New Roofs
in Coatbridge,
from the sarking up.

For most houses the full job comes to between £7,500 and £18,000, fitted. Scaffolding, the strip-out, new membrane and battens, the covering itself, the ridge and the certification are all inside that number. Concrete tile on a Kirkshaws or Greenend terrace is generally £7,500 to £14,000; natural slate £12,000 to £25,000 or more; clay pantile £10,000 to £20,000; a flat roof £3,000 to £8,000. Your own price comes after a free survey, with no obligation attached.

Up to 14 working days, and rain can stretch that. Start to finish, from the day you give the word to the final walkround, is normally 3 to 5 weeks, since the materials have to arrive and the scaffold has to be built. Whatever is opened up gets closed again before the team leaves for the night.

It can. North Lanarkshire Council will usually expect a slate roof on a building like that to be replaced in natural slate that matches the street, and a listed building is looked at more closely still. We supply Scottish, Welsh and Spanish slate, sorted for size and shade, and the surveyor will tell you at the first visit whether consent is likely to be needed before anything starts.

It often is. Cracked cement fillets and tired lead around a stack are one of the commonest causes of a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling. While the scaffold is there the flashings and soakers can be renewed in lead, the haunching at the top redone and, where a stack is no longer in use, it can be taken down and the roof closed over. All of it is set out in the quote before you agree to anything.

That is what the survey is for, and you see the photographs either way. Slipped slates after a storm, a single split flashing or a short run of loose ridge tiles is a repair and we quote it as one. When the felt below has gone brittle, the battens crumble at a fixing or the same leak keeps coming back, the sums stop favouring another patch.

No, and we would rather tell you now than have you turn up expecting it. Braehead, inside Dobbies Garden Centre at 75 Kings Inch Drive, Renfrew, G51 4FB, shows kitchens and bathrooms, and so does Kilmarnock. Roof samples travel to your door instead, which is the only way to judge a slate or a tile against your own walls. Braehead is open 10am to 5pm daily and Kilmarnock Monday to Saturday, Sundays by appointment, for a chat about the job or about paying monthly.

Yes, and doing them alongside the main roof is the cheaper way round, because the access is already there. The deck is stripped back, any rotten boards are replaced, and a GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber covering goes on in one piece with a fall to the outlet. Most flat sections are finished within a few days.

It is the obvious time, since the covering is already lifted. Plenty of older Coatbridge houses still have the thin layer that was laid decades ago, well short of what today's regulations ask for. The loft can be brought up to depth, a room in the roof insulated between and under the rafters, and roof windows fitted, all priced in the same quote.

Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years.
