Roof Replacements and New Roofs in Fife and Glasgow
When a roof reaches the end of its life, patching it up stops making sense. We install complete new roofs across Fife and Glasgow, built to last and finished to a standard you will be glad to have over your head. Just an honest assessment and a job we stand behind.
Signs you may need a new roof
- Repeated leaks in different spots
- Widespread slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- A visibly sagging or dipping roofline
- A roof over 50 years old that has never been replaced
- Damp, rot or daylight visible in the loft
How we do it
- Free survey. We assess the full roof, the timbers and the underlay, not just the surface.
- Honest recommendation. We only recommend a full replacement when a repair genuinely will not last.
- Clear written quote. Itemised and fixed, covering materials, labour, scaffolding and disposal.
- The installation. Old covering stripped, deck and timbers checked, new membrane, battens and covering fitted.
- Tidy up and guarantee. Full site clean and your workmanship guarantee explained.
Your new roof options
We install slate, tile and other coverings to suit your property and budget, with new breathable membrane, treated battens, and fresh leadwork and flashings as standard. We will walk you through the options and the trade-offs on look, lifespan and cost.
What affects the cost
A new roof is priced on the size and pitch of the roof, the covering you choose, the condition of the timbers underneath, scaffolding, and the cost of removing and disposing of the old roof. It is a considered investment, and we quote it clearly in writing after a full survey.
