residential roofing.

Different profiles and finishes are available, with the appropriate product depending on the building, roof pitch, design and existing property.

Attention should also be given to roof details including ridges, valleys, verges and flashing.

Re-Roofing Older Properties

Older Barrow properties can require a different approach from modern developments.

Once the existing roof covering is removed, previously hidden deterioration may become apparent.

A re-roofing project provides an opportunity to assess the condition of the roof beneath the covering and address appropriate defects before the new roofing system is installed.

Roof Replacement or Roof Repair?

A relatively sound roof with a small localised defect may only require repair.

Conversely, continually repairing a roof that has deteriorated extensively may become increasingly uneconomical.

We can assess the roof and explain whether targeted repairs or a more comprehensive replacement should be considered.

Flat Roof Replacement

We can also assess ageing flat roofs on extensions, garages and other suitable buildings.

Where localised repairs are no longer appropriate, replacing the existing covering with a suitable modern roofing system can provide a more comprehensive solution.
